Yes:

Ibn `Abidin relates in his al Durr al mukhtar that Imam Abu Hanifa said: "If it were not for two years, I would have perished." Ibn `Abidin comments:

For two years he accompanied Sayyidina Ja`far al-Sadiq and he acquired the spiritual knowledge that made him a gnostic in the Way... Abu `Ali Daqqaq (Imam Qushayri's shaykh) received the path from Abu al-Qasim al-Nasirabadi, who received it from al Shibli, who received it from Sari al-Saqati who received it from al Ma`ruf al Karkhi, who received it from Dawud at Ta'i, who received the knowledge, both the external and the internal, from the Imam Abi Hanifa.1

:) is there isnaad also because some of it appears to be weak/fabricated, i.e not mentioned by the earliest scholar.

Imam Shafi's(RA) quote are from his books directly.
Imam Hasan al-Basri(RA) was a very famous Sufi, many early scholars have quote about that.
The quotes are mostly from the great scholars of the Fiqh of the Imam. So their not fabricated or weak, rather they're Sahih.

Perhaps someone else can provide the information on the Isnad in the in depth Tasawwuf section.
