ڈاکٹر سید عبدالعلی
افسوس ہے کہ گزشتہ ماہ مئی کی۷/تاریخ کوناظم ندوۃ العلماء لکھنؤ ڈاکٹر سید عبدالعلی صاحب ۶۸برس کی عمرمیں رہ گزائے عالم جاودانی ہوگئے۔مرحوم اپنی ذات سے ایک انجمن اورگوناگوں اوصاف وکمالات کامخزن تھے اور اس حیثیت سے ہمارے فاضل دوست مولانا سید ابوالحسن علی میاں کے صحیح معنی میں برادراکبر تھے۔علم وفضل کایہ عالم کہ علوم دینیہ اوراسلامیہ کی تکمیل ندوۃ اوردیوبند دونوں جگہ کی تھی جوان علوم کے لیے مرکز کی حیثیت رکھتے ہیں، پھر علوم جدیدہ کی طرف توجہ کی تو سائنس کے اعلیٰ درجہ کے گریجویٹ ہوئے اور ادھر طبیب فاضل وحاذق اور ادھر ایم۔بی ۔بی۔ ایس اوراس تقریب سے ایلوپیتھک طریقۂ علاج کے بھی ماہر، غرض کہ قدیم وجدید کایہ امتزاج شاید ہی کسی اورجگہ اس نوعیت کاملے۔علاوہ بریں نیک طینتی،پاک نہادی اورحسن اخلاق وشمائل میں ہوبہو سلف صالحین کا نمونہ، روحانیت اورانابت الی اﷲ میں جنید وشبلی کویاد دلانے والے،بے حد قانع، خوددار وبے نیاز،فیاض وسخی،کشادہ جبین وفرخندہ خو،کم سخن وکم گو۔ انھوں نے اپنے برادر خورد علی میاں اوراپنی اولاد کی جس جذبۂ دینداری وخداپرستی کے ساتھ تربیت کی اورجس کے نمونے آج ہرشخص کے سامنے موجود ہیں، وہ ہمارے ملک کے بہت سے اکابر علماء ومشائخ کے لیے مایۂ ہزارگونہ عبرت وموعظت ہے۔ برسوں سے ندوۃ العلماء کے ناظم تھے۔مرحوم کے عہد میں اس درسگاہ کے طلباء میں جو دینداری اورخالص اسلامی جذبہ پیداہوا وہ غالباً خود سید صاحب کے عہد میں نہ تھا! الغرض عجیب وغریب قسم کے علمی وعملی کمالات کے بزرگ تھے۔اﷲ تعالیٰ جنت الفردوس میں ابرار و اتقیا کامقام جلیل عطافرمائے۔آمین

Former Egyptian Muḥaddithīn of the each centuries have played a well-regarded, venerated and esteemed role in services of Ḥadīth and its sciences. Their outstanding contribution in this regard has been appreciated in each century of Islamic history. Those Muḥaddithīn have left valuable work on Ḥadīth and its sciences in their popular and basic sources of Ḥadīth for coming generations. Muḥaddithīn of 20th century were not less than the former in their involvement in the field of Hadith. Their dynamic and marvelous efforts are needed to be unveiled for scholars and students of Ḥadīth. Al-shaykh Abdur Raḥmān al Banna Al sāʻātī is known as one of the prominent Egyptian Muḥaddithīn in 20th century. He made extraordinary efforts in the field of Ḥadīth and its sciences through compiling and writing various remarkable books in this regard. His marvelous work in Alfatḥ Al-Rabbānī li Tartīb Musnad Al-Imām Aḥmad bin Hanbal Al-Shaybānī on Musnad Imām Aḥmad bin Hanbal in its rearranging, categorizing and organizing its Ḥadīth is deserved to be cherished and focused on due to its significance and importance in the field of Ḥadīth. He is the first Muḥaddith who presented the Aḥādīth of Musnad in seven outstanding chapters to facilitate the researchers in their accessing to the main theme of the Musnad. In this paper the life sketch of Al-Shayk Abdur Raḥmān, his scholarly contribution in the field of Ḥadīth and his methodology in his renowned book alfatḥ al-Rabbānī has been discussed and highlighted its valuable aspects.
Theileria equi (T. equi) is an obligate intra- and extra-erythrocytic parasite that causes equine theileriosis (ET) in equids. Equine theileriosis is considered a notifiable disease of global significance, a major constraint to the international movement of horses, and endemic in many countries. This disease may be difficult to diagnose, as it can produce variable and nonspecific clinical signs. A cross-sectional study was designed for the molecular characterisation of T. equi and to investigate the associated risk factors of ET accompanied by its consequences on haematological and sero-biochemical parameters. A convenience sampling of 500 blood samples were collected from ET suspect horses from January to December 2017. PCR was performed on all blood samples targeting the 18S rRNA gene of T. equi followed by sequencing; 9% animals tested positive with confirmed sequences. The isolates of this study showed high homology with Cuban, Russian and Brazilian isolates of T. equi (accession numbers KY111762.2, MG551915.1 and KY952237.1, respectively). Based on multivariate analysis, the principal risk factors consisted of absence of dogs on the premises and presence of tick infestation. The haemato-biochemical parameters showed a decrease in granulocytes and erythrocytes, and an increase in lymphocytes, monocytes, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, mean platelet volume, glucose, phosphorus and aspartate aminotransferase in positive horses. This is the first study which identified ET in Punjab (Pakistan) using molecular techniques and risk factors together with the haemato-biochemical variations in horses. Ticks are major external parasites of horses that affect animal welfare and transmit many infections. Little is known about the epidemiology of ticks in horses in Pakistan. Keeping in view the significance of horses and its importance, a cross-sectional study was designed to investigate species distribution, seasonal dynamics and epidemiology of ticks infesting horses in Pakistan. By convenience sampling, 500 horses in two districts (Sargodha and Lahore) of Punjab were screened for the presence of ticks from January to December 2017. Tick samples were collected from horses and identified to species level. Data of temporospatial, host and husbandry practices-related risk factors were recorded in a separate questionnaire. Ticks representing six species were collected i.e. Hyalomma impeltatum (n=52), H. impressum (n=25), H. excavatum (n=9), H. anatolicum (n=3), H. scupense (n=3) and H. dromedarii (n=3). The sex ratio of collected ticks showed 63 (66.32%) male and 32 (33.68%) female. In both districts, predominant species in horses was H. impeltatum. All infested horses had more than one tick species. The overall proportion of tick infested horses was 7% (35/500), which was high in district Lahore (8.15%) than district Sargodha (5.99%). Summer, ≤3 body condition score, satisfactory nutritional status, same breed rearing system, presence of dogs and absence of birds at farms, and activity were important risk factors associated with high equine tick infestation. This is the first report regarding the presence of H. dromedarii in the horses of Punjab.
