Imam Ahmed bin Hanbal Bari [164 5 / 781 AD - 241 5 / 855 AD] Лос

In the history of Islam, the conquests of Iraq began at the hands of Al-Muthanna bin Haritha Al-Shaybani and on his initiative. Al-Muthanna is the originator of the Arab-Islamic character of Iraq. After the conquest of Iraq, Shayban continued its activity, and its members contributed to making many events, until the third century of migration came, in which Imam Ahmed Ibn Hanbal Shaibani. He, and then his followers, were the biggest contributors to making the history of Iraq, until the fall of Baghdad in the seventh century. Ahmed bin Hanbal was born in Baghdad, the city that was established with the establishment of the pillars of the Abbasid state, and the Abbasids wanted it to lead the Islamic world politically, economically, commercially, ideologically and intellectually. And they made an effort in this way, until they achieved the greatest successes, so Baghdad monopolized the reins of Islamic civilization. It is noticeable that the doctrine of Abu Hanifa originated in Kufa, but spread from Baghdad, and the retirement was in Basra first, but his fame flew from Baghdad and his role in it, and Al-Shafi’i spread his doctrine first also in Baghdad. In Baghdad, the great Islamic intellectual conflicts took place, especially the issue of the creation of the Noble Qur’an, and on the land of Baghdad, the battle was resolved after a long time in favor of the Islamic Sunnah, and this is what we see in the biography of Imam Ahmed bin Hanbal. their energy.
About the scholars of Baghdad Then Ibn Hanbal took care of the hadith in memorizing and writing down, so he took several scientific trips to Basra, Kufa, Hijaz and Yemen. In Baghdad, he took Abu Yusuf, the companion of Abu Hanifa, and in Mecca, he met for the first time with Imam al-Shafi’i. In Sana'a, it was taken from Abd al-Razzaq bin Hammam, the author of the workbook. Imam Ahmed wrote down the hadiths and narrations that he heard, so he modernized the writing, and his collection of the Sunnah of the Prophet enabled him to gain extensive knowledge about Sharia, and after he contacted Al-Shafi’i, he was influenced by his approach, so he used it and applied it to what he had, and so he turned to jurisprudence, and Ibn Hanbal had met Al-Shafi’i again in Iraq, so he needed his ring. About was an era

Ibn Hanbal lost his father shortly after his birth, so his mother raised him and directed him to knowledge, so he memorized the Noble Qur’an and studied Arabic, then he cared about studying the hadith and the legacy of the Companions and followers, as he knew the biography of the Prophet and the history of Islam. And self-made.

As mentioned above, al-Ma’mun took retirement as a doctrine of the state, and the issue of creating the Holy Qur’an was the most important slogan of retirement, and a great debate took place on this issue, which turned into verbal battles, and when these battles became widespread, the Abbasid authorities felt danger and fear from the opposition forces, so they resorted to oppression and abuse. And coercion instead of mental persuasion, and Al-Ma’mun got personally involved in this issue, and he gave it all his attention, and the concerns of politics and war did not distract him from it. The Holy Qur’an, they answered him after a pause, so he sent them back to Baghdad, and a deputy appeared
Baghdad, so he gathered all the scholars and hadith scholars who were there, and told them what the seven had said. On the way, Ibn Noah died, and Imam Ibn Hanbal alone surrendered the torment without mercy, so the believers stood firm, and Al-Ma’mun died before Ibn Hanbal reached him, but his policy did not die after him during the days of Al-Mu’tasim, so Ibn Hanbal was put in prison, and beaten with whips, and for twenty-eight months he did not die. Imam Ibn Hanbal was soft and did not budge from his position, until he was about to die, so he was released, so he joined his house and stayed with him until he was cured. And then he started talking and issuing fatwas again, and the people accepted him with an unparalleled turnout, and they were very impressed with him and appreciated his courage and faith. The Khilafah saw the danger still present, and saw that the imam's arrest again would lead to dire consequences. Therefore, the Caliph Al-Wathiq, who succeeded Al-Mu’tasim, resorted to banning the activity of the Imam, as he asked him to leave Baghdad, and to make the Imam go into hiding, and thus he remained. Until Al-Wathiq passed away and Al-Mutawakkil came, and the Sunnah was victorious after an ordeal that lasted fourteen years. The ordeal of saying that the Holy Qur’an was created was not the only ordeal in the life of Imam Ahmed, because he lived the ordeal of poverty and subsistence throughout his life, as he was rejecting the gifts of the rulers and the connections of the caliphs out of chastity, religiosity and asceticism, because asceticism was one of his characteristics, and his asceticism was accompanied by sincerity, and his sincerity is what with

His motivation is not only to persevere in times of adversity, but it is what distinguished him during his work as a student and then as an imam after that. In the field of scientific work, Ibn Hanbal possessed a strong and aware memorandum, and his contemporaries testified to that, and they also testified to his appearance, good manners, and the intensity of modesty
