When Imam Al Bukhari’s Memorisation was tested

"On many occasions Bukhari's learning was put to severe tests, of a kind often favoured by rigorous scholars of the time, and he seems always to have emerged with credit. At Baghdad, ten traditionists changed the isnads and contents of a hundred hadiths, recited them to Bukhari at a public meeting, and asked him questions about them. Bukhari first confessed his ignorance of the traditions that they had recited. But then he recited the correct versions of all the traditions concerned, and said that probably his questioners had inadvertently recited them wrongly. At Samarqand, four hundred students tested Bukhari's knowledge in the same way, and Bukhari succeeded in exposing their interpolations. These repeated trials and triumphs of Bukhari won him recognition as the greatest traditionist of his time by all the major authorities with whom he came in contact, including Ahmad ibn Hanbal, 'Ali ibn al-Madeeni, Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah, Ishâq ibn Râhawayh, and others." irshad as sari vol1 p 36ff Video1:   • Mustalah Al-Hadith | Bayqooniyyah | Class ...   VIdeo2:   • حُفاظ الوحيين : طفل 11 سنه يحفظ القرآن الك...   #salafi #bukhari #amau #islam #quran #memorisation #salaf #salafiyyah
