@ Muzamil husayn. Would u be kind enough to tell me about the hanafi view of Tareekh e Baghdad and Khateeb AL Baghdadi ra?
Assalamu Alaikum If my ears have searved me right then i heard Sheikh Yunus Jaunpuri state that the sohbat Ali Ibn al-Madīnī had with Imam Bukhari no other person had. The words of praise Imam Bukhari had for Ibn al-Madīnī he didnt have for anybody else. It was apparent from his talk that Imam Bukhari held Ali Ibn al-Madīnī in the highest esteem, quite possibly more than anyone else the Imam Sahib had come in contact with. He also said i could not find that level of praise for anybody else in any of the books i have read that Imam Bukhari had for Ibn al-Madīnī.
