All 4 Imaams were imprisoned atleast once within their lifetime.

Imaam Abu Hanifah was punched and tortured and his face was bleeding, he was sad because he felt that his mum would feel hurt due to his torture.

Imaam Malik's was tortured too, his shoulders got dislocated and his arms got damaged. He had to perform salaah with his hands on his side, due to the injury.

Imaam Shafi'ie was imprisoned because people spread false rumours about him, saying that he was planning on overthrowing the government with other groups.

Imaam Ahmad was whipped 80 times by the khalifah's strongest whippers, because he never agreed with the khalifah.*

*The khalifah said that the Qur'an was the creation of Allaah, but the view of the Ahlus Sunnah (the people of sunnah) is that the Qur'an is the actual word of Allaah Almighty.)

Imaam Abu Hanifah was a part time business man, but also studied fiqh. His dad had left a clothes business, so Imaam Abu Hanifah continued this business throughout his life part time.

Imaam Malik's dad was a scholar of Hadith, his dad also created arrows.

Imaam Ahmad was poor within his lifetime - unlike the two scholars above. He would earn money by carrying people's loads, and would travel to places by foot instead of transport. He would make copies of books for people, and would earn a small income through that.

Imaam Abu Hanifah was Persian by descent and travelled alot within his lifetime. After the age of 16, he made hajj every year in his lifetime.

Imaam Malik never left Medinah, he was born there and he died there. His descent was originally from Yemen.

Imaam Shafi'ie was born in Palestine. He travelled alot and loved spear throwing. His family was from Quraysh, the descendants of Haashim, a forefather of the Messenger of Allaah (peace be upon him.)

Imaam Ahmad was born in Baghdad, Iraq and studied there. He was an orphan, so his mother would help him wake up early for fajr, and would help him go to the masjid so he could study islaam.

Yeah, but his mom said to him that you havn't got the looks - which made him back off. lol subhanAllaah.

Even though he was extremely handsome and had a beautiful voice masha'Allaah.

In the lecture in the heroes of islam [the link i posted earlier] - it's reported that he had blonde hair and blue eyes.

Allaah Almighty knows best.

Imaam Abu Hanifah did meet Imaam Malik within his lifetime.

Imaam Malik met Imaam Shafi'ie within his lifetime.

Imaam Shafi'ie met Imaam Ahmad within his lifetime.

So even if they had different opinions, they still loved each other for the sake of Allaah Almighty. So we should do the same insha'Allaah.

Allaah Almighty knows best.

Imaam Abu Hanifah was influenced by a wise man (Imaam Sha'bie) to study islam, even though Abu Hanifah was a good debator - this was his turning point.

Imaam Malik's dad once asked Malik a question when he was just a boy. Malik's older brother got the answer right, but Malik never. His dad shouted at him and told him that he wasted too much of his time playing with the birds.'

So Imaam Malik went to his mother and she took him to Masjid un-Nabawi (sal Allaahu alayhi waSalam) to study islam.

This was his turning point.

JazakAllah Khair. It's always interesting to know about the four imaams.

It always suprised me before but now I suppose i'm used to it that the sihaaey sitta (Bukhari Shareef, Muslim Shareef, Tirmidhi Shareef, Abu Dawud Shareef, Nasaaey Shareef and Ibn Maja Shareef) authors all follow one of these imaams. Call me stupid but when I first started studying ahaadith I thought that they came before the four imams. It was only when I started studying these great books that I realised that the muhaddith came after these imams.

Imam Abu Hanifah's name is Nu'man.

Not a lot (sorry) but that's all i can remember at the top of my head. i'll have to dig up my notes....

Yeah subhan Allaah, i was listening in an awlaki lecture (Imaam Anwar al-Awlaki - Hijrah & Allaah Almighty is preparing us for Victory. (2006)) and he was saying that when Allaah wants to create a situation, He create's its means.

So we know that when Fiqh was needed soo much within the muslim ummah - Allaah azawajal sent the imaams of Fiqh [especially the 4 above] within the same timespan.

When the ummah needed hadith, Allaah azawajal sent the 6 imaams of hadith [the ones you mentioned] within the same timespan (i.e. in the same century.)

Therefore, now that the ummah needs a khalifah and a muslim nation - Allaah azawajal is testing the muslims and giving us trials, because all this is for a greater purpose. Allaah subhanahu wa ta'aala is preparing us for victory insha'Allaahu ta'aala.
