ghumari was a prolific writer, having authored more than one-hundred books. he was well known for a debate which acrimoniously began between him and fellow hadith scholar muhammad nasiruddin al-albani, and later continued with between ghumari's younger brother abdullah and albani. despite the older ghumari's attestation to albani's high level of knowledge and respected status in hadith studies, the nature of the debate between them became personal and involved character attacks.
