The importance of knowing the dates of birth\/death of the scholars cannot be stressed enough. For one, it savesnice4 a researcher from obvious blunders and inaccurate referencing. Many a times, several scholars or books share the same name but are from entirely different eras. Thus, when a scholar like Ibn \u2018\u0100bid\u012bn quotes \u201cal-Lub\u0101b,\u201d for example, it is obvious that he is referring to a book other than that of his student, \u2018Abd al-Ghan\u012b al-Ghunaym\u012b.<\/p>\n
The following is a chart of the names, birth\/death dates, and works of major Hanaf\u012b jurists, starting from the Im\u0101m of the Madhhab until the jurists of the present century. In this chart, we have sufficed on the relatively prominent jurists; as otherwise, there would be no end to the list. Many other Hanaf\u012b scholars could be added, but were omitted due to their prominence in fields besides Fiqh. Wherever possible, both the dates of birth and death were mentioned. Otherwise, only the date of death is mentioned, preceded by the abbreviation, \u201cd.\u201d When an approximate date is mentioned, it is preceded by \u201cca.\u201d (circa). The abbreviation \u201cp.\u201d means \u201cpost.\u201d<\/p>\n
It should be noted that the purpose of this chart is to serve as an easy reference for those searching for the names and birth\/death dates of major Hanaf\u012b jurists. Those who are interested in detailed biographical entries of these jurists should refer to the relevant works, such as Tar\u012bkh Baghd\u0101d of al-Khat\u012bb al-Baghd\u0101d\u012b, al-Jaw\u0101hir al-Mudiyyah of al-Qurash\u012b, T\u0101j al-Tar\u0101jim of Q\u0101sim ibn Qutl\u016bbugh\u0101, al-Faw\u0101\u2019id al-Bahiyyah of al-Lakhnaw\u012b, and al-A\u2018l\u0101m of al-Zirikl\u012b etc. \u062a\u0627\u0631\u064a\u062e \u0628\u063a\u062f\u0627\u062f \u0644\u0644\u062e\u0637\u064a\u0628\u060c \u0627\u0644\u062c\u0648\u0627\u0647\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0636\u064a\u0629 \u0644\u0644\u0642\u0631\u0634\u064a\u060c \u062a\u0627\u062c \u0627\u0644\u062a\u0631\u0627\u062c\u0645 \u0644\u0642\u0627\u0633\u0645 \u0628\u0646 \u0642\u0637\u0644\u0648\u0628\u063a\u0627\u060c \u0627\u0644\u0641\u0648\u0627\u0626\u062f \u0627\u0644\u0628\u0647\u064a\u0629 \u0644\u0644\u0643\u0647\u0646\u0648\u064a\u060c \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0639\u0644\u0627\u0645 \u0644\u0644\u0632\u0631\u0643\u0644\u064a
