His Sahih is said to share about hadiths with Bukhari's Sahih. After many studies throughout the Arabian Peninsula, Egypt, Iraq and Syria, he settled down in his hometown of Nishapur where he first met Bukhari, with whom he would have a friendship until his death. In , he was appointed to a chair in the mosque of Baybars in Cairo.

An alternative spelling of his name is Jalaluddin. His mother was Circassian and his father was of Persian origin, while Al-Suyuti says that his ancestors came from Al-Khudayriyya in Baghdad.
Al-Suyuti studied various subjects, including: Shafi'i and Hanafi jurisprudence, traditions hadith , exegesis tafsir , theology, history, rhetoric, philosophy, philology, arithmetic, timekeeping miqat and medicine.

Like the medicinal works of Abu al-Faraj ibn al-Jawzi, al-Suyuti's book was almost exclusively based on Prophetic medicine rather than a synthesis of both Islamic and Greek medicine like the works of Al-Dhahabi. Al-Suyuti's work focused primarily on diet and natural remedies for both serious ailments such as rabies and smallpox and simple conditions such as headaches and nosebleeds; he also touched on the toic of the cosmology behind the principles of medical ethics.
