Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal (Rahimahullah) Ki Zindagi Kay Sunehray Waqiyat

Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal Ki Zindagi Kay Sunehray Waqiyat (also written "sunehre waqiat") is an Urdu biography of Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal, written by Abdul Malik Mujahid. It's part of Darussalam's "Ki Zindagi Kay Sunehray Waqiyat" series, which retells the lives of great figures in Islamic history for Urdu-reading audiences.

Who Was Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal?

Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal (164-241 AH / 780-855 CE) was a scholar of Baghdad and the founder of the Hanbali school of Islamic jurisprudence, one of the four major Sunni madhhabs. He compiled the Musnad, a collection of tens of thousands of hadith organized by narrator. He's remembered above all for the Mihna, the Abbasid-era inquisition in which he was imprisoned and flogged for refusing to affirm that the Qur'an was created, a position later Sunni orthodoxy sided against him on. His steadfastness under that pressure is the reason his name still carries weight in Islamic scholarship.
