Muhammad Hayyat al-Sindhi (Sindhi: محمد حيات سنڌي) (died 3 February 1750) was an Islamic scholar who lived in Hijaz during the period in which it was part of the Ottoman Empire. He belonged to the Naqshbandi order of Sufism.[7][8]
Education and scholarship
[edit]Al-Sindhi was born in the Sindh region of modern day Pakistan. He traveled locally to get his basic education.[1] Then he migrated to Madinah and studied closely with Ibrahim al-Kurani and his son Muhammad Tahir al-Kurani.[9] Here, he was initiated into the Naqshbandi tariqa.[1]
Notable students
[edit]One of his students was Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, whom he met in 1136 Hijri. It was Abdullah ibn Ibrahim ibn Sayf who introduced him to Hayyat al-Sindhi. Sindhi would make an immense influence on the theological formation of Ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab and his fundamentalist views. Early Wahhabi chroniclers acclaimed Al-Sindhi as “the spark that lighted ibn ʿAbdul Wahhab’s path".[1]
Views
[edit]Although a Hanafi in law, he was also a scholar in the Hanbali school.[1] Al-Sindhi was a major reviver of hadith sciences during the 18th century.[1]
