as well as those who passed through it, giving him experience in many Islamic disciplines.

Hanbali school, but rather followed the course he believed to be proven by the strongestevidences. He was also an expert in tafsir(Quranic exegesis or commentary), having read many

books of tafsir and studied it under his teachers; he later authored a tafsir himself.
