Summary
Abu Ishaq Ibrahim ibn Hani al-Naysaburi travelled in search of knowledge to Baghdad, Egypt and Mecca, and settled in Baghdad. He was a trustworthy and righteous man, and Ahmad ibn Hanbal was in hiding with him during the time of the inquisition. 1
The scene at his death
Ahmad ibn Hanbal said to his son Ishaq: "I cannot bear the worship that your father bears." He also said: "If there is a man among the substitutes (abdal) in Baghdad, it is Abu Ishaq al-Naysaburi." At his death, he said to his son, who was thirsty, "Bring water." When it was said, "The sun has set," he said, "Then return it," and then recited Qur'an 37:61. His soul departed in Rabi al-Akhir of the year 265 AH. 1
