What controversy led to Muhammad al-Bukhari's exile from Nishapur?
Claims that the Quran was created
His disagreements with the ruler
His new interpretations of Hadith
His refusal to lead Friday prayers
Answer
Muhammad al-Bukhari, the renowned Muslim scholar and compiler of hadith, was exiled from Nishapur due to the controversy surrounding his views on the Quran. Bukhari held the belief that the Quran was created, a position that contradicted the widely accepted notion among Muslims that the Quran was uncreated and eternal. This theological difference led to fierce opposition and accusations of heresy, resulting in Bukhari's banishment from Nishapur.
