Great Scholars Who Have Been Single

In this part, there are several great scholars who are very familiar in Islamic literature. One of them is interpretation. After all, these scholars are very influential scholars in Islamic studies. At least, we can take lessons from their seriousness and enthusiasm to continue to gain knowledge and work, not to increase rupiah coffers and add wives (polygamy). The following are the names of these great scholars:

- Bisyrul Hafi al-Marwazi

He was a Muhaddis imam and an ascetic who was born in 150 AH. He migrated to the city of Baghdad to study with religious leaders there, such as Abdullah bin Mubarak, Malik bin Anas and Fudhail bin Iyadh.

Imam Ahmad bin Hambal's teacher was one of the most intelligent scholars of his time. At first he was a muhaddis who was very conscientious in his field, then he turned into an ascetic Sufi and stopped narrating hadith.

When Ahmad bin Hambal was asked about zuhud he felt unable to answer it. He said that the only person who deserved to answer him was his teacher, Bisyrul Hafi.

He died in the year 227 H. Imam Daruqutni commented that Bisyr was an ascetic scholar who only narrated authentic hadith.

- Hannad bin As-Sary

Hannad was a huffadz and teacher in Kufah. His full name is Hannad bin as-Sary at-Taimy ad-Darimy. He is the teacher of most scholars of hadith, even Imam Bukhari narrated hadith from him in the book Khalqu Af'alil Ibad.

He used his daily life to worship. As told by Ahmad bin Salamah an-Naisaburi that Hannad is a person who often cries. In the morning after teaching, he performed the sunnah prayer until dawn. Then the Sunnah prayer again until Asr. After that he recited Al-Quran until sunset.

One of his neighbors once told him that what Ahmad bin Salamah disclosed was an activity he had been doing for 70 years. Imagine, if during the day the religious activities are like that, how about the night activities? He wrote a big book about zuhud. He was born in 152 H and died in 243 H.
