Born of an Arab family who supported Abu al-`Abbas al-Saffah in taking power against the Umayyads , Ibn Hanbal was a contemporary of the two caliphs who wanted to impose motazilisme which advocated the belief in the creation of the Koran. The Caliph Al-Ma `mun , then a military campaign, had him arrested and tortured for two years. Al-Ma `mun dies before the meeting. Released, Ibn Hanbal in Baghdad continued to teach until Al-Wathiq that will renew the persecution.
