Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Ismail al- Bukhari .
Al- Bukhari (810-870) - famous Sunni traditionalist . Born into a family of Iranian origin in Bukhara, died in the village of Hartanka (near Smarkand ). The abilities of the future hadith scholar manifested themselves at an early age. Already at the age of 6, he recited many suras of the Koran by heart . At the age of 16, he made a pilgrimage to Mecca with his mother and brother Ahmad. Remaining in Mecca, he studied hadith for 4 years under the guidance of the famous scholar of hadith scholar Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal , who at that time had a large list of 30 thousand hadiths.
Allah endowed him with a wonderful memory, which was noticeable already in childhood. Here is what contemporaries said: “In the city of Basra , Al- Bukhari , who was then a young man, visited with us various sheikhs who were experts in hadith, but did not write down anything. A few days later we began to say to him:“ You visit different sheikhs with us without writing anything down, but why do you do this?" Sixteen days later he told us: "Verily, you talk a lot and annoy me! Show me what you wrote down. "We took out our sheets, where more than fifteen thousand hadiths were written, and he began to recite all this by heart, and we even began to correct our notes in accordance with what he recited from memory. Then he asked: "Do you think that I visit different sheikhs for fun and waste my days?" After that, it became clear to us that no one could get ahead of him.
Another proof that Al- Bukhari had an excellent memory and was distinguished by absolute accuracy can be a message about how he once arrived in Samarkand , where he met with four hundred experts on hadith. They mixed the isnads (chain of transmitters) of hadiths from Sham and Iraq and the names of the transmitters, and then added the isnads of some hadiths to the texts of others, after which they read all this to Al- Bukhari . The Imam pointed out to which isnads the corresponding texts actually belong and put everything in proper order. After that, no one could find any inaccuracies in any isnad or text. Something similar happened when Al- Bukhari visited Baghdad . As soon as he read the book only once, he memorized its contents. Imam al- Bukhari traveled to many cities of the Near and Middle East in search of hadith. He collected hadiths from the words of more than a thousand sheikhs whom he met in different parts.
