شورش کاشمیری
شورش کاشمیری کی وفات بھی بڑا سانحہ ہے، ان کی نشوونما آزادیٔ ہند کی جدوجہد کے دوران ہوئی، انھوں نے آزادیٔ وطن کے علم برداروں کے ساتھ زندگی کا بڑا حصہ گزارا، مولانا آزاد، عطاء اﷲ شاہ بخاری اور مولانا ظفر علی خان سے انھیں گہرا تعلق تھا، ملک کی تقسیم سے پہلے ان کا قیام لاہور میں تھا، آزادی کے بعد وہ وہیں رہ گئے، لیکن انھیں وہاں کبھی اطمینان نصیب نہیں ہوا، ان کی زندگی کا بڑا حصہ جیلوں میں بسر ہوا، کبھی کبھی دارورسن کا خطرہ بھی ہوا مگر ان کے پائے ثبات کو کبھی لغرش نہیں ہوئی وہ بڑے قادر الکلام شاعر اور پرزور خطیب تھے، ان کا زور بیان اور حسن کلام مولانا ظفر علی خاں کی یاد دلاتا تھا، اعلان حق میں بڑی جری تھے اور اس راہ میں شدائد و مصائب سے کبھی ہراساں نہیں ہوئے، زندگی بھر تکلیفیں برداشت کرتے رہے، مگر کبھی باطل سے سمجھوتہ نہیں کیا، وہ دارالمصنفین کے بڑے ہمدرد اور بہی خواہ تھے اور اس کی خدمت و اعانت کے لئے ہمیشہ تیار رہتے تھے، اﷲ تعالیٰ ان کو اپنے سایۂ رحمت میں جگہ دے اور ان کی حق گوئی کا پورا صلہ عطا فرمائے۔ (عبد السلام قدوائی ندوی، نومبر ۱۹۷۵ء)
Sūnan-ul-Tirmizi is an encyclopedia of Ahādith-ul-Ahkām. Imam Tirmizi is the Mohadith who divided hadiths into Sahih and Zaeef for the first time. He accepts or rejects a hadith on the base of Taāmul-e-Ummah. He is only the Mohadith who established the terminology of “Filbāb” in which he gives the words of hadith from a Sahabi and mentions the names of all other sahabies who are rawi of the same hadith. There are many sharh of Tirmizi written by Muhadiseen. Among them Tuhfat ul Ahwazi is famously written by Molana Abdul Rahman Mubarakpuri. He explores the terminologies of Sonan-e-Tirmizi. He discussed uloom ul hadith, books of hadith, Shoroh-ul-hadith, Asma-ul-rejal and ilm ul ansab etc. He mentions tafsiri aqwal, fiqhi problems and usool-e-hadith. He also solved the Tasaholat-e-Tirmizi in validity (sihat) and unvalidity (zouf). He is the first mohadith who tried to find the words of hadith from other sahabies whose names are given in “Filbab”. He did it but could not find the words of 87 ahadith for which he used the term “Lam aqif alaih” and 417 ahadith for which he used the term “Le Yonzar man akhraja haza ul hadith”. This thing makes it distinct from other shoroh of Sūnan-e-Tirmizi. He depends on the usool-e-hadith of forefather Muhadiseen and he did not establish his own usool hadith.
