| "The
muhaddith of Sham" – one of the last great memorisers of hadith. This
Hanafi master had a photographic memory and used it to his utmost
ability. He lived a life of ascetic worship and teaching,
with a handful of students receiving his full devotion. Buried in Bab al-Saghir, a modern mosque is erected next to his grave. With him is buried his son sheikh Yusuf al-Hsani (d. 1279 H), who succeded him as a head of Dar al-Hadith. References: Hanbali Text Society More: Biography and notes >> Pics >> |
