💠The I’tiqaad (belief) of Abu Abd-Allah Muhammad ibn Ismail Bukhari (imam Bukhari) 💢Part - 1
❖❐ Imam al-Lalika’i (d. 418H) said: "The I’tiqaad (creed) of Abu Abd-Allah Muhammad ibn Ismail Bukhari and the group from the Salaf about whom he narrates:
❖❐ Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Hafs al-Harwi said: Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Salamah narrated to us, saying: Abu'l-Husayn Muhammad ibn Imraan ibn Musa al-Jarjaani narrated to us saying: I heard Abu Muhammad Abdu'r-Rahman ibn Muhammad ibn Abdu'r-Rahman Bukhari from ash-Shaash saying: I heard Abu Abd-Allah Muhammad ibn Ismail Bukhari saying:
❖❐“I met more than a thousand men amongst the people of knowledge from the people of al-Hijaaz, al-Makkah, al-Madinah, al-Kufah, al-Basrah, Waasit, Baghdad, Shaam and Egypt. I met them numerous times, generation after generation and then generation after generation.
❖❐ I met them while they were ample and widespread for over forty-six years; the people of ash-Shaam, Egypt and al-Jazirah twice, (the people of) al-Basrah four times in a number of years. (Those of) al-Hijaaz (over a period) of six years and I cannot enumerate how many times I entered (upon the people of) al-Kufah and Baghdad along with the muhaddithun of Khurasan, amongst them:
❖❐ al-Makki ibn Ibrahim, Yahya ibn Yahya, Ali ibn al-Hasan ibn Shaqiq, Qutaibah ibn Sa’d and Shihaab ibn Ma’mar.
❖❐ And in ash-Shaam: Muhammad ibn Yusuf al-Firyaabi, Abu Mushir Abdu'l-Ala ibn Mushir, Abu'l-Mughirah Abdu'l-Quddus ibn al-Hajjaaj, Abu'l-Yamaan al-Hakam ibn Naafi and those who came after them, (I met them) numerous times.
❖❐ And in Egypt: Yahya ibn Kathir (or Yahya ibn Bukayr), Abu Salih the scribe of al-Layth ibn Sa’d, Sa’ed ibn Abi Maryam, Asbagh ibn al-Faraj and Nu’aym ibn Hammaad.
❖❐ And in Makkah: Abd-Allah ibn Zaid al-Muqri and al-Humaydi, Sulayman ibn Harb, the qadi of Makkah and Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Azraqi. And in al-Madinah: lsmail ibn Abi Uwais, Mutarrif ibn Abd-Allah, Abd-Allah ibn Naafi az-Zubairi, Ahmad ibn Abi Bakr Abu Mus’ab az-Zuhri, Ibrahim ibn Hamzah az-Zubairi and Ibrahim ibn al-Mundhir al-Hizami. And in al-Basrah:
❖❐ Abu Aasim ad-Dahhaak ibn Makhlad ash-Shaybaani, Abu'l-Walid Hishaam ibn Abdu'l-Malik, Hajjaaj ibn al-Minhaal and Ali ibn Abd-Allah ibn Ja’far al-Madini. And in al-Kufah: Abu Nu’aym al-Fadl ibn Dukayn, Ubayd-Allah ibn Musa, Ahmad ibn Yunus, Qabisah ibn Uqbah, Ibn Numayr, and Abd-Allah and Uthman, the two sons of Abu Shaybah.
❖❐ And in Baghdad: Ahmad ibn Hanbal, Yahya ibn Ma’in, Abu Ma’mar, Abu Khaithamah and Abu Ubaid al-Qaasim ibn Sallaam.
❖❐ And from the people of al-Jazirah: Amr ibn Khaalid al-Harrani. And in Waasit: Amr ibn Aun and Aasim ibn Ali ibn Aasim.
❖❐ And in Marw: Sadaqah ibn Fadl and Ishaq ibn Ibrahim al-Handhali.
❖❐ And we are content with the naming of these people (alone) so that (this discourse) may be brief and concise and that it may not be lengthened. And I never saw a single one amongst them differ with respect to the following matters:
❖❐ Speech and Action
❖❐ That the religion consists of (both) speech and action(‼️1‼️) and this is due to the saying of Allah (azza wajal):
❖❐"And they were commanded not but that they should worship Allah, and make their worship exclusively for Him alone, being Hunafaa (abstaining from ascribing partners to Him), and perform as-Salaah (Iqaamatu's-Salaah) and give Zakaah and that is the right religion."
[al-Bayyinah 98/5]
💢FN (‼️1‼️) The Murji’ah are a sect who uphold the belief of Irjaa (to hold that sins major or minor, do not affect faith and that faith neither increases nor decreases). The first to call to this belief was Ghilaan ibn Abi Ghilaan, the Qadariyy. He was executed in 105H. They claim that actions are not part of faith, that people do not vary in faith, that faith does not increase or decrease and that one should declare himself a believer without saying: ‘If Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) wills.’
♨️The Murji’ah are divided into three groups, as Shaykhu'l-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah has mentioned:
