Brief Biography of Imam al-Quduri
He is Abu’l-Hasan Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Ja`far ibn Hamdan al-Quduri
al-Baghdadi, the Hanafi jurist, born 362 AH. Al-Quduri is an ascription to the
selling of pots (qudur).
Abu’l-Hasan al-Quduri took his knowledge of fiqh from Abu `Abdillah Muhammad ibn
al-Jurjani, from Abu Bakral Jassas al-Razi, from Abu’l-Hasan al-Karkhi, from
Abu Sa`id al-Barda`i from `Ali al-Daqqaq, from Abu Sahl Musa ibn Nasr al-Razi,
from Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Shaybani, from Abu Hanifah, from Hammad ibn Abi
Sulayman, from Ibrahim al-Nakha`i, from `Alqamah, from `Abdullah ibn Mas`ud (may
Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (may Allah bless him and his
Household and grant them all peace).
Al-Quduri was one of the ashab al-tarjih (jurists who
weighed and analyzed the strengths of differing verdicts in the madhhab).
The leadership of the Hanafis in `Iraq came to rest with him, and his renown
rose. His mention recurs in the well-known Hanafi books al-Hidayah and
al-Khulasah. He died on 15th Rajab 428 AH in Baghdad, and was buried in his
home, but was later transported and buried beside Abu Bakr al-Khawarizmi,
another Hanafi jurist
