This article examines the flourishing of science and culture in Mawarannahr
during the 9th–10th centuries, focusing in particular on the development of hadith
scholarship in Bukhara. It analyzes the life of the renowned scholar Abdullah Subazmuniy
and his pivotal role in the evolution of the Bukhara school of hadith. The article discusses
how Subazmuniy attained the prestigious title “Ustoz” (the Teacher) and his activities
at the Samanid court. It also critically examines the unfounded accusations leveled
against him owing to the biased approach of certain traditionists, while underscoring
the significance of his works in the Islamic world and his contribution to the development
of the Hanafi school.
