%X Ab¨± Zar£¿ ¡®Abd b. A£¿mad al-Haraw¨© (d. 434/1043) is a multi-faceted, voluminous scholar who has written works in Qur£¿¨¡nic sciences, fiqh and kalam, especially £¿ad¨©th. He was born in Har¨¡t, one of the major cities of Khorasan, in 355 or 356 (966 or 967) as a descendant of Hazraj. He has an important place in £¿a£¿¨©£¿ al-Bukh¨¡r¨©'s living up to today, which is a work that found fame in Islamic culture as the most reliable book after Qur£¿¨¡n thanks to the authority of the author in his field and the method and thoroughness he followed. Ab¨± Zar£¿ traveled the important science centers of his time, like Basrah, Baghdad, Damascus, Eygpt, Sarakhs, Balkh, Marw, Neyshabur, Mecca and took lessons from many teachers. As a matter of fact, he collected the names of the teachers he learned from them in a book and the number of teachers mentioned in this book exceeded 300. Ab¨± Zar£¿ was a reliable, trustworthy and accurate scholar. His vast accumulation about the authenticity and narrators of hadith, and his meticulosity in hearing (sem¨¡¡®), and the beauty of his method in many works, and also his being very sensitive about the preservation of books was pointed out. In addition it was stated that the work he had done on £¿a£¿¨©£¿s of al-Bukh¨¡r¨©' and Muslim, called £¿a£¿¨©£¿ayn, signified the strength of his memory. This work includes many hadiths which both of two author did not take into their collection despite the accordance of their conditions. Ab¨± Zar£¿ accepted the Maliki denomination. Despite the fact that he had a clairvoyance in the Islamic jurisprudence and was considered a faq¨©h, refrained from giving a fatwa and directed people who asked him a fatwa to other faqihs. At the same time, some of his works mentioned in the sources are about f£¿qh, al-Manasik, al-Rib¨¡ etc. It was also attributed to him a commentary book (Tafsir) and a work on the virtues of surah. Ab¨± Zar£¿ has also works related to aqaid. Likewise, he also pioneered the propagation of the views of Ash£¿ar¨© theologian Ab¨± Bakr al-B¨¡qill¨¡n¨©, one of his teachers whose denomination adopted by him. According to sources, he adopted al-B¨¡qill¨¡n¨©¡¯s views when he saw the respect and compliment of his teacher al-D¨¡raqutn¨© to him. In this, the fact that his own thinking is in line with B¨¡qill¨¡n¨©¡¯s views should be as effective as his devotion to his teacher, al-D¨¡raqutn¨©. In addition to his own works the books he narrated brought him an important position in the history of science. By transmitting them to next generation, he contributed two great history books of al-Bukh¨¡r¨© other than his £¿a£¿¨©£¿ and some important works of
