Ahmad ibn Hanbal (d. 241/855), renowned for his profound knowledge
of hadith-the reports of the Prophet's sayings and deeds-is a major
figure in the history of Islam. Ibn Hanbal's piety and austerity
made him a folk hero, especially after his principled resistance to
the attempts of two Abbasid caliphs to force him to accept
rationalist doctrine. His subsequent imprisonment and flogging
became one of the most dramatic episodes of medieval Islamic
history. Ibn Hanbal's resistance influenced the course of Islamic
law, the rise of Sunnism, and the legislative authority of the
caliphate. Virtues of the Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal is a translation of
the biography of Ibn Hanbal penned by the Baghdad preacher,
scholar, and storyteller, Ibn al-Jawzi (d. 597/1201). It includes
insights into Ibn Hanbal's childhood, travels, and teachings, as
well as descriptions of his way of life. Volume One presents the
first half of the text, offering insights into Ibn Hanbal's
childhood, education, and adult life, including his religious
doctrines, his dealings with other scholars, and his personal
habits. Set against the background of fierce debates over the role
of reason and the basis of legitimate government, Virtues of the
Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal tells the formidable life tale of one of the
most influential Muslims in history. A bilingual Arabic-English
edition.
