2.   Ala Hazrat’s manner of reading, mentioning, memorising and conveying Ahadith.

3.   A’la Hazrat’s conduct in acting upon the Ahadith of the noble Prophet  صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم .

Let us listen to the biography of A’la Hazrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه whilst keeping in mind these three aspects.

1. Cognitive and technical expertise in the science of Hadith

The scholars who have studied the science of Hadith, understood the Ahadith, memorised them and attained proficiency in this have different ranks. Some are called muhaddith, others hafiz al-Hadith, some are called hujjah and others are known as shaykh al-Hadith. Some scholars are known as amir al-Mu’minin fil Hadith (leader of the faithful in Hadith). The scholar with the most proficiency in the science of Hadith amongst the scholars of his time is known as amir al-Mu’minin fil Hadith.  Just as our master, A’la Hazrat, the Imam of Ahl al-Sunnah  رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه , was the greatest mufti, mufassir, high-ranking Sufi, exalted scientist and expert mathematician, he was also amir al-Mu’minin fil Hadith.

The statement of Muhaddith Wasi Ahmad Surti رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه

‘Allamah Wasi Ahmad Surti رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه was a great muhaddith who was a contemporary of A’la Hazrat  رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه .  He was also a friend of Ala Hazrat  رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه .  He served the science of Hadith for 40 years and was such a proficient muhaddith that he had memorised Sahih al-Bukhari, the most relied upon book of Ahadith.

One of the students of Muhaddith Wasi Ahmad Surti رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه was Sayyid Muhammad Ashrafi Miyan Jilani  رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه , who later became a great muhaddith in his own right and became known as Muhaddith e A’zam Hind.
