Abū Zayd al-Dabūsī; he is Abd Allāh, or Ubaid Allāh ibn Umar ibn ‘Īsa al-Dabūsi al-Bukhārī Hanafī al-Qadī (عبد الله أو عبيد الله بن عمر بن عيسى الدّبوسي البخاري الحنفي القاضي); a founding jurist and most eminent scholar of the Hanafī school in the eleventh century.[citation needed] His reputation for learning was proverbial. He established the science of dialectics supporting his analysis and argument on examples extracted from scripture. He composed several taalīkas.[n 1] Among his writings were Asrār ('Mysteries')[n 2] and the Takwīm lil Adilla (‘system of demonstrations’) [n 3]. Ad-Dabūsi died in the city of Bukhara in 430 AH / 1038–9.

The name Dabūsi derives from the town Dabūsiya, which lies between Bukhāra and Samarkand, and from where a number of scholars hailed.
