Abu Abdullah Al-Bukhari
1:00
Muhammad bin Ismail bin Ibrahim bin Al-Mughira bin Bardzbah
1:05
Bardzba is a Bukharian word meaning farmers
1:10
His grandfather, Al-Mughira, converted to Islam at the hands of Al-Yaman Al-Jaafi, the governor of Bukhara
1:15
His father, Ismail bin Ibrahim, sought knowledge
1:19
Ishaq bin Ahmed bin Khalaf said
1:22
I heard Bukhari saying
1:24
My father heard from Malik bin Anas
1:27
He saw Hammad bin Zaid
1:29
Bin Al-Mubarak shook hands with both hands
1:32
Abu Abdullah was born in Shawwal in the year one hundred and ninety-four
1:37
Ibn Abi Hatim said
1:39
I told Abu Abdullah
1:41
How did you start your order?
1:43
He said
1:44
I was inspired to memorize the hadith while I was in the book
1:48
I said how old were you?
1:50
And he said
1:51
Ten years or less
1:54
Then I left the book after ten days
1:58
So I started to go internally and elsewhere
2:01
The insider said one day
2:04
Sufyan told us, on the authority of Abu Al-Zubayr, on the authority of Ibrahim
2:08
So I told him
2:09
Abu Al-Zubair did not narrate on the authority of Ibrahim
2:12
So he rebuked me
2:14
So I told him
2:15
Return to the original
2:17
So he went in and looked at it
2:19
Then he came out and told me
2:21
How is he, boy?
2:23
I said
2:24
He is Al-Zubayr bin Adi on the authority of Ibrahim
2:27
He said you are right
2:29
It was said to Al-Bukhari
2:31
How old were you when you responded to him?
2:34
And he said
2:35
Eleven years old
2:38
He said
2:39
When she was stabbed at sixteen years old
2:42
I had memorized the books of Ibn al-Mubarak and Waki`
2:46
I knew what these people said
2:48
Then I went out with my mother and my brother Ahmed to Mecca
2:52
When I performed Hajj
2:54
My brother came back with my mother
2:56
I fell behind in asking to talk
3:01
He mentioned naming his sheikhs and companions
3:05
Al-Bukhari heard about Bukhara before he set off
3:09
From Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Abdullah Al-Jaafi
3:13
And Muhammad bin Salam Al-Bikandi
3:16
And he is not one of his senior sheikhs
3:19
Then he heard about Balkh from Makki bin Ibrahim
3:23
He is one of the relatives of his sheikhs
3:25
and Benisapur from Yahya bin Yahya and a group
3:29
And in Baghdad
3:31
He came to Iraq in the last year two hundred and ten
3:34
From Muhammad bin Issa bin Al-Tabbaa
3:37
And Sareej bin Al-Numan and Affan
3:41
And in Basra from Abu Asim Al-Nabil and Al-Ansari
3:45
Hajjaj bin Minhal and several others
3:48
And in Kufa from Ubaid Allah bin Musa and Abu Naim
3:52
Khalid bin Mukhlid and Talq bin Ghannam
3:55
And in Mecca from Hassan bin Hassan n Al-Basri
3:59
And Abu Al-Walid Al-Azraqi and Al-Hamidi
4:02
And in the city from Abdul Aziz Al-Owaisi
4:05
And Ayoub bin Suleiman bin Bilal
4:08
And Ismail bin Abi Uwais
4:11
And in Egypt, Saeed bin Abi Maryam
4:14
And Abdullah bin Youssef
4:16
And dye and kit
4:18
And in the Levant, Abi Aleman
4:21
And Adam bin Abi Iyas
4:23
And Ali bin Ayyash
4:25
He heard from Abu Al-Mughirah Abdul Quddus
4:28
And Ahmed bin Khaled Al-Wahbi
4:31
And Muhammad bin Youssef Al-Faryabi
4:34
My father stayed up and my mother was someone else
4:37
Muhammad ibn Abi Hatim said and narrated it
4:40
I heard him say
4:42
I entered Balkh
4:44
They asked me to dictate to everyone I had recently written about
4:49
So I dictated a thousand hadiths to a thousand men about whom I wrote
4:54
He said, and I heard him say a month before his death
4:59
I wrote about one thousand and eighty men
5:02
There is only one of them who has hadith
5:05
They were all saying
5:07
Faith is word and action that increases and decreases
5:12
He said: I heard Al-Bukhari saying
5:15
I entered Baghdad the last eight times
5:18
In all of this, I sit with Ahmed bin Hanbal
5:22
He said to me at the last time I said goodbye
5:25
O Abu Abdullah
5:27
You invite knowledge and people and go to Khorasan
5:31
Many people narrated about him
5:34
Among them is Abu Issa al-Tirmidhi
5:36
And Abu Hatem
5:37
And Ibrahim Al-Harbi
5:39
And the son of my father the world
5:41
And Ibn Abi Asim
5:42
And Ibn Khuzaymah
5:44
And Muhammad bin Youssef Al-Farbari
5:46
The correct narrator
5:48
And countless nations
5:50
Muslim narrated from him in an incorrect way
5:53
Our Sheikh Abu Al-Hajjaj Al-Mizzi arranged it
5:57
Al-Bukhari’s sheikhs and companions follow the dictionary as usual
6:01
He mentioned some of them
6:03
He mentioned his journey, his requests, and his classifications
6:11
Muhammad bin Abi Hatem said
6:13
I heard Abu Abdullah
6:15
Muhammad bin Ismail Al-Bukhari says:
6:18
Me, my brother, and my mother performed Hajj
6:21
My brother came back with my mother
6:23
I fell behind in asking to talk
6:26
When she was stabbed at eighteen
6:29
I began to classify the issues of the Companions and Followers and give strength to them
6:34
It was classified as a history book
6:36
Then, at the grave of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
6:40
On moonlit nights
6:42
And say a name in history
6:44
Except he has a story
6:46
However, I hated the length of the book
6:49
I used to go to the jurists in Marwa when I was a boy
6:53
If I come, I will be ashamed to greet them
6:57
A polite person from her family told me
7:00
How much did you write today?
7:02
So I said two
7:04
I wanted to do two things with that
7:06
Those who attended the council laughed
7:09
An old man among them said
7:11
Don't laugh
7:12
Maybe he will laugh at you one day
7:15
I entered Al-Humaidi’s house when I was eighteen years old
7:20
There was a difference between him and another man in a hadith
7:24
When he saw Al-Hamidi, he said:
7:27
Someone has come to separate us
7:30
So they offered to me
7:31
So I ruled for Al-Humaidi against anyone who disagreed with him
7:35
Abu Bakr Al-Ayn said
7:37
We came to Bukhari and wrote about it
7:40
There is not a hair on his face
7:42
And we told him
7:44
Son, how much are you?
7:45
He said
7:46
Seventeen years old
7:49
Al-Bukhari said
7:50
If you write about a man
7:53
I asked him about his name and surname
7:55
And his lineage and the hadith
7:58
If the man understands
8:00
If not understanding
8:02
I asked him to come up with his origin
8:05
Al-Abbas Al-Duri said
8:07
I have not seen anyone who is good at asking for a hadith
8:10
Like Muhammad bin Ismail
8:12
He did not leave any root or branch
8:15
Except a castle
8:17
Al-Bukhari said
8:18
I was with Ishaq bin Rahwi
8:21
Some of our companions said:
8:23
If you compiled a short book
8:26
To the Sunnah of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
8:29
This struck my heart
8:31
So I started collecting this book
8:34
Al-Farbari said
8:36
Muhammad bin Ismail Al-Bukhari told me
8:39
What was recently put in the Sahih Book
8:42
Unless you wash before that
8:45
I prayed two rak'ahs
8:47
Ibrahim bin Maqil said
8:49
I heard Bukhari say
8:52
What I included in this book
8:54
Except what is true
8:56
I left some of the sahih behind
8:58
So that the book is not long
9:00
Muhammad bin Youssef said
9:02
I was with Muhammad bin Ismail Al-Bukhari
9:05
At his house one night
9:07
I noticed that he got up and saddled
9:10
He remembers things that stick to him
9:13
Eighteen times a night
9:16
Muhammad bin Abi Hat from Al-Warraq said
9:20
It was Abu Abdullah
9:22
If you are traveling with him
9:24
We have one house together
9:26
I saw him getting up in one night
9:29
Fifteen to twenty times
9:33
In all of this he takes the lighter
9:36
Fury Nara and saddles
9:38
Then he produces hadiths and teaches them
9:42
Al-Bukhari said
9:44
It was classified as correct in sixteen years
9:47
I made it an argument between me and God Almighty
9:52
Al-Najm bin Al-Fadhil said
9:54
I saw the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
9:57
In sleep it is as if he is walking
9:59
Muhammad bin Ismail walks behind him
10:02
Whenever the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, was raised
10:05
Presented by Muhammad bin Ismail Al-Bukhari
10:09
His foot was in the place where the Prophet was raised
10:12
May God bless him and grant him peace
10:15
He mentioned his memorization, breadth of knowledge, and intelligence
10:22
Abdul Rahman bin Muhammad Al-Bukhari said
10:26
I heard Muhammad bin Ismail Al-Bukhari
10:29
He says I found more than a thousand men
10:33
From the people of Hijaz, Iraq, the Levant and Egypt
10:37
I found them balls
10:39
The people of the Levant, Egypt and the Peninsula twice
10:42
And the people of Basra four times
10:45
And in Hijaz, six years
10:48
I cannot count how many people entered Kufa and Baghdad
10:51
Then he said
10:53
I have not seen any of them differ in these matters
10:57
Religion is word and deed
11:00
And the Qur’an is the word of God
11:03
Muhammad bin Abi Hat from Al-Warraq
11:06
I heard Hashid bin Ismail and another say
11:10
Abu Abdullah Al-Bukhari was coming with us
11:13
To the sheikhs of Basra while he was a boy
11:16
So he does not write
11:18
Until days passed
11:21
We used to tell him
11:23
You come with us and don't write
11:26
So what do you do?
11:28
He told us one day after sixteen days
11:31
You have both insisted and insisted on me
11:35
So they showed me what you wrote
11:38
So we brought out to him what we had
11:41
He read it all by heart
11:44
Then he said
11:46
You see that I disagree and waste my days
11:50
So we knew that no one would precede him
11:53
He said
11:55
And I heard them say
11:57
The people of knowledge were Basran
12:00
They would run after him asking to speak while he was young
12:03
Until they defeat him
12:06
And they make him sit in some way
12:09
Thousands of people gather around him
12:11
Most of them are written about
12:13
He was a young man with no facial hair
12:17
Abu Ahmed Abdullah bin Adi Al-Hafiz said
12:21
I heard several sheikhs talking
12:24
Muhammad bin Ismail al-Bukhari came to Baghdad
12:28
So the hadith scholars heard about it
12:31
So they gathered and prepared one hundred hadiths
12:34
So they changed its text and its chains of transmission
12:37
They made the text of this attribution for this
12:40
Attributing this text to this
12:43
They gave each one ten hadiths
12:46
Let them present it to Al-Bukhari in the council
12:49
So the people gathered
12:51
Someone was assigned
12:53
He asked Al-Bukhari about a hadith from his family
12:56
He said I don't know him
12:59
He asked him about another
13:01
He said I don't know him
13:03
And so on until he finished his family
13:06
The jurists turned to each other
13:09
They say the man understands
13:12
Whoever did not know, Al-Bukhari was judged incapacitated
13:17
Then another was appointed
13:19
So he did as the first one did
13:21
Al-Bukhari says I do not know him
13:24
Then the third
13:26
And until ten o'clock
13:28
He does not add them to what I do not know
13:31
When he knew that they had finished
13:34
He turned to the first of them and said
13:37
As for your first speech, it is like this
13:39
The second is like this
13:41
And the third is like this
13:43
To ten
13:45
Individual each text with its chain of transmission
13:47
And he did the same to others
13:50
So the people gave him praise
13:53
And Muhammad bin Khamir and him
13:55
I heard Muhammad bin Ismail Al-Bukhari say
13:59
I memorized one hundred thousand authentic hadiths
14:02
I memorized two hundred thousand incorrect hadiths
14:09
He mentioned the imams’ praise of him
14:12
Salim bin Mujahid said
14:15
I entered the house of Muhammad bin Salam Al-Bikandi
14:18
And he said
14:20
If you came before
14:21
I would have seen a boy memorizing seventy thousand hadiths
14:25
He said
14:26
So I went out in search of him until I caught up with him
14:29
So I told him
14:30
You are who you say
14:32
I memorize seventy thousand hadiths
14:35
He said yes and more
14:37
I will not bring you a hadith from the Companions and Followers
14:41
Unless I made you aware of the births, deaths, and homes of most of them
14:47
Yahya bin Jaafar said
14:49
He is a bikini
14:51
I was able to increase the lifespan of Muhammad bin Ismail Al-Bukhari from my age, so I did so
14:57
My death will be the death of one man
15:00
And his death is the loss of knowledge
15:03
Qutaybah was asked about divorcing a drunkard
15:06
He said to the questioner
15:08
This is Ahmed bin Hanbal
15:10
Ibn Al-Madini and Ibn Rahawayh
15:13
God has led them to you
15:15
He referred to Muhammad bin Ismail Al-Bukhari
15:19
Naeem bin Hammad said
15:22
Muhammad bin Ismail, the jurist of this nation
15:25
Al-Farbari said
15:27
I heard Bukhari say
15:29
I did not confine myself to anyone
15:32
Except for Ali bin Al-Madini
15:35
Ahmed bin Abdul Salam said
15:37
We mentioned the words of Muhammad bin Ismail Al-Bukhari
15:40
Perhaps Ali bin Al-Madini
15:43
I mean, he said it
15:47
Ali bin Al-Madini said, “Leave this man, for Muhammad bin Ismail has never seen someone like himself.”
15:55
Omar bin Ali Al-Falas said that a hadith that Muhammad bin Ismail does not know is not a hadith
16:03
Ali bin Hajar said: Khorasan produced three people: Abu Zar’ah and Muhammad bin Ismail al-Bukhari
16:13
And Abdullah bin Abdul Rahman Al-Darimi and Muhammad bin Ismail are with me the most insightful, most knowledgeable, and most understanding of them.
16:22
Abdullah bin Ahmad bin Hanbal said: I heard my father say: Khurasan has not produced anything like Muhammad bin Ismail
16:31
Mahmoud bin Al-Nazar Al-Shafi’i said: “I entered Basra, the Levant, Hijaz, and Kufa
16:39
I saw its scholars whenever Muhammad bin Ismail was mentioned, they preferred him over themselves
16:47
Muhammad bin Bashar, the protector of the world, said: There are four Abu Zar’ah in Al-Ray and Al-Darami in Samarkant
16:56
Muhammad bin Ismail in Bukhara and Muslim bin Yasabur
17:02
Abdullah bin Ahmad bin Hanbal said: I heard my father say that the memorization ended with four people from Khorasan
17:12
Abu Zar’ah Al-Razi, Muhammad bin Ismail Al-Bukhari, and Abdullah bin Abdul-Rahman Al-Samarqandi
17:20
And Al-Hasan bin Shuja’ Al-Balkhi. Ibn Al-Ash’ath said, “I told this to Muhammad bin Aqeel Al-Balkhi.”
17:29
He complimented the mention of Ibn Shuja’, so I told him that because he was not famous, he said that he did not enjoy his life
17:38
Abdullah bin Abdul Rahman Al-Darimi Muhammad said, meaning Al-Bukhari, the most skilled of God’s creation
17:47
He understood from God what He commanded and forbade in His Book and on the tongue of His Prophet
17:54
If Muhammad recites the Qur’an, he engages his heart, sight, and hearing, thinks about its likes, and knows what is permissible and what is forbidden.
18:05
Qutaybah said, “If Muhammad bin Ismail had been among the Companions, he would have been a sign.”
18:12
Qutaybah was asked about Muhammad bin Ismail al-Bukhari, so he lowered his head and then raised it to the sky
18:21
I looked into the hadith, I looked into the opinion, and I sat down with the jurists, the ascetics, and the worshipers
18:28
I have not seen anything like Muhammad bin Ismail since I became wise
18:33
Ibn Khuzaymah said: “I have not seen anything under the sky that is more knowledgeable about the hadith of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace.”
18:41
And I memorized it from Muhammad bin Ismail
18:45
Muhammad bin Yaqoub Al-Hafiz said: I heard my father saying: I saw Muslim bin Al-Hajjaj
18:53
The author of Sahih is in the hands of Al-Bukhari, asking him the boy’s question
18:59
Abu Hamid Ahmed bin Hamdoun Al-Qassar said: Muslim bin Al-Hajjaj came to Al-Bukhari
19:06
He kissed him between the eyes and said, “Let me kiss your feet, Professor of Professors.”
19:13
The master of hadith scholars and the doctor of hadith
19:17
Al-Tirmidhi said: I did not see it in Iraq or Khurasan
19:22
In the meaning of reasons, history, and knowledge of chains of transmission, he is more knowledgeable than Muhammad bin Ismail
19:29
He mentioned his worship, virtue, piety, and righteousness
19:39
Musabah bin Saeed said: Muhammad bin Ismail used to complete his seal during Ramadan during the day
19:47
After Tarawih, he completes it every three nights
19:52
Bakr bin Munir said: I heard Abu Abdullah Al-Bukhari say:
19:58
I hope to meet God and not hold me accountable if I backbite anyone
20:03
I said he was right, may God have mercy on him, and whoever looked at his words in wounds and amendments
20:09
He knew that he was good at speaking to people, even if he was fair about those who made him weak
20:15
For most of what the deniers of hadith say, they remain silent about it, and so on
20:24
It is rare for someone to say that he is a liar or to fabricate a hadith
20:29
He even said, “If so-and-so said that he looked at his speech, then he is a weak accused.”
20:37
This is the meaning of his saying: God will not hold me accountable if I backbite anyone
20:43
This, by God, is the utmost piety, said Muhammad bin Abi Hat from Al-Warraq
20:50
Abu Abdullah, meaning Al-Bukhari, used to pray thirteen rak’ahs during dawn
20:57
He did not wake me up in everything he did, so I said, “I see you are carrying yourself and you did not wake me up.”
21:05
I mean, why didn't you wake me up so I could serve you by bringing ablution water and something like that?
21:11
He said: You are young and I do not want to spoil your sleep
21:17
He said, “One day I had a lot of conversation, so my mullahs were afraid and said, ‘Take care of yourself.’”
21:26
The people of the amusement parks are in their amusement parks, and the people of the industries are in their industries
21:32
And trade in their trades while you are with the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and his companions
21:39
Muhammad bin Abi Hatim said: Muhammad bin Ismail al-Bukhari was invited to the garden of some of his companions
21:48
When he led the people in the noon prayer, he stood up and volunteered, and when he finished his prayer, he raised the tail of his shirt
21:57
He said to some of those with him, “Look, do you see anything under my shirt?”
22:03
Then a wasp stung him, meaning his body swelled as a result
22:10
Some of the people said to him, “How come you did not stop praying the first time I was blessed?”
22:16
He said: I was reciting a surah and I wanted to complete it
22:22
Abdullah bin Saeed said: I heard the scholars in Basra say:
22:28
In this world, he is like Muhammad bin Ismail in knowledge and righteousness
22:33
Muhammad bin Abi Hatim said: I heard Al-Bukhari saying:
22:38
I have never eaten leeks ever since
22:43
He said, “I hate to harm those with me.” I said, “The same applies to raw onions.”
22:50
He said yes
22:52
Muhammad bin Al-Abbas Al-Farbari said
22:55
I was sitting with Al-Bukhari in the mosque, and I picked some dirt from his beard, like corn
23:02
So I wanted to throw it in the mosque, and he said, throw it outside the mosque
23:09
He mentioned his generosity, tolerance, character, and so on
23:17
Muhammad bin Abi Hatim said that he had a piece of land that he leased every year for seven hundred dirhams
23:26
That maktari might have carried one or two cucumbers of it to Abu Abdullah
23:34
Because Abu Abdullah admired ripe cucumbers
23:38
He used to give the man one hundred dirhams every year for carrying cucumbers to him sometimes
23:46
He said, “We were in Farbar.”
23:49
Abu Abdullah was building a ribat next to Bukhara
23:54
Many people gathered to help him with this, and he conveyed the core information
24:00
I used to tell him that you are enough, Abu Abdullah
24:05
He says: This is what benefits us
24:09
Then he started transporting the springs with him
24:12
And the springs, meaning the springs, are the containers in which the dirt and the remains of digging and construction are collected
24:19
A cow was slaughtered for them
24:22
When the pots reached maturity, he invited the people to eat
24:28
We had brought out bread with it and placed it in their hands
24:33
Everyone who attended ate, and there were good loaves left over
24:38
He said that Abu Abdullah might have the day
24:44
Do not eat a chip in it
24:47
Sometimes he ate two or three almonds
24:51
He said he gave a lot in charity
24:55
He takes with his hand the person in need from the scholars of hadith
24:59
He gives him between twenty and thirty
25:02
Less and more without anyone realizing it
25:07
And his bag never left him
25:10
I saw him giving food to a man several times
25:13
A package containing three hundred dirhams
25:16
This is because the man told me the number of what was there after
25:21
So he wanted to pray for him
25:23
Abu Abdullah said to him, “Be gentle.”
25:27
He occupied himself with another hadith so that no one would know about it
25:33
Al-Hassan bin Al-Hussein Al-Bazzaz said
25:36
I saw Muhammad bin Ismail
25:39
A thin old man
25:41
Not long nor short
25:46
He mentioned his death
25:48
Abdul Quddus bin Abdul Jabbar Al-Samarqandi said
25:52
Muhammad bin Ismail came to Khartanak
25:55
It is a village on Faras Khin, near Samarkand
25:59
He was closer to her
26:02
So he stayed with them
26:04
One night I heard him supplicating after he had finished the night prayer
26:08
Oh God, the earth has narrowed what it welcomed
26:13
So take me to you
26:15
The month passed until he died
26:18
And his grave is in your grave
26:20
The reason for this was that he was plagued by the hostility of some of the people of his time towards him
26:26
In addition to him, Muhammad bin Yahya Al-Dhahli and some of his students
26:30
Then Khalid bin Ahmed, Emir of Bukhara, succeeded him
26:34
We tested until steam came out
26:37
So he went to Khartanak distressed
26:40
On the outskirts of Samarkand
26:42
He died there
26:44
Al-Hassan bin Al-Hussein Al-Bazzaz said
26:47
Bukhari died on Saturday night
26:50
Night of Fitr
26:52
Year 56 and 100
26:55
He lived between 62 and 60 years
26:58
Only 13 days
27:01
Book owners drive Saturday
27:20
So Shagout turned, then turned into a smile
27:29
You were relieved and then you became miserable
27:35
Sometimes he was proud of Ahmed's Sunnah
27:41
We get along easily with each other
27:47
Read: I have made sacrifices for you, and I wish I could
27:53
Either I read all your voice as a minaret
27:59
I joined my veins to the hadith and its people
28:05
So open your cup and give me water to drink
28:11
It is said that he said, “And we seek refuge in our accident.”
28:17
And the collections of speech, eloquence, and eloquence
28:23
His saying, “Peace be upon him,” is awe-inspiring
28:29
And to say above the Sultanate
28:35
And on it is a gently moving light
28:41
So it flows into my soul and it remains a place
