Summary
Imam al-Bukhari was Muhammad bin Ismail bin Ibrahim al-Ju’fiy al-Bukhari, known as Abu Abdillah, born in Bukhara in 194 AH and died on the eve of Eid al-Fitr in 256 AH. He grew up an orphan raised by his mother, memorised hadith from a young age and travelled to seek knowledge. His standing was acknowledged by many scholars, including through a test by the hadith scholars of Baghdad, which he answered correctly. He produced a hadith work that the Muslim community has accepted to this day.
