Brief introduction of his blessed father

The blessed father of Imam Bukhari رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was a great Islamic scholar. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه used to stay in the company of Imam Bukhari’s رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه teacher, Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Bin Mubarak رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was a narrator and the one who possessed the knowledge of Hadees. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah Bin Mubarak, Sayyiduna Imam Malik           رَحْمَۃُ اللّٰہ عَلَیْہما, their students and those who possessed the knowledge of Hadees in that era.

His Du’as were immensely accepted. To the extent that he would humbly present his plea in the Divine court of Allah Almighty saying that do not accept all my Du’as in this world, leave some for the Hereafter.  

He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was so firm on consuming ‘Halal that let alone something ‘Haraam, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would even abstain from suspicious things. To the extent that at the time of his apparent demise, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said: ‘Whatever wealth I possess, not even a single dirham of it is suspicious.’ Ref (Irshad Al Saari, Tarjama tul Imam Bukhari, vol. 1, pp. 55)
