Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
JAZZALLAHU ANA SAYYEDINA MUHAMMADAN MA HUWA AHLAHU
MANAM SAGHE DARGAAHE JILANI
Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal Radi Allahu anhu was the leader of the Muhadditheen and the trustee of Sunnat. Imam was brought from Riqah to Baghdad to debate upon the issue of Khalqe-Quraan. The Khalifa and scholars of his court where of the opinion that Quraan is a creation when the Imam was in firm view of the opposite. A lot of pressure was placed upon the Imam to change his view. They scared and threatened him. But the Imam was oblivious to all this and stayed firm on the right path. When Imam Ahmad did not change his view by any means he was brought before Mutasim, upon his denial and view he was given 28 lashes by the order of the Khalifa. A fresh executioner would only give him two whips and then another lasher would come. Imam Ahmad would state upon every lash received: bring me evidence from Allah’s book or the tradition of the beloved Prophet Salla Allahu 'alayhi wa Sallam so that I can believe this viewpoint.’ Imam Ahmad Radi Allahu anhu was jailed for 28 weeks (approx six months) and during this period he was lashed 34 times. (Al-bidayah wan-nihayah)
Muhammad bin Ismail Bukhari states that I had heard Imam Ahmad was lashed in such a manner that if one of those lashes was to hit an elephant it would scream and run. This fortitude and steadfastness of Imam Ahmad Radi Allahu anhu eliminated this issue of Khalqe-Quraan for ever and the Muslim Ummat was saved from this great religious danger. (Muhadditheen-e-Izaam)
Allahu Akbar
Yehi meri aakhiri Tammanna hain Rehan
Mujhe Shah Abdul Rahim ke Aastaane ka Kafan mile
