Al-Ṣadr al-Shahīd - The Scholar Who Fulfilled His Pledge to Allah Ta’ala With His Life
It was around 29th Muharram 536 AH/9th September 1141, that ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz raḥimahullah, a leading scholar of Bukhārā, and teacher of great scholars such as the author of Al-Hidāyah
companions, perhaps even Ṣaḥib al-Hidāyah himself, as well as saying farewell to his children, as though he knew he would not be returning [Siyar Aʿlām al-Nubālā, 20:97]. He was martyred in this battle and is forever remembered as ‘Al-Ṣadr al-Shahīd’ or
‘Ḥusām al-Dīn al-Shahīd’. At this point, the Seljuk Empire lost control of the Western Kara-Khānid dynasty. He is the author of Sharḥ al-Jāmiʿ al-Ṣaghīr and a founding father in formulating fatāwā works in the Ḥanafī madhhab.
Alhamdulillah, I had the honour of meeting someone whom I’ve never met but have always considered a role-model, Mufti Taqi Uthmani. I presented my ḥadīth book to him in which I’ve discussed the Al-Mudawwanah al-Jāmiʿah.

Alhamdulillah quite glad I printed Sherman Jackson's "The Constitutional Jurisprudence of Shihab al-Din al-Qarafi". It's proving to be a fantastic read!
