See also Hisham ibn Hakam Notes As discussed above - others such as Ibn ‛Abd al-Raḥmān al-Malṭī (d. 377/987) and Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 728/1328), did not consider him to have been an anthropomorphist. However one should note that both Ibn Mubarak and Wakee' were students of Abu Hanifa. Ibn Taymiyyah himself was accused of anthropomorphism, and was put on trial, found guilty and imprisoned for this. This is slightly different from what al-Mizzi, Ibn Taymiyyah's contemporary, reports of al-Shafi'i: "Whoever wants to study tafsīr he has to rely on Muqātil; whoever wants to study ḥadīth he has to rely on Mālik; and whoever wants to study kalam he has to rely on Abū Ḥanīfa" References External links Biodata at MuslimScholars.info 8th-century births 767 deaths Quranic exegesis scholars 8th-century Arabic writers People from Balkh
