Biography
He was born in Kufa, Iraq in 159H.
He was the author of large
voluminous works such as
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah, Al-
Musnad and others. He heard
from a large group of the scholars
from the reliable and trustworthy
Imams, such as Sufyan ibn
:
'Uyaynah, 'Abd Allah ibn Al-
Mubarak and 'Abd al-Rahman ibn
Mahdi. Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal
and his son, 'Abd Allah, reported
on his authority and he is from the
shuyukh (teachers) of the famous
Imams: Al-Bukhari, Muslim, Abu
Dawud and Ibn Majah. Abu
'Ubayd Al-Qasim ibn Salam said:
"The leading scholars of Hadith
are four: The most knowledgeable
of them of the Halal and the
Haram (Lawful and Unlawful) is
Ahmad ibn Hanbal. The best at
listing hadeeth and placing them
:
in the right context is Ali ibn al-
Madini. The best at writing a book
is Ibn Abi Shaybah. And the most
knowledgeable of which hadith
are authentic and which are weak
is Yahya ibn Ma'in." He added
that: "(Knowledge of) the
Hadeeth ultimately goes back to
four (people): to Abu Bakr Ibn Abi
Shaybah, Ahmad ibn Hanbal,
Yahya ibn Ma'in and 'Ali ibn al-
Madini. So Abu Bakr (Ibn Abi
Shaybah) is the best among them
at presenting it (i.e. the hadith).
Ahmad is the one with the most
:
Fiqh (understanding) of it among
them. Yahya is best among them
at gathering and collecting it. And
'Ali is the most knowledgeable
amongst them of it." Al-'Ijli said:
"He is reliable (thiqqah) and a
Hafiz." Al-Khatib al-Baghdadi
said: "He was precise in his
narration (mutqin), memorized
many ahadith (hafiz), and
produced many works (mukthir).
He wrote the books Al-Musnad,
Al-Ahkam, and At-Tafsir." Al-Hafiz
Al-Dhahabi described him as:
"The Grand and unique Hafiz, and
:
the one who is reliable (in
narration)." He died at the age of
76 (235H). [5]
