I have to do it in portions. I'm only one person with bad eyesight and slow typing fingers.

[Sulaiman84]

In continuation of Imam Abu Hanifah's jurisprudential skill in light of other Imam's views from the book 'Uqudul Jamman fee manaqibil Imamil A'tham Abi Hanifata An-Nu'man



(22) Abu Ja'far Razi

Khatib narrates that ‘Abdullah Ibn Ja’far Razi said: “I haven’t seen a greater Faqih and a more pious man than Abu Hanifah rahmatullahi ‘alaih.”

(23) Fudail Ibn ‘Iyad

Khatib narrates that Fudail Ibn ‘Iyad said: “Abu Hanifah was a great jurist. He was renowned for his Fiqh and piety. He was very affluent and this affluence was bestowed upon those who used to frequent his Majlis. He was a very famous personage. Day and night he was patiently engrossed in imparting religious education. He was a very silent man but when any issue concerning lawful and unlawful cropped up, he would most skillfully and corroboratively establish the truth. He would stay very far away from kings and rulers.”

(24) Imam Abu Yusuf

Khatib narrates that Imam Abu Yusuf said: “I make Du’a for Abu Hanifah even before I make Du’a for my parents because I heard Abu Hanifah saying that he makes Du’a for Imam Hammad (his Ustad) even before he makes Du’a for his parents.”

Saymari narrates that Yahya Ibn Aktham said: “Whenever Imam Abu Yusuf was asked about any injunction, he would respond to it and add: “This is the opinion of Imam Abu Hanifah rahmatullahi ‘alaih and he who makes Abu Hanifah an intermediary between himself and Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala, he will turn out to be sincere in his Din.”

(25) Yahya Ibn Aktham

Saymari narrates that Yahya Ibn Aktham said: “The people were always of the opinion that Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala had bestowed Abu Hanifah with Fiqh, religious knowledge coupled with a practical implementation, generosity and Quranic character.”

Saymari narrates that Yahya Ibn Aktham also said: “Abu Hanifah was a true successor of the past saints. By Allah! There was no successor on th face of the earth like him.”

(26) Imam A’mash

Khatib narrates that Abu ‘Ibad Hanafi said: “Imam A’mash asked Imam Abu Yusuf, Why did your Ustad, Imam Abu Hanifah abandon that statement of ‘Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud wherein he says: ‘The freeing of a bondswoman is tantamount to her divorce?” Imam Abu Yusuf replied: “Because of the Hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam gave her the option of selecting her husband of her days of slavery or her own freedom. She opted for her own freedom.” To this A’mash replied: “Abu Hanifah is a very intelligent man.” In other words, he found this analogy of Imam Sahib to be very remarkable.”

Y’aqub bib Shaybah narrates that when Imam A’mash was asked about a certain injunction, he said: “A better reply to this question can be furnished by N’uman Ibn Thabit. I am confident of the fact that great blessing was bestowed to his ‘Ilm.”

(27) Fadl Ibn Musa Sinani

Abu Y’aqub Makki narrates that Yahya Ibn Adam said: “I once asked Fadl Ibn Musa Sinani of his opinion regarding those who were engaged in vilifying and verbally abusing Imam Abu Hanifah rahmatullahi ‘alaih. He responded: Abu Hanifah presented the people with such a science which they were unaware of. Hence, the people started seething with jealousy.”

(28) ‘Abdullah Ibn Yazid Muqri

Khatib narrates that Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman ‘Abdullah Ibn Yazid Muqri said: “I haven’t witnessed a dark-headed Faqih (jurist) as remarkable as Abu Hanifah.”

Khatib Baghdadi narrates that Bishr Ibn Musa said: “Whenever ‘Abdullah Ibn Yazid Muqri used to narrate Hadith of Abu Hanifah, he used to say, ‘the king of kings narrated to us…’”


(29) Wak’i Ibn Jarrah

Khatib narrates that Wak’i Ibn Jarrah said: “I haven’t witnessed a Faqih nor a person performing Salah as remarkable as Abu Hnifah rahmatullahi ‘alaih.”


(30) Yahya Ibn Ma’in

Saymari narrates that Yahya Ibn Ma’in said: “There were (only) four (most outstanding) Fuqaha (jurists); Imam Abu Hanifah, Sufyan Thawri, Imam Malik and Imam Awza’i rahmatullahi ‘alaihim.”

Yahya Ibn Ma’in is also reported to have said: “According to me, the most reliable and most esteemed Qirat is the Qirat of Hamzah and in Fiqh, the Fiqh of Abu Hanifah rahmatullahi ‘alaih. I have found the predecessors to hold the same view as well.”

When Yahya Ibn Ma’in was asked whether Sufyan Thawri narrated any Hadith from Abu Hanifah, he said: “Surely, he narrated from him. Abu Hanifah was a very reliable narrator and most truthful in expounding the laws of Fiqh. In regards to the Din of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala, he was most trusted.”

Abu Ya’qub Yusuf ibn Ahmad Makki narrates that ‘Abdullah Ibn Ahmad Ibn Ibrahim Dawraqi said: “When Yahya Ibn Ma’in was asked about Abu Hanifah, I was listening as he replied: “He is reliable in terms of accepting Ahadith from him. I haven’t heard any of the Muhaddithin portraying him to be unreliable. Look at the case of Shu’bah when he writes to Abu Hanifah requesting him to explain a few Ahadith. And Shu’bah is after all Shu’bah. (In other words, in the field of Hadith, he is of a very eminent rank.)”

If I remember correctly, Allamah Shibli Numani mentions that the scholar who wrote the book was a Shafi` who wanted to research Imam Abu Hanifa and see why he was so loved, and decided upon his research that the title "Imam al-A`dham" was truly deserved.

Abu usamah showed one side of the argument which has been refuted by Hanafis throughout the centuries , so what he is saying is not some random lie he made .

they are actual statements by scholars of the time of abu hanifa contemptories or Ulema of a High rank .

But this is deen of balance and there are more counter arguments and hence i don't take his opinion rather i take the other opinion that he was not weak in hadith.

The way i look at the argument is that what abu usamah is saying is true yes ulema did say those things but what i blame him for is for not giving the counter argument for each statement

Sister,

AU is an Imam at an Ahl-e-Hadeeth Mosque and he is picking the topic on purpose.

Why doesn't he give similar lectures on other Salaf?
Why not on Shaykh Al-Albani (RA)?
Why not on other Ahl-e-Hadeeth Scholars of India/Pakistan?

His topics are very carefully selected and I have observed him and his body language very carefully.
