شاہ سلیمان احمد چشتی
جو حضرات سلسلۂ امدادیہ چشتیہ صابریہ سے تعلق رکھتے تھے انہیں یہ معلوم کرکے بے حد افسوس اور رنج ہوگا کہ حضرت شاہ سلیمان احمد صاحب چشتی صابری نے جودرگاہ شاہ عہدالہادی وشاہ عبدالباری چشتی امروہوی رحمہما اﷲ کے سجادہ نشین تھے۔۹۰ سال کی عمر میں یکم جنوری۱۹۶۲ء مطابق۲۳/رجب۱۳۸۱ھ کو اپنے وطن امروہہ ضلع مرادآباد میں وفات پائی اوراپنے جد امجد کے پائیں مزار دفن ہوئے۔ شاہ صاحب مرحوم حضرت حاجی امداد اﷲ صاحب مہاجر مکی کے اسلاف کی اولاد میں ہونے کے علاوہ معقول ومنقول کے زبردست عالم اور حضرت مولانا احمد حسن صاحب محدث امروہوی کے شاگردرشید تھے، سلسلۂ طریقت میں اپنے والد بزرگوار اورحاجی شاہ محمد ابراہیم اورجدامجد شاہ غلام مصطفےٰ چشتی صابری سے فیض یاب تھے۔ تصوف کانہایت اعلیٰ مذاق اوراس کے دقائق و رموزپرگہری نظر رکھتے تھے۔متبع کتاب وسنت،سیرچشم،متوکل،شب زندہ دار اور اسلاف کرام کی زندگی کاسچا نمونہ تھے۔ ان کے مریدین ومسترشدین کی تعداد ہزاروں تک پہنچتی ہے لیکن انھوں نے کبھی اس کو جلب زرکاذریعہ نہیں بنایا۔اﷲ تعالیٰ جنت الفردوس میں مقام جلیل اوراُن کے پوتے حکیم نظیر احمد صاحب کو جو اب سجادہ نشین ہوئے ہیں بزرگوں کے نقشِ قدم پرچلنے کی توفیق عطافرمائے۔

Methodical codification of “Gharib ul Hadith” books started during second century. Abu Ubaida Mua‘mmar bin Muthanna, an Iraqi scholar, pioneered the field. Afterwards numerous scholars have written books on “Gharib ul Hadith” but they followed different methodologies for their compositions. Some of them have written Hadith's disorderly, and then explained all Gharib words appearing in the Hadith. This method appears in most part of their writings. Some of the scholars have observed jurisprudential method for their creations. Others followed methodology of explaining Gharibwords by organizing Hadith's; first from Prophet Muhammad, then from sahabas (companions of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w), and finally from Taba’een (immediate followers). However, some sorted Hadith in alphabetical order. This research article presented a detailed analytical review of different methodologies adopted in famous “Gharib ul Hadith” Books.
It is widely known that hepatitis and its complications such as cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma are one of the major health problems of the world especially since no specific treatment is available. In the present study we investigated the hepatoprotective and regenerative potential of the methanolic extract of the whole plant of Dodonaea viscosa and its ethyl acetate, aqueous, butanol and n-hexane fractions against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) induced hepatoxicity in rats. Hepatoprotection was assessed in terms of reduction in serum enzymes (ALT, AST, and ALP) that occur after CCl4 injury, and by histopathology and immunohistochemistry. The methanolic extract reduced the serum enzyme level (ALT, AST, and ALP) down to control levels despite CCl4 treatment. It also reduced the CCl4-induced damaged area to 0% as assessed by histopathology. The CD68+ macrophages were also reduced in number around the central vein area by the methanolic extract. These hepatoprotective effects were better than the positive control silymarin. Similar hepatoprotective activities were found with the ethyl acetate, and aqueous fractions of the methanolic extract. The butanol and n-hexane fractions showed elevated levels of ALT, AST and ALP as compared to the positive control silymarin. Histopathology showed ~30% damage to the liver cells with the butanol and n-hexane fractions which still showed some protective activity compared to the CCl4 treated control. HPLC fingerprinting suggested that hautriwaic acid and viscosine present in the methanolic extract and its ethyl acetate, and aqueous fractions may be responsible for this hepatoprotective activity of Dodonaea viscosa which was confirmed by in-vivo experiments. Another, novel approach was used to investigate the hepatoprotective and anti-cirrhotic effect of silymarin and viscosine coated gold nanoparticles, a trend towards nanomedicine.
