Summary
Imam al-Hakim was Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Abdillah al-Naisaburi, a hadith scholar born in 321 AH and died in 405 AH. He studied under many scholars and wrote several works, including al-Mustadrak, which gathers hadiths meeting the conditions of al-Bukhari and Muslim that are not included in the two Sahihs. The work was criticised by al-Malini and al-Dhahabi for classing many weak hadiths as authentic, while Ibn Hajar defended it as an early draft the author died before revising. The article concludes that his contribution was great and his works remain a reference.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, Imam al-Hakim merupakan salah seorang tokoh hadis yang telah banyak menyumbang dan sumbangannya begitu besar di dalam ilmu hadis.
