		Ahmad memorised the Quran at an early age, and as he was directed by his uncle and his mother to pursue his studies, his serious nature and early pious attitude ensured that he sought to study Fiqh, or Islamic jurisprudence.
		Ahmad's great test of endurance and hardship began towards the end of the reign of the Abbasid Caliph, Al-Ma'moon, when the philosophical school known as Al-Mutazilah was on the ascendance.
		On the journey, the latter scholar died, a martyr, and Ahmad was transported to the Caliph.

	Literalism and the Attributes of Allah
		As for Ibn Hazm, traditional Islamic scholars have not accepted his claims to be a mujtahid, the first qualification of which is to have comprehensive knowledge of the Qur'an and hadith.
		The real (‘aqida) of Imam Ahmad was very simple, and consisted, mainly of tafwid, that is, to consign to Allah the meaning of the mutashabihat or ‘unapparent meanings’ of the Qur'an and hadith, accepting their words as they have come without saying or claiming to know how they are meant.
		Ibn al-Jawzi—who is not to be confused with Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyya—took the question of people associating anthropomorphism with Hanbalism so seriously that he wrote a book, Daf‘ shubah al-tashbih bi akaff al-tanzih [Rebuttal of the insinuations of anthropomorphism at the hands of transcendence], refuting this heresy and exonerating his Imam of any association with it.

		Was Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal an anthropomorphist as is alleged by the Salafis?
		This is very interesting because the anthropomorphists of his day, as well as Ibn Taymiyya in the seventh century after the Hijra, used many ascriptive constructions (idafa) that appear in hadiths and Qur’anic verses as proof that Allah had "attributes" that bolstered their conceptions of Him.
