Ismail ibn Ibrahim

Ismail Ibn Ibrahim ( _ar. اسماعيل بن ابراهيم) is most notable for being the father of Imam Bukhari.

Biography

Ancestry

Ismail's ancestry can be traced to a farmer named Bardizbah who lived in the vicinity of Bukhara. This farmer was taken as a captive during the Islamic conquest of Persia. Bardizbah's had a son named al-Mugheerah. The son accepted Islam in the hand of the Muslim governor of Bukhara, named al-Yamaan al-Ju'fee. Due to this, he was given the ascription "al-Ju'fee".

Mugheerah eventually had a son named Ibraaheem, the father of Ismail Ibn Ibrahim.

Life

Ismail Ibn Ibrahim became a known scholar of Hadith, praised by Sunni Muslims as a man of great piety and sound reputation. Scrupulous in his habits, he is said to have mentioned on his deathbed that in all he possessed there was not a penny which had not been earned by his own honest labour.

Ismael also married and had two sons, Ahmad and Muhammad. Muhammad would later be known as Imam Bukhari, the most prominent Sunni hadith collector.

Death

When Imam Bukhari was only an infant, Ismail Ismail died. He left a considerable fortune to his widow two sons.
