The Mukhtasar of Imam Imam Abu'l-Husayn Ahmad Ibn Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Ibn Ja'far Ibn Hamdan al-Quduri al-Baghdadi - A Manual of Islamic Law according to the Hanafi School
The Mukhtasar Al-Quduri is one of the most celebrated and influential treatises in any Muslim school of methodology and thought and is the foundation for the Hanafi school. It is both the first source for scholars and a manual for the general reader.
This is its first-ever complete translation in English. Translated from Arabic with introduction and notes by Tahir Mahmood Kiani.
Al-Imām al-ʿAllāmah Abu ‘l-Ḥusayn Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad al-Baghdādi al-Qudūri. [He is more commonly known by his nisbah (surname), as Imam al-Qudūri.] Some say that his nisbah is ascribed to one of the outlying towns of Baghdad called Qudūrah. Others say that it is ascribed to his family profession, the selling of pots (which in Arabic are translated as qudūr).
He was born – may Allah Most High have mercy on him – in the year 362 A.H. He studied Fiqh from Abu ʿAbdillāh al-Faqīh Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā al-Jurjāni. Among the jurists that learned Fiqh at his hands was Abu Naṣr Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad al-Aqṭaʿ. The chief justice (qāḍī al-quḍāt) Abu ʿAbdillāh al-Dāmaghāni narrates ḥadīth from him, and so does al-Khaṭīb al-Baghdādi. Imam al-Qudūri – may Allah Most High have mercy on him – distinguished himself in Fiqh due to his intelligence. He went on to become the leader of the Ḥanafi scholars in Iraq, and he rose amongst them in status and fame. He was well-spoken in his views, of a bold tongue and constant in reciting the Quran.
Al-Quduri was one of the ashab al-tarjih (jurists who weighed and analyzed the strengths of differing verdicts in the madhhab). The leadership of the Hanafis in `Iraq came to rest with him, and his renown rose. His mention recurs in the well-known Hanafi books al-Hidayah and al-Khulasah. He died on 15th Rajab 428 AH in Baghdad, and was buried in his home, but was later transported and buried beside Abu Bakr al-Khawarizmi, another Hanafi jurist.
The Imam passed away – may Allah Most High have mercy on him – on Monday, the fifteenth of Rajab, year 428 A.H. He was buried soon after in his home on Abī Khalaf Lane. He was later moved to a cemetery on al-Manṣūr Street, and there he was laid to rest beside the Ḥanafi jurist Abu Bakr al-Khawārizmi.
