Talk:Muhammad al-Bukhari

message: : Well, I don't know about that. When people want to refer to the person who laid down the teachings of Islam, they often refer to "Prophet Muhammad". It's often done on Wikipedia too I think. That's not an endorsement of his prophethood as much as it is a convenient way to refer to a certain individual (the Muhammad who claimed to be a prophet and not the boxer Muhammad Ali). Your argument looks fine to me though so I'm leaving your edit. I'm however removing the "whom Muslims call the prophet". The link to Prophets Of Islam has nothing to do with Imam Bukhari and the wording is likely to provoke an edit war. Do you think it's okay now? --Nkv 10:32, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it's fine.  I agree it was off-topic.  You've brought it back to what it was to begin with.  The purpose of the link on Muhammad is precisely to inform those who are curious.  People who actually don't know who Muhammad is are unlikely to seek out, or get much out of, this Bukhari article anyhow.Timothy Usher 10:35, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Not my consensus.  Not according to WP style manual for Islam-related articles. And not according to WP:NPOV.Timothy Usher 11:05, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Consensus is collective, not individual. The WP style manual doesn't say anything about it. See Timothy Usher's talk page. BhaiSaab 11:53, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Personally, I think referring to him as Prophet Muhammad is more accurate than just saying Muhammad. It's a widely used way of referring to him and even books that are critical or outright against him refer to him like so. This is not endorsing his prophethood but it's a method of specifying the person (like I mentioned above). However, it's not something that I think is worth arguing over. If Timothy Usher is insistent on removing the term "Prophet", I'm not opposed to it. --Nkv 13:59, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I found a page that has a usage of the term that me might all be happy with. Check out the first paragraph of Al-Muwatta. It refers to him as the "Islamic Prophet Muhammad" which is quite accurate. As far as Islam is concerned, he is a prophet. --Nkv 14:17, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: This is a difficult one. Most people who have heard of this person know him as "Bukhari." Almost none of them would know him by his first name. Among muslims when you say Bukhari in the context of scholarship there is no need for further specification. If you mean something or someone else you would have to specify.--UthmanMarwandi (talk) 03:50, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

:I do not agree and neither any practising Muslim will agree the way wikipedia presents the Muslim scolars. What is the need of mentioning "sunni sources portray" it creats an unnecessary doubts in a new reader's mind about these pious souls. I would never agree with this style of writning for any other religion's great scholars. You can always find a protestant view of a catholic scholar different from protestant and similarly in Judaism another picture can be seen about any issue between orthodox and libral jews.

message: Bhukari did not author his book, he compiled the hadith. Hadith are narrations about Muhammad passed down through the generations and collected about two years later.

message: "Al-Dhahabi said that Imam Bukhari was a mujtahid, a scholar capable of making his own ijtihad without following any Islamic school of jurisprudence in particular.[citation needed]"
It would be really good to find the reference for this because the claim is rather astounding, no? If he was a mujtahid (and where has he ever claimed to be?) then what are his original principles of fiqh and aqida so that we can follow him and in which of his books do we find them? And which madhhab conferred this title to him? Has he written one line on fiqh or aqida!? Can someone be a mujtahid if he was unaware of it and did not do ijtihad whatsoever?
I'd say either someone finds the reference for Dhahabi making this claim and manages to explain the meaning and rationale of his statement, or maybe this should be removed, because as things stand this is quite perplexing. --118.173.140.188 (talk) 08:01, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

message: In your latest edit summary here, you stated the following:
This is clearly not true as you removed two citations in your editWahab, Muhammad Rashidi, and Syed Hadzrullathfi Syed Omar. "Peringkat Pemikiran Imam al-Ash’ari Dalam Akidah." International Journal of Islamic Thought 3 (2013): 58-70. "Disebabkan itu, al- Bukhari dalam kebanyakan perkara berkaitan dengan persoalan akidah dikatakan akan mengambil pendapat Ibn Kullab dan al-Karabisi(al-'Asqalani 2001: 1/293)", the second of which has a quote embedded into it which is explicit in its purport:
The translation is: "al-Bukhari in most matters related to the question of Aqidah (creed) is said to take the opinion of Ibn Kullab and al-Karabisi," I have highlighted certain words to show how explicit the assertion being made is. Thus is on page 62.
The above source is peer-reviewed, being placed in the National University of Malaysia's International Journal of Islamic Thought. Moreover, the primary source quoted before this is a publishing of Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani's medieval work Fath al-Bari, where he mentions the Bukhari was a follower of Ibn Kullab. 
You removed these two sources, which are explicit, and claimed, "lack of evidence of reference". This seems to be either a clear attempt to deceive or a refusal to acknowledge the source.
Instead, you reintroduced the two sources I had criticised previously as examples of original research and editorial synthesis, where you make a claim not found explicitly in the source but is derived by it. An explicit peer-reviewed sources assertion cannot be replaced with what you derive through your own analysis of the sources you have brought. This is inappropriate for Wikipedia.
Your third source does not have a page number and I cannot access it. 
One notes that none of the three sources you have brought are peer-reviewed, two are publishings of medieval sources, and the third I am unsure what it is. I invite you to elaborate on this third source and quote from it directly.
Regardless, the two references you have brought do not state your claim explicitly and you have removed sourced material including their citations which back him being a follower of Ibn Kullab in creed, after which you claim there were no references to back the previous version.
Thus the text in the infobox should be changed back to "Kullabi" with the references given. 
Otherwise, I implore you to defend the sources you have brought (showing there is no OR involved in bringing them), show my assertions to be false and to defend yourself for removing the explicit source(s).
::Sidenote: The above source states regarding Al-Dhahabi's view of Ibn Kullab: "Al-Dhahabidan al-Subkijuga menyatakan perkara yang sama terhadap Ibn Kullab dan mengakui bahawa beliau merupakan seorang tokoh ulama Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama’ah generasi Salaf (al-Dhahabi 1996:  11/174;  al-Subkit.th:  2/300)." Meaning Ad-Dhahabi (and another scholar called al-Subki) recognised him as a Sunni scholar. I only state this as you brought Al-Dhahabi as a source to try and say Bukhari is an "Athari". Al-Dhahabi is fine with the scholar Ibn Kullab. Of course I am not bringing this as a point of evidence, the source states he's a follower of Ibn Kullab in creed anyway, I'm merely stating this to show your analysis that "X Athari scholar praises X individual means X individual is Athari" would imply Ibn Kullab is an Athari. Regardless, such analysis and implications are not warranted as evidence on Wikipedia.
I invite , who has criticised me in the past, to give his view on the matter. ParthikS8 (talk) 21:01, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

message: Scholars agree that alBukhari’s creed is athari, and that is clear from his works including “alKhalq” and others. Trying to establish his creed from other than his books and/or quoting his contemporaries shows academic dishonesty. And the alBukhari authored his book in Arabic, saying it is an “unknown Arabic book” is disrespectful to his academic contribution to scholarly Islamic works and only displays the level of your ignorance.

replies: text: Muhammad al-Bukhari →  – This is simply the most famous al-Bukhari. Al-Bukhari even redirects here. This is common with Arabic nisbas where strictly speaking, there's a lot of people who share a portion of the fullest version of the name, so we just follow the WP:RS sources for the short form used. Such as his student, al-Tirmidhi (not Muhammad al-Tirmidhi), al-Tabari (not Muhammad al-Tabari), al-Nasa'i (not Ahmad al-Nasa'i) etc. "Bukhari" without the Arabic definite article can be a disambiguation, though al-Bukhari is clearly WP:COMMONNAME per this figure.  Aqsian313 (talk) 20:35, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Al-Bukhari may be used in short form as a reference to the book, though it is highly the primary topic for this scholar and al-Bukhari already redirects here and not to the book. Similarly, the "al-Tirmidhi" is also used in short form to refer to Sunan al-Tirmidhi, though we still nevertheless have the author's article titled al-Tirmidhi, not Muhammad al-Tirmidhi. The same goes on for al-Nasa'i, al-Tabari, al-Darimi, al-Daraqutni, al-Baqillani, al-Bayhaqi and nearly every hadith scholar here. Aqsian313 (talk) 01:55, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
