Hakim al-Shahid

Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Abdullah ibn Abdulmajid ibn Ismail, known as al-Hakim al-Shahid al-Marwazi or simply Hakim al-Shahid, was a 9th–10th century Sunni Hanafi scholar, jurist, and hadith expert from Merv. He served as a judge (qadi) in Bukhara and later as vizier of the Samanid state. He is mainly known for his only surviving work on Hanafi jurisprudence, Al-Kafi, an abridgment of the six canonical works of Muhammad al-Shaybani, which are foundational texts of the Hanafi school.
