Overview
The imam and scholar Abu'l-Muzaffar al-Sam'ani, Mansur b. Muhammad al-Tamimi al-Marwazi — a Hanafi, then a Shafi'i; he read fiqh under his own countrymen and was the imam of his time in Abu Hanifa's madhhab, but when he made the hajj something appeared to him in the Hijaz that required his transfer to the Shafi'i madhhab, and on returning to Marw he suffered grievous harm on account of it. 1
His works
He wrote many books in the Shafi'i madhhab and in refutation of opponents; his Tabaqat is excellent, his tafsir good and sound, and he collected a thousand parts of hadith from a hundred shaykhs. He died in 489. 1
