Hafidh Abu Bakr bin Mahdhi...

Hafidh Abu Bakr bin Mahdhi, the Khateeb of Baghdad, was born on Thursay 27 Ziqaat 380 Hijri, concentrated on Din following the advice of his father and visited Basra, Kufa, Nishapur, Isfahaan, Hijaaz. He was taught by renowned names like Abu Naim writer of Hilayat al Auliya and Abu Saeed Makeeni, Abu Hasan bin Basher. Great Ulema like Ibne Makuula Muhaddith and Muhammad bin Marzook Zahfrani were his students. In Makka, Allamah Barsti taught him al-Bukhari in five days.

Ismail bin Ahmad Nishapuri, had three sitting with him. His memory and intelligence was unmatched. After inquiring knowledge he returned to Baghdad. He wrote 60 Books including Tarikhe Baghdad that is 14 Volumes. No one could narrate Hadith without his permission.

The Prophet was amongst those who listened to Baghdadi In Muftha Kanzul Dhurraya and Bistaan an Muhaditheen we read: Imam of Ahl ul Sunnah Makki al Raimali, states that I was in Baghdad when I saw myself in one of Baghdadis gatherings, to his right was Shaykh Nasr bin Ibrahim and on his right was another aged person.

I inquired as to who it was and was told that it was the Prophet who had come to hear Baghdadi Ahmad bin Hanbal condemned Imam Abu Hanifa In Ahlul Sunnahs recognised Imam Fakhradin Radhi, writes as follows: "Imam Ahmad Hanbal was asked about Imam Malik. The reply his Hadith are correct but the narrators are weak. Then someone asked him about Imam Shaafi, the reply was his Hadith and opinion is correct.

Then someone asked about Imam Azam, he said Numan opinion is of no value, nor is his Hadith of any value. Bahiqi writes Imam Ahmad cautioned Imam Abu Hanifa because he would accept weak and fabricated Hadith.
