The passing of Imam Hadrat Abu Bakr (Radiyallahu Anhu) رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ Ahmad ibn al-Husayn al-Bayhaqi, one of the most prolific hadith scholars in Islamic history. He authored the monumental Al-Sunan al-Kubra (10 volumes), Shu'ab al-Iman (branches of faith), and Dala'il al-Nubuwwah (proofs of Prophethood).
