Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu 'Adil says: Tell us about Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (may Allah have mercy on him and be pleased with him), and what are the most prominent books he authored?
Answer:
Imam Ahmad is the Imam of the people of the Sunnah; because he stood firm during the Inquisition, and he refused to say that the Qur'an is created, even though he was beaten and imprisoned, but he did not say that the Qur'an is created, so he became the Imam of the people of the Sunnah, whom they follow in that matter, and he was patient with the torment, beating, and trial (may Allah be pleased with him and have mercy on him), so he is the Imam of the people of the Sunnah in truth. Among his writings is the Musnad, the Musnad on the hadith of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), which is one of the famous books of hadith. Among his writings is also the Refutation of the Zindiqs. Yes.
