Summary
The biographers counted the qadi Abu Bakr al-Baqillani 'the sword of the Sunna' and, on the soundest view, the mujaddid of the fourth Hijri century — some said the renewal was shared with Abu Sahl al-Su'luki. He was scrupulous: no lapse or fault was recorded of him, and the Shadharat quotes Ibn Taymiyya calling him 'the best of the mutakallimun attached to al-Ash'ari, with no equal before or after him' 1.
