Please find enclosed below a scan from the Thabat (list of the established chains of transmission in various works) of probably the last of the great Huffaz in hadith from the Hanafi Madhhab: Imam Muhammad Abid al-Sindi al-Ayyubi al-Madani. The Thabat was entitled Hasr al-Sharid min Asanid Muhammad Abid . The Shaykh was originally from Sind, present day being around the Karachi side of Pakistan. He died in 1257 AH.
In the printed edition,( vol. 2/p. 670, no. 1315) there is a unique sanad (chain of transmission) listed where most of those in the sanad (chain of transmission) were known Ash'arites.
The sanad in the scan reached the Hafiz Abdi al-Sindi via the unique Musalsal style, and onwards to us. In it I have highlighted how precisely the sanad going back to Imam Abul Hasan al-Ash'ari consists of well known Shafi'ite Doctors of Hadith with the appellation "Ash'ari" straight after their names. This appellation to the Ash'arite school was directly voiced in to the continuous sanad by the very Imams like:
Al-Qadi Zakariyya al-Ansari , who was a very well known student of al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar in Hadith, living to around 100 years of age (see the Reliance of the Traveller for his biography)
The Amir al-Mu'minin in Hadith in his age, al-Hafiz Ahmed ibn Hajar al-Asqalani al-Shafi'i al-Ash'ari
The Hafiz of Sham, Abul Qasim ibn Asakir al-Dimashqi
and others
