As-salamu alaikum,
I have a question regarding the following: was Imam Abu Hanifa (rahmutallah alayh) referring to usul al-fiqh or was he referring to the teaching of the basic aspects of the deen?
It was once said to Imam Abu Hanifa, "In such and such a mosque there is a circle that discusses fiqh (lit. the "understanding of fine points of the religion")".
He asked, "Do they have a master over them?" and they said no.
He said, "They will never understand"
(Ibn Muflih, al-Adab al-shariyya wa al-minah al-mariyya. 3 vols. Cairo n.d. Reprint. Cairo: Maktaba Ibn Taymiya, 1398/1978, 3.374).
