Commonly known as Ibn Hanbal, was the founder of the Hanbali Madhhab. Ibn Hanbal was born in Baghdad in November 780 CE. He belonged to the family of Shayban. Ibn Hanbal studied under various masters, and travelled extensively in order to study Hadith and Fiqh. In his youth, he studied Fiqh under Imam Abu Yusuf, and learnt Hadith from Hisham, Sufyan ibn Aina and others. He was particularly disposed towards the study of Hadith, so he went to Makkah, Yemen, etc. in order to hear Hadith from the Muhaddithin of those places.

After he returned home, he took lessons in Fiqh from Imam ash-Shafi’i. His understanding of religious matters was determined by the traditional views, but under the Caliphs al-Ma’mun, al-Mu’tasim and al-Wasiq, he was put under pressure to subscribe to the Mu’tazilite doctrine of the Quran being a ‘creation’ and not a ‘Wahy’ (Revelation). He refused to subscribe to this teaching, thus he and several other acclaimed theologians were subjected to persecution. Whilst he was being led in chains to the Caliph al-Ma’mun at Tarsus, news came of the Caliph’s death. Under the Caliph’s successor, he patiently submitted to corporal punishment and imprisonment.

Later, the Caliph al-Mutawakkil ordered a return to the orthodox beliefs, and Imam Ibn Hanbal’s torments ceased. Subsequently, he was honoured by the Caliph on several occasions and invited to the Court; a pension was even granted to his family without his knowledge. The fame of his learning, piety and justice caused a host of disciples and admirers to gather around him. In fact, he was more a Muhaddith than a jurist, but it is his fame as a jurist which has endured. Imam Ibn Hanbal died in Baghdad on 13 July 855 CE. It is said that eight hundred thousand men and sixty thousand women attended his funeral. He was buried in the Martyrs cemetery in the Harbiyah quarter of Baghdad.

Imam Ibn Hanbal was the last of the Four Imams of the Sunni Schools who, through his study of Fiqh and Hadith, contributed towards the body of legal knowledge in Islam. read more
