Biography Muhammad Bukhari
The place of birth of Muhammad al-Bukhari was the city of Bukhara. His father was known as the ally of Malik Ibn Anas, and was a very educated person. His mother was also an educated woman, and she personally controlled the boy’s training in all kinds of sciences. Muhammad's father died when he was still very small. Childhood and study at an early age, he discovered in himself the ability to hadce.
At the age of six, he read many surahs from the Qur'an by heart. By the grace of Allah, Muhammad from childhood had an excellent memory and this began to be noticed by others. Hashid bin Ismail told about him that Muhammad al-Bukhari visited at adolescence in the bassra of Sheikh-Knotov Khadisov, but he never recorded anything. And when the mentors began to point to this, Muhammad listened for a long time to exhort them, but sixteen days later reproached them for annoying this to him.
He asked them to get their notes and not read, and began to quote each of the recorded fifteen thousand hadiths by heart. The mentors even had to correct their notes so that they correspond to what he remembered from memory. Muhammad al-Bukhari then made it clear that he should not think that he visits Sheikhs for the sake of a joke and spend his time in vain-all the knowledge that they pass on to him, he remembers.
When he reached the age of sixteen, he took a pilgrimage, accompanied by his mother and brother Ahmad in Mecca. In Mecca, he remained over the next four years, studying under the curators of Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal the well-known at that time scientist-Hadisucca, the hadiths, the list of which Imam bin Hanbal had thirty thousand then. The training of Muhammad al-Bukhari took place in the most famous centers of Islamic sciences at that time: with Ahmad Ibn Hanbale, who was at the greatest Hadiboyoprie at that time, Muhammad met in Baghdad eight times, and in Damascus he was taught by Abu Muskhir.
After spending six years in Hijaz, in Nishapur he also studied with Yahi Ibn Munhari, a teacher and the famous Hafiz of those times. According to his own testimonies, one thousand eight hundred teachers conveyed their knowledge to him. It is told that the young men Muhammad al-Bukhari always followed the many inhabitants of the Basra, who loved to listen to the hadiths, and asked him to tell them.
They pursued him until he agreed, and then seated him, they themselves were around, and listened carefully and even recorded him, although he was still a very young guy at that time. The phenomenal memory of the scientist about the accuracy of his and excellent memory was legends. The story is widely known when Imam al-Bukhari went to Samarkand and met there with the experts in the hadiths, of which there were four hundred people.
Hadis scholars mixed a chain of transmitters or isnads of Iraqi and Shamian transmitters among themselves, then they attached them to the texts of other hadiths, all this was read by the imam of al-Bukhari, and he showed them what texts to which hadiths belong, bringing everything to the same order as it should be initially. When everything was brought into the initial order, not a single correspondence was found in any isnad or text of the hadith.
A similar story happened in Baghdad: there he read the book only once, and immediately remembered its content by heart. The works of al-Bukhari many ulems praised Imam al-Bukhari. According to Imam Ahmad, in Khorasan there was no similar to Imam al-Bukhari. According to Abu-l-Abbas ad-Dalyavi, the inhabitants of Baghdad wrote a message to Muhammad al-Bukhari, in which they said that the Muslims would not leave the benefit until the imam al-Bukhari will be with them.
They also said that after Imam al-Bukhari he would be very lacking and there would be no better than him. The words of Ibn Khusayama are also given that he never met a person who would remember more hadiths than the imam al-Bukhari, or a person who would be more aware of hadiths than he. At-Tirmizi held the same opinion, who mentioned that he did not meet a person who knew a story better than Imam al-Bukhari in Khorasan or Iraq, and he would have understood better in hadiths and insads and their shortcomings.
You can talk about each of these works for a long time. Since in those collections that were compiled by contemporaries of Muhammad al-Bukhari, along with reliable hadiths and weak, the imam of al-Bukhari decided to compile a collection of hadiths of the Sahih, which only had been reliable hadiths. Mohammed al-Bukhari remembered the intention of Sheikh Iskhak Bin Rakhavayha to collect only reliable hadiths in one set and prompted his students to this, mentioning that it would be a wonderful act to do this.
Mindful of these words of Sheikh, the imam of Bukhari decided to assemble the "sahih" and began to collect materials for him. The collection of Hadis Al-Bukhari, as a result of these reasons, Imam al-Bukhari began to compile labor, which was destined to become his best creation. The collection of Hadis "Sahih" put its author in the highest place among the scientists, and also became the most important phenomenon for the entire religion of Islam.In the course of work on Sahikh, Imam al-Bukhari, almost six hundred thousand hadiths were checked, who were in use at that time.
He analyzed all this huge material and selected in his collection of them. He reacted responsibly and carefully to the task that he set for himself, adhering to the most stringent and high criteria for checking and selection. Work on this collection continued for many years, the author developed several methods in the course of work, using which he was able to put all the work that he did to collect the hadiths and their systematization on the scientific basis.
Isnad became his main method: he was engaged in the establishment of a chain of transmitters of a certain hadith method from the latter to the first transmitter. He paid the main attention to establishing the persons who served the source for transmission, and he also listed the persons who recorded the hadith and handed it on. The scientist paid much attention to what the moral appearance of people who were transmitters.
If the hadith came from a person that was connected with some unseemly affairs, then this hadith was excluded from among reliable hadiths. On the initiative of the Ibrahim Bin Abdulaziz Al Ibrahim charity foundation, in the two thousandth year, a two-volume man of Sahih al-Bukhari was released in Russian in a brief presentation, and three years later in the Ummahi publishing house, the Sahih al-Bukhari Mukhtasar book was a full version.
And after many years, this work still has a high and unconditional value. Muhammad Al Bukhari worked on the creation of this book for a long sixteen years. Al-Bukhari devoted his whole life to Imam to worship and science. According to him, he had never bought anything at Dirham in his entire life and did not sell anything at Dirham, and when he needed to buy bread, he entrusted someone to someone, and for him they bought it.
He was an extremely scourge, but bold and generous, pious and detached from the earthly world. All his life he strove for the eternal world. He was a man with self -esteem. But al-Bukhari handed over to the messenger that he does not humiliate knowledge and does not cause them to the doors of people, and if the ruler needs knowledge, he himself must come to his mosque or his house.
Muhammad al-Bukhari traveled a lot of travel in the Middle and Middle East, collecting hadiths, and as a result met in various cities and villages with more than a thousand Khadisucchers-shoikhs. Testing the name of Muhammad al-Bukhari was often connected with conspiracies and unrest, the victims of which he became. Several times for this reason he was expelled from his city.
Once this happened when at one of the meetings he was asked if Allah was created. Despite the fact that Muhammad al-Bukhari tried to avoid a direct answer to this question, the questioner insisted that he answer, and then Muhammad al-Bukhari said that Allah was not created, but man’s actions were created. Without understanding to the end of what the imam had in mind, he was accused of introducing innovations.
Another time, he was expelled in the last years of his life because he once refused to teach the children of Khalid Az-Zaul, who was then the emir of Bukhara. Then the emir began to know certain people to respond to the beliefs of Muhammad al-Bukhari badly, and as a result, Imam was forced to leave Bukhara for the fourth time, going to the Hajabad, who was then called Hatang, to his relatives.
At the sunset of life in his last years, he moved to live in Hartank. This village was not far from Samarkand. The death of Imam Muhammad Bin Ismail al-Bukhari was interrupted at night in the year of Hijra after the evening prayer on the night of the holiday of the conversation. The next day, a memorial prayer was committed on it. At that time he was sixty years old. The achievements in the Hadis methodology Imam al-Bukhari became a leading developer and those who applied the principles in their work, which made the possibility of classifying hadiths, given their belonging to the source.
He is one of the founders of the typology of their division into rejected and acceptable, and also developed a system of reasons why certain hadiths were rejected. The Titanic work he had done by their criticism and selection led to brilliant results. Of the six hundred thousand hadiths who were known to al-Bukhari, he included only about one percent of the hadiths among the reliable, that is, seven two hundred seventy-five, but these hadiths came from such sources that actually entered into a dialogue with the Prophet Muhammad personally.
Why study the hadiths? But it is important in this matter to pay special attention to several of the most fundamental moments. It is stated in hadiths that deserve confidence and are repeatedly checked. Thanks to the Hadi Sunnah, people have the largest amount of information reliable in comparison with information about other prophets. When familiarizing with the hadiths, a special approach is needed.For Muslims, the Sunnah is in all their worldly and religious affairs by the direct guide to action, which suggests that in the Sunn everything is important and there is nothing insignificant, which could not attach importance.
Sunnah had a long and deep influence on entire nations that confess Islam, therefore, in order to understand the logic and psychology of the behavior of a Muslim, all the factors that influenced the formation of the personality of the Muslim should be taken into account, and in this matter the influence and significance of Sunna and the Qur'an cannot be doubtful.
The legacy of Bukhari Bukhara, Uzbekistan Imam belongs to the words that the Koran is the word of Allah, and religion - words and deeds, and, according to him, for all the time when he met with scientists in Egypt, Sham or Hijaz, of which there were more than a thousand, not a single scientist met him who would diverge in this statement. In the history of Islam and the memory of the Muslim community, Imam al-Bukhari remained as a worthy man, writer, Fakim, Muhaddis and theologian, who possessed an amazing memory and left behind a significant heritage.
In the Soviet years, the name of al-Bukhari, as a great theologian and thinker, was undergoing undeserved oblivion, but after Uzbekistan gained independence, the memory of Muhammad al-Bukhari over the years began to restore so that the descendants could know his name and his merits. In memory of the great scientist in Hartang, a memorial complex was erected, which included a mosque, mausoleum, madrassas and a library.
Today, Muslims of the whole world know the name of Imam al-Bukhari and give tribute to his memory as one of the great Muslim scientists, thinkers and writers, a person who has incomparable virtues and amazing abilities, who was an example of a true Muslim who devoted his life to the study of the hadiths and the worship of Allah Almighty. Hadis scholars of the whole world and in this year rely in their studies on his work, which occupied the first honorable place in a number of hadith collections and are an example of truth and reliability.
The judgment of the reliability or weakness of the hadith comes after a long study, which takes place in two stages. The first stage: the search for the places where the hadith is mentioned, in all, if possible, the books of the Sunnah, the collection of chains of the transmitters by which this hadith reached, the allocation of the intersection and discrepancy in these chains, and after that, the definition and highlight of the chain to which this tradition is returned, for the transition to the second stage.
The second stage: the study of the chain of transmitters of the legend, or different chains of the transmitters of the hadith; The study is very detailed, covering all sides of the transmitters chains, which may affect the judgment on the reliability or weakness of the hadith. So we get a lot of similar hadiths or all the hadiths are different. The hadith, in the text of which the words of the Prophet are given, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, or reports on his actions.
The hadith, in the text of which the words of one of the associates of the prophet are given, or reports about his actions. The hadith, in the text of which the words of one of the followers are given, or reports about his actions. As for the hadith, he indicates that the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, could forget what was already handed over to people from the Holy Quran.
Thus, the Qur'an is stored in the hearts of believers, the minds of scientists and in the scrolls of the Qur'an, and Muslims constantly read it so as not to forget it.
