Abu Ishaq al-Saffar al-Bukhari (

Arabic: تلخيص الأدلّة لقواعد التوحيد) which is a voluminous kalam work.[4][5][6]

He lived in

theologian who systematically established his ideas about kalam believing that information based upon reason, revealed knowledge and senses are determinative in his area.[7][8]

Name

Abu Ishaq Ibrahim b. Isma'il b. Ahmad b. Ishaq b. Shayth, known as al-Zahid al-Saffar.[9][10]

The alternative name Ibrahim b. Ishaq, recorded by

GAL, is found only in the British Museum manuscript no. 1577, Add. 27526, and is presumably erroneous, since the few bibliographical sources that mention al-Saffar call him Ibn Isma'il.[11][12]

Books

In his work titled

kalām,[Note 1] he wrote extensively about al-Asma' al-Husna (the Most Beautiful Names of God). Approximately one third of this work, published in two volumes, was devoted to al-Asma' al-Husna. In the pre-Saffar Hanafi-Maturidi theological literature, there was no other work that addressed al-Asma' al-Husna in such an extensive way.[13]
