Abstract
Description
Abu Hafs al-Nasafi was one of the leading scholars of hadith in his time. He interacted with the leading muhaddiths of Mawarannahr and learned from them. The scholar, according to his testimony, narrated hadiths from 550 sheikhs. He listed his sheikhs one by one in “Ti'dad ash-shuyukh li-'Umar mustatrif 'ala-l-hurufmustatir” (The Number of Umar's Teachers in Alphabetical Order). Unfortunately, this work, narrated by many authors, has not reached us.
