'''Abu Bakr Muhammad b. al-Yamān al-Samarqandi''' () was a [[Hanafi]] scholar from [[Samarqand]], who combined both [[feqh]] and [[kalam]]. He paved the way for his compatriot [[Abu Mansur al-Maturidi]] (d. 333/944).<ref></ref>

== Biography ==
Available sources furnish no information concerning his life.

== Works ==
The sources mention the titles of four of his works:<ref></ref>
* '''Kitab al-Anwar'''.
* '''Kitab al-I'tisam''', was simply dedicated to [[hadith]].
* '''Kitab al-Radd 'ala [[al-Karramiyya]]''', a refutation of the [[Karramites]] (al-Karramiyya).
* '''Kitab Ma'alim al-Din''' ('The Lineaments of the Faith'), the title of the book would seem to present the possibility of directly accessing [[theological]] discussions. But a look at the manuscript shows that the theme of the text is completely different. It is confined strictly to argumentation on questions of law, without a single word on theology. There is a manuscript of this book in [[Mashhad]].

== Death ==
Abu Bakr died in the year 268/881–2 after presumably spending his entire life in his hometown of [[Samarqand]].<ref></ref>
