Short Biography of Imam al- Bukhari(rah)

IMAM Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Ismaeel bin al-Mughirah al-Bukhari was born

on 13th of Shawwal 194 AH in Bukhara. a town in the eastern part of

Turkestan.

His father died while he was still in his infancy and his upbringing was

left entirely to his mother, who looked after his health and education very

carefully and spared nothing in order to provide him with the best

education.

Quite early in life, Imam Bukhari's intellectual qualities became

noticeable. He had great piety and an extremely good memory and devotion to

learning. It is said that while he was still in his teens he knew by heart

seventy thousand Sayings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad.

At the age of 16, he went to Macca with his mother and enjoyed his stay in

the Holy City so much that he decided to prolong his visit in order to

benefit from the company of the great Muslim scholars who were always to be

found there. At the age of eighteen, he wrote his first book on the subject

of the Prophet's Companions and their immediate successors, and later a book

on history called "Al-Tarikh-al-Kabir".

Imam Bukhari was very interested in history and the Ahadith (sayings of the

Prophet). He sought the company of great scholars in order to learn and

discuss the Ahadith of the Holy Prophet. He visited various countries,

travelling to Damascus, Cairo, Baghdad, Basra. Mecca, Medina etc. During his

stay in Baghdad, he frequently held discussions with the Imam Ahmed Hanbal,

the founder of the Hanbali school of law.

During all these travels, Imam Bukhari had one aim: to gather as much

knowledge as possible and to make the greatest possible collection of the

Traditions of the Holy Prophet. He wrote profusely all the time. He once

said that, “l have written about 1800 persons, each of whom had a Saying of

the Prophet, and I have written only about those who have passed my test of

truthfulness."

The Imam possessed one of the most amazing memories, and his contribution to

the science of the Ahadith remains unequalled. He wrote several books on

Ahadith but in his book: "Al-Jami-al-Sahih': the Imam had recorded all the

Sayings of the Prophet which he found to be genuine after thorough

examination and scrutiny. He spent sixteen years in research and examined

more than sixty thousand Sayings from which he selected some 7,275 Sayings

whose genuineness and accuracy he established beyond the slightest doubt.

Deducting duplicates, the Imam's collection contain about four thousand

distinct Sayings.

Imam Bukhari was extremely charitable in his remarks and opinions about men

and scholars. Seldom did he brand the reporter of a false or inaccurate

Hadith as a liar or forger, but simply called him "untrustworthy".

His popularity inspired jealousy in the hearts of reactionary Ulema of his

time and he was banished from the land of his birth by the Governor of

Bukhara as a result of intrigues against him.
