Of Mā warā'u'n-nahr also was Khwāja Ismā\`īl \_Khartank\_, the author of the \_Ṣāḥiḥ-i-bukhārī\_.\[355\] From the Farghāna district, Marghīnān—Farghāna, though at the limit of settled habitation, is included in Mā warā'u'n-nahr,—came the author of the \_Hidāyat\_,\[356\] a book than which few on Jurisprudence are more honoured in the sect of Abū Ḥanīfa.
