description: "ʾAbū al-Layth Naṣr ibn Muḥammad al-Samarqandī, more commonly known as Abū al-Layth al-Samarqandī, was a renowned Hanafi jurist and Qur'anic exegete from Samarqand in Transoxiana. He lived during the 4th century AH / 10th century CE, a flourishing period of Islamic scholarship in Central Asia. Celebrated as one of the foremost scholars of the Hanafi school, al-Samarqandī became widely known as Imām al-Hudā for his deep knowledge, piety, and influential teaching. His works cover a wide range of disciplines, including fiqh (jurisprudence), tafsīr, ʿaqīdah (creed), and spiritual ethics, reflecting the intellectual and moral concerns of his era. Among his many contributions, his Tafsīr al-Samarqandī stands as his most celebrated and enduring work, a comprehensive commentary that combines traditional reports with linguistic, theological, and juristic insights. Through his writings and teachings, Abū al-Layth al-Samarqandī profoundly shaped the development of Hanafi thought and remains a revered figure in the Islamic scholarly tradition."
