Ismail bin Ibrahim family is a simple family. At the age of 2 years, Bukhari was sudÂdenly blind and made his mother sobbed all night to pray and ask God to make Bukhari to see again. At age of 10, little Bukhari began studying the hadith by hearing because his eyes were blind, and at the age of 16, this behaved child has been able to memorize the Holy Koran and invited to do the pilgrimage by his mothÂer with my older brother, Ahkmad and living in the holy city of Mecca for 6 years.
At his teenage age, Bukhari decided to study to some Islamic schools in the Arabian Peninsula and only after 42 years, he returned to her home land Uzbekistan, and at that time Bukhari already turned to 57 years and he had already memorized 300.00 hadith. The most part of his life he spent out of his country, and being educatÂed by a lot of scholars.
In his preaching misÂsion, Bukhari opened an Islamic school, and acÂcording to him, many people did not follow the teachings of the real hadith. His teaching method followed by many people and made his name became well-known in the entire Bukhara until one day the King who ruled at the time asked him to teach royal family members but refused by Bukhari. AccordÂing to him, knowledge never comes to the people and it is the people who must find the knowledge. The king became angry and ordered him to leave Bukhara and exiled by the authorities to Samarqand, almost half a day trip driving from Bukhara passing Navoi.
Bukhari was educated in a religious family. In the bookats -Tsiqat , Ibn Hibban wrote that Bukhari’s father was known as Wara or a person who is very attentive of things that are doubtful (doubt) over the first legal forbidden things. His father was a Maliki scholar and the student of Imam Malik, the great scholar. His father died when Bukhari was still young.
Bukhari studied to Shaykh Ad-Dakhili, hadith expert and well-known in Bukhara. At the age of 18 he published his first book called Kazaya Shahabah wa Tabi’in, memoÂrized the books of hadith worked by Mubarak and Waki bin Malik bin Jarrah. Together with his teacher Sheikh Ishaq, collecting hadith-haditsshahih in one book, in which a million hadith narrated into 80,000 hadith filtered into 7275.
Bukhari has a high memory as recognized by his brother, Rashid bin Ismail. He has slight figure; not tall, not short, with brownÂish skin, friendly and generous as well as charitable person for education.
Imam Al- Bukhari passed away at the age of 60 in a small town called Khartank in SamarÂqand which is also one of the four ancient cities in Uzbekistan. In fact, the Great Imam Bukhari was also the descendant of the PerÂsians who had occupied Uzbekistan during Abbasid Caliphate homage to Sunni Islam. His Masterpiece is Sahih Al-Bukhari hadith which became the most widely used referÂence in Muslim countries around the world until this time.
