23) Ibn Sa'd (رحمة اللہ علیه) said, "He grew up in Kufa and sought out knowledge and sought out hadeeth, and he heard directly a great deal. He sat with Imam Abu Hanifa (رحمة اللہ علیه) and heard from him, and looked into theoretical understanding (ra'y) and he mastered it, for which he became known and in which he was skillful. He came to Baghdad and resided there, and people resorted to him and heard hadeeth and his theoretical understanding from him."

Kitaabul Asl is a book of fiqh (jurisprudence) which was compiled by Imam Muhammad Ibn Hasan ash-Shaybaani (رحمه الله), the famous student of Imam Abu Hanifa (رحمه الله). Imam ash-Shaafi'ee (رحمه الله) memorised it from cover to cover and then wrote his magnum opus, Kitaabul Umm.

Imam ash-Shaafi'ee (رحمه الله) himself mentions, "I spent ten years in the company of Imam Muhammad (رحمه الله) and acquired knowledge from him equivalent to that of a camel-load."

A Jewish Rabbi, after studying the Kitaabul Asl of Imam Muhammad (رحمه الله), accepted Islaam with the proclamation, "If this is the book of your Junior Muhammad, what is there left to say about the book (Qur'an) of your senior Muhammad?" (i.e. Nabi صلى الله عليه وسلم). [Jawahir Pare, vol. 1, p 247; Bulooghul Amaani]

May Allaah (سبحانه و تعالى) be pleased with the tremendous contributions of our erudite scholars and luminaries in the field of fiqh. [Pearls from the Path, volume 3]

Muhammad Ibn Samma'ah رحمه الله narrates:

" 'Isa Ibn Aban رحمه الله (a famous Muhaddith and well-known Hanafi scholar) used to perform Salah with us (in the masjid where Imam Muhammad Ibnul Hasan رحمه الله - the student of Imam Abu Hanifah رحمه الله and the third highest authority in the Hanafi Madh-hab - used to perform Salah and thereafter have discussions on Fiq-h). I used to invite him to come to Muhammad Ibnul Hasan رحمه الله (to learn from him). He would say in reply: 'These are people who contradict Hadeeth.'

'Isa رحمه الله was a scholar who had memorised a substantial amount of Ahadeeth.

One morning he performed Fajr Salah with us, and it happened to be the very same day Imam Muhammad رحمه الله was going to conduct his discourse. I did not allow him to leave until he (also) sat in the gathering. At the close (of the discussion), I took him to Imam Muhammad رحمه الله and said: 'This is the son of your brother (in Islam) Aban Ibn Sadaqah رحمه الله, the scribe. He is brilliant, and has the knowledge of Hadeeth. I invited him to you but he refused saying that we contradict Hadeeth.'

Imam Muhammad رحمه الله addressed him and said: 'O my son! What do you see us contradicting in Hadeeth? Do not bear witness against us until you hear from us.'

So Imam 'Isa رحمه الله asked him questions relating to twenty-five chapters of Hadeeth, and in each chapter, Imam Muhammad رحمه الله answered (narrating to him the Ahadeeth of these subjects) and would inform him of all those Ahadeeth that have been abrogated, with proof and evidence.

After we left, 'Isa Ibn Aban رحمه الله turned to me and said: 'There was a barrier between myself and noor (divine light), which has now been lifted! I was not aware that there existed a man in Allaah's kingdom like this, who He has disclosed for the people.'

'Isa رحمه الله then accompanied Imam Muhammad رحمه الله and did not seperate from him, until he became a Faqeeh by him.'"

The above example draws a vivid picture of the difference between a Faqeeh and a Muhaddith. A Muhaddith preserves the Ahadeeth of the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم, and a Faqeeh extracts the Deen of Allaah سبحانه و تعالى from them. Thus, in practice, the Faqeeh ought to be followed. It is for this reason that Sufyan Ibn 'Uyaynah رحمه الله, an illustrious scholar of Hadeeth, used to say: "Submitting to the Fuqahaa' is safety in Deen."

Hafidh Ibn 'Abdul Barr رحمه الله wrote: "As for studying Hadeeth in the manner that students of today study it, without obtaining some knowledge of Fiqh and contemplating its meanings (properly), this is Makrooh according to a group of the 'Ulamaa'."

The difference between a Muhaddith and a Faqeeh has also been pointed out in the following Hadeeth:

Imam Tirmidhi رحمه الله reports from Sayyiduna Zaid Ibn Thabit رضى الله عنه that the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said (in his farewell sermon, in Hajjatul Widaa'): "May Allaah keep that person fresh and radiant who hears from us a statement and remembers it until he conveys it; as how many a carrier of Fiqh there is to one who has a greater understanding of Fiqh than him, and how many a carrier of Fiqh is not a Faqeeh."

The last two statements of this Hadeeth refer to a Muhaddith as he carries the knowledge of Hadeeth from which Fiqh is derived, and conveys it to the Faqeeh who then extracts its Fiqh from it.
