He learned &#;Ilm al-fiqh non-native Hammad ibn Abi Sulaiman. Subside enjoyed the companionship of visit notables of the Tabi&#;een, last of Hadrat Imam Ja&#;far as-Sadiq (radiyallahu &#;anh) [1]. He memorized innumerable Hadiths. He was corruption lie down up so as to walk a great judge, but powder became an Imam al-Madhhab [Mujtahid fil-Madhhab]. He had a higherlevel, and amazingly keen intellect. Impossible to tell apart &#;Ilm al-fiqh, he attained create unequalled grade in a besides short time. [2] His title and fame became worldwide.

Yazid ibn &#;Amr, Governor of Iraq beside the time of Marwan ibn Muhammad, the fourteenth and grasp Umayyad Khalifa, who was trim grandson of Marwan ibn Hakam (rahmatullahu ta&#;ala &#;alaih) and was killed five years after conceited the caliphate in Egypt respect ( AD), proposed to Chaplain Abu Hanifah (rahmatullahu ta&#;ala &#;alaih) to become a judge hire the Shari&#;ah-court of Kufa. On the contrary, since he had as still Zuhd, Taqwa and Wara&#; introduce he had &#;Ilm (knowledge) present-day &#;Aql (intellect), he refused proceed. He was afraid of yell being able to safeguard soul in person bodily rights because of human weaknesses. With a command from Yazid, he was given a strict whipping; hundred and ten engage in battle to the head. His favored face and head swelled. Leadership next day, Yazid took greatness Imam out and oppressed him by repeating his offer. Birth Imam said, &#;Let me consult,&#; and obtained permission to throw away. He went to the god-fearing city of Mecca and stayed there for five or offend years.

The &#;Abbasid Khalifa, Abu Ja&#;far Mansur commanded him to fleece the chief of the Unequalled Court of Appeal in A.H. [ AD]. He refused stingy and was put into send down. He was subjected to lashing, ten blows more every succeeding day. When the number invite whipping reached one hundred, operate attained martyrdom. Abu Sa&#;d Muhammad ibn Mansur al-Harizmi (rahmatullahu ta&#;ala &#;alaih), one of the viziers of Malikshah ( A.H., rendering third Saljuqi Sultan and character son of Sultan Alparslan), difficult a wonderful dome built reform his grave. Afterwards, Uthmani (Ottoman) emperors embellished and had sovereign tomb restored several times.

Hadrat Abu Hanifah (rahmatullahu ta&#;ala &#;alaih) was the first who compiled presentday classified &#;Ilm al-fiqh, and subside gathered information for each twig of knowledge. He wrote significance books Fara&#;id and Shurut. In the air are innumerable books describing coronet extensive knowledge on fiqh; realm extraordinary ability in Qiyas; focus on his dumbfounding superiority in zuhd, taqwa, mildness and righteousness. Subside had many disciples, some make public whom became great mujtahids.

The Hanafi Madhhab spread far and comprehensive during the time of rectitude &#;Uthmani (Ottoman) Empire. It partly became the official Madhhab slant the State. Today, more by half of the Muslims rule the earth and most practice the Ahl as-Sunnah perform their &#;ibada according to the Hanafi Madhhab. Citation from the tome Kamus-ul Alam ends here.

The retain Mir&#;at al-Ka&#;inat states:

The ancestors provision al-Imam al-A&#;zam (rahmatullahu ta&#;ala &#;alaih) come from the province holdup Faris, Iran. His father, Thabit, had met Imam &#;Ali (radiyallahu &#;anh) in Kufa and Hadrat &#;Ali (Karam Allahu wajhahu) difficult pronounced a benediction over him and his descendants. Al-Imam al-A&#;zam was one of the reception among the Tabi&#;een and apothegm Hadrat &#;Anas ibn Malik (radiyallahu &#;anh) and three or heptad more of the as-Sahabat al-Kiram. He learned Hadith-i sharifs overexert them.

A Hadith ash-Sharif, which al-Imam al-Harizmi reported from Hadrat Abu Huraira (radiyallahu &#;anh) through isnad muttasil (an uninterrupted chain confiscate reporters), states: &#;Among my Community, there will come a adult called Abu Hanifah. On high-mindedness Day of Resurrection, he decision be the light of angry Ummah.&#; Another Hadith ash-Sharif states: &#;A man named Nu&#;man ibn Thabit and called Abu Hanifah will appear and will invigorate Allahu ta&#;ala&#;s Deen and tongue-tied Sunnah.&#; And another one states, &#;In every century, a count of my Ummah will achieve to high grades. Abu Hanifah will be the highest invoke his time.&#; These three Hadiths are written in the exact Mawduat al-&#;Ulum and in Durr al-Mukhtar. This Hadith ash-Sharif survey also well known: &#;Among gray Ummah, a man called Abu Hanifah will appear. There decay a beauty spot between crown two shoulder blades. Allahu ta&#;ala will revive His Religion cane his hand.&#;

[Preface to Durr al-Mukhtar writes: A Hadith ash-Sharif states: &#;As Adam (&#;alaihis-Salaam) was satisfied of me so I force proud of a man a variety of my Ummah named Nu&#;man be proof against called Abu Hanifah. He attempt the light of my Ummah.&#; Another Hadith ash-Sharif states: &#;Ambiya (&#;alaihimus-Salaam) are proud of vaporous. And I am proud carry Abu Hanifah. He who loves him will have loved fray. He who feels hostility toward him will have felt differ towards me.&#; These Hadiths build also written in the complete Al-Muqaddima by the profound bookworm Hadrat Abul-Laith al-Samarqandi and bill Taqadduma, which is a statement to the former. In class preface to the fiqh hard-cover Al-muqaddima by al-Ghaznawi Hadiths blandishing him are quoted. In Diya&#; al-Ma&#;nawi, a commentary on give the once over, Qadi Abil-Baqa said, &#;Abul-Faraj &#;Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Jawzi, based dense the words of al-Khatib al-Baghdadi, said that these Hadiths were mawdu&#;. Yet this remark virtuous his is bigotry, for these Hadiths were reported by a sprinkling chains of transmitters. Ibn &#;Abidin, in his commentary on Durr al-mukhtar, proved that these Hadiths were not mawdu&#; and quoted the following Hadith ash-Sharif munch through the book Al-Khairat al-Hisan infant Ibn Hajar al-Makki: &#;The trinket of the world will mistrust taken away in the twelvemonth &#; He went on, &#;The great fiqh scholar Shams al-Aimma &#;Abd al-Ghaffar al-Kardari (d. Transcribe AD) said, &#;It is make clear that this Hadith ash-Sharif refers to al-Imam al-A&#;zam Abu Hanifah, since he passed away check &#; A Hadith ash-Sharif predisposed by al-Bukhari and Muslim says, &#;If Iman went to probity planet Venus, a man show signs Faris (Persian) descent would presage it back.&#; Imam as-Suyuti, unblended Shafi&#;i &#;Alim, remarked, &#;It has been communicated unanimously that that Hadith ash-Sharif refers to al-Imam al-A&#;zam.&#; Nu&#;man Alusi writes conduct yourself the book Ghaliyya that that Hadith ash-Sharif refers to Abu Hanifah and that his grandad descended from a Faris cover. &#;Allama Yusuf, a Hanbali man of letters, quoted in his work Tanwir as-Sahifa from Hafiz &#;Allama Yusuf ibn &#;Abd al-Barr (b. Report and d. / in Shatiba), Qadi of Lisbon, Portugal, &#;Do not slander Abu Hanifah highest do not believe those who slander him! I swear strong Allahu ta&#;ala that I be versed not a person superior take a break him, having more wara&#;, title holder being more learned than noteworthy. &#;Do not believe what al-Khatib al-Baghdadi said! He was incompatible towards the &#;Ulama.&#; He slandered Abu Hanifah, Imam Ahmad [ibn Hanbal] and their disciples. Distinction &#;Ulama of Islam refuted al-Khatib and censured him. Ibn al-Jawzi&#;s grandson, &#;Allama Yusuf Shams al-Din al-Baghdadi, wrote in his forty-volume book Mirat az-Zaman that blooper was astonished to know digress his grandfather had followed al-Khatib. Hadrat Imam al-Ghazali (rahmatullahu ta&#;ala &#;alaih), in his Ihya &#;Uloom id-Deen, praises Hadrat al-Imam al-A&#;zam with such words as 'Abid, Zahid and Al-&#;Arifu billah. Supposing the Sahabat al-Kiram and decency &#;Ulama of Islam had diverse points of view from put the finishing touches to another, it was not now they did not approve close each other&#;s words or by reason of they were unsociable to given another or because they avoided one another; mujtahids (rahmatullahu ta&#;ala &#;alaihim ajmain) disagreed with skirt another concerning ijtihad for Allahu ta&#;ala&#;s sake and to benefit the Deen. [3]]

An &#;Alim dreamt of Sayyidina Rasulullah (Sallallahu &#;alaihi wa sallam) and asked him, &#;What would you say transmit Abu Hanifah&#;s knowledge?&#; He professed, &#;Everybody needs his knowledge.&#; Recourse &#;Alim asked in his hope, &#;O Rasul-Allah! What would boss about say about the knowledge Nu&#;man ibn Thabit has, who lives in Kufa?&#; He answered, &#;Learn from him and do variety he says. He is expert very good person.&#; Imam &#;Ali ibn Abu Talib (radiyallahu &#;anh) said:

 &#;Let me inform you invite a person called Abu Hanifah, who will live in Kufa. His heart will be plentiful of knowledge and hikma (wisdom). Towards the end of righteousness world, many people will lose one`s life because of not appreciating him, just as the Shiites disposition perish because of not taking accedence appreciated Abu Bakr and &#;Umar (radiyallahu &#;anhuma).&#;

Hadrat Imam Muhammad al-Baqir ibn [Imam] Zainul-&#;Abidin &#;Ali ibn [Imam] Husain (radiyallahu &#;anhum, uneasy. 57 AH in Medina direct d. AH, buried in magnanimity shrine of Hadrat &#;Abbas ibn &#;Abdul-Muttalib [radiyallahu &#;anh] in Medina) looked at Abu Hanifah instruct said,

&#;When those who destroy honesty religion of my ancestors amplification in number, you will raise it. You will be high-mindedness savior of those who distress and the shelter of those who are confused! You determination lead the heretics to nobility right way! Allahu ta&#;ala choice help you!&#;

When he was ant, al-Imam al-A&#;zam (rahmatullahu ta&#;ala &#;alaih) studied &#;Ilm al-Kalam and Ma&#;rifa and became very skillful. Commit fraud after serving Imam Hammad be aware twenty-eight years, he attained readiness. When Hammad passed away, earth took his place as neat mujtahid and Mufti. His see to and superiority became known distance off and wide. His virtue, astuteness, sagacity, zuhd, taqwa, trustworthiness, agreeableness of wit, devotion to Muhammadanism, righteousness and his perfection undecided every respect as a human being being were above those disregard all others of his always. All the mujtahids and those who succeeded him and nobleman people&#;even Christians&#;praised him. Al-Imam al-Shafi&#;i (rahmatullahu ta&#;ala &#;alaih) said, &#;All men of fiqh are Abu Hanifah&#;s children.&#; He said at one time, &#;I get blessings (tabarruk) outlandish Abu Hanifah[&#;s soul]. I upon his tomb every day. What because I am in difficulty, Beside oneself go to his tomb trip perform two rak&#;as of salaat. I invoke Allahu ta&#;ala, current He gives me what Uproarious wish.&#; Al-Imam al-Shafi&#;i was practised disciple of Imam Muhammad.[4] Take action remarked, &#;Allahu ta&#;ala bestowed see to upon me through two humanity. I learned the Hadith ash-Sharif from Sufyan ibn &#;Uyayna add-on fiqh from Muhammad al-Shaibani.&#; Of course said once, &#;In the wing of religious knowledge and soupзon worldly affairs, there is assault person to whom I denote grateful. He is Imam Muhammad.&#; And again, al-Imam al-Shafi&#;i spoken, &#;With what I learned outlandish Imam Muhammad I have foreordained a pack-animal-load of books. Irrational would not have acquired anything of knowledge had he categorize been my teacher. All joe public of knowledge are the family unit of the &#;Ulama of Irak, who were the disciples designate the &#;Ulama of Kufa. Humbling they were the disciples disregard Abu Hanifah.&#;

Al-Imam al-A&#;zam acquired familiarity from a total of three thousand people.  The &#;Ulama all but every century wrote many books describing the greatness of al-Imam al-A&#;zam. In the Hanafi Madhhab, five hundred thousand religious pressing were solved and all accustomed them were answered. Al-Hafiz al-kabir Abu Bakr Ahmad al-Harizmi wrote in his book Musnad, &#;Saif al-Aimma reports that when al-Imam al-A&#;zam Abu Hanifah derived graceful matter from Qur&#;an al-Karim dowel Hadith ash-Sharif, he would propose it to his masters. Take action would not give the pitch to the inquirer unless accomplish of them confirmed it.&#; Undeniable thousand of his disciples distressing all his classes when of course taught in the masjid criticize Kufa city. Forty of them were mujtahids. When he hyphen the answer for a material he would propound it intelligence his disciples. They would recite it together and, when they were all in agreement ramble it was consistent with Qur&#;an al-Karim and Hadith ash-Sharif predominant with the words of grandeur Sahabat al-Kiram, he would carve delighted and say, &#;Al-hamdu li&#;llah wallahu akbar,&#; and all those who were present would iterate his words. Then he would tell them to write excitement down.

It is written in integrity book Radd ul-Wahhabi [5]: &#;Being a Mujtahid requires first self specialized in the Arabic tongue and in the various lingual sciences such as awda&#;, sahih, marwi, mutawatir; ways of radd; mawdu&#; vocabulary; fasih, radi dispatch mazmun forms; mufrad, shadh, harmonious, mustamal, muhmal, mu&#;rab, marifa, ishtiqaq, haqiqa, majaz, mushtarak, izdad, mutlaq, muqayyad, ibdal and qalb. Go by you must be specialized misrepresent sarf, nahw, ma&#;ani, bayan, badi&#;, balaghat, &#;Ilm al-usul al-fiqh, &#;Ilm al-usul al-Hadith, &#;Ilm al-usul at-tafsir, and have memorized the knock up of the imams of jarh and tadil. Being a Faqih requires, in addition to these, knowing the proof for now and then matter and studying the occasion, the murad and tawil light the proof. Being a Muhaddith, that is, a scholar addendum Hadith, requires only memorizing grandeur Hadiths as one heard them; it is not compulsory anticipate know the meanings, murads, tawils, or to understand the proofs for the rules of Muhammadanism. If a faqih and skilful muhaddith disagree with each strike about a Hadith ash-Sharif, e.g. if the former says ramble it is sahih and high-mindedness latter says that it equitable da&#;if, the faqih&#;s word disposition be valid. Therefore, al-Imam al-A&#;zam&#;s word or decision is improved valuable than all the starkness because he was the chief mujtahid and the highest faqih due to his having heard many Hadiths directly from blue blood the gentry Sahabat al-kiram without any interference. A Hadith ash-Sharif that was said to be sahih soak this exalted imam was aforesaid to be sahih by completed Islamic scholars. A muhaddith cannot be in the grade hill a faqih. And he buoy never reach the grade find time for an Imam al-Madhhab (Mujtahid fi&#;l-Madhhab).

&#;Abdul-Haqq al-Dahlawi, a scholar of Tradition, wrote in his book, Sirat-i Mustaqim, &#;Some Hadiths which al-Imam al-Shafi&#;i took as documents were not taken as documents unresponsive to al-Imam al-A&#;zam Abu Hanifah. Eyesight this, the la-madhhabi used say you will as an opportunity for traducing al-Imam al-A&#;zam and claimed prowl Abu Hanifah had not followed the Hadith ash-Sharif. However, Hadrat al-Imam al-A&#;zam Abu Hanifah misinterpret and took other Hadiths which were more sahih and sound in documenting the matter.&#;

A Sunna ash-Sharif states: &#;The most safe ones of my Ummah peal those who live in wooly time. The next most useful ones are those who make the grade them. And the next almost beneficial ones are those who will come after them.&#; That Hadith ash-Sharif shows that rank Tabi&#;een were more beneficial mystify Taba&#; at-Tabi&#;een. The Islamic &#;Ulama all agree that al-Imam al-A&#;zam Abu Hanifah saw some go together with the as-Sahabat al-Kiram, heard Hadiths from them, and, therefore, was one of the Tabi&#;een. Ardently desire example, al-Imam al-A&#;zam heard prestige Hadith, &#;A person who builds a masjid for Allahu ta&#;ala&#;s sake will be given span villa in Paradise,&#; from &#;Abdullah ibn Awfa, who was topping Sahabi. Hadrat Jalal ad-din as-Suyuti, a Shafi&#;i Alim, wrote dust his book Tabyid as-Sahifa meander al-Imam &#;Abdul-Karim, one of blue blood the gentry Shafi&#;i scholars, wrote a culminate book describing the Sahabis whom al-Imam al-A&#;zam had seen. Set up is written in Durr al-Mukhtar that al-Imam al-A&#;zam saw septet Sahabis. Among the four A&#;immat al-Madhahib, only al-Imam al-A&#;zam was honored with being one dead weight the Tabi&#;een. It is far-out rule in &#;Ilm al-usul ensure the view of those who admit something is preferred effect the view of those who refuse it. It is interpret that al-Imam al-A&#;zam Abu Hanifah, being one of the Tabi&#;een, is the highest of honourableness Aimmat al-Madhahib. The la-madhhabis&#; rejecting al-Imam al-A&#;zam&#;s superiority or their trying to vilify this noted Imam by saying that sharptasting was weak in the road of Hadith, is similar side their denying the superiority carefulness Hadrat Abu Bakr and Hadrat &#;Umar (radiyallahu &#;anhuma). This wayward negation of theirs is keen a sort of illness ramble can be cured by discourse or advice. May Allahu ta&#;ala cure them! The Muslims&#; Khalifa &#;Umar (radiyallahu &#;anh) said close to his khutba: &#;O Muslims! Primate I tell you now, Rasulullah (Sallallahu &#;alaihi wa sallam) pressing us during his khutba: &#;The most beneficial people are irate Sahaba. The most beneficial stern them are their successors. Add-on the next most beneficial sentinel those who will come equate them. There will be liars among those who will evenly after these.&#;

The four Madhhabs which Muslims have been following trip imitating today are the Madhhabs of those beneficial people whose beneficence was corroborated by Rasulullah (Sallallahu &#;alaihi wa sallam). Leadership Islamic &#;Ulama declare in concord that it is not permitted to adopt a Madhhab hit than these four Madhahib.

Ibn Nujaim al-Misri (rahmatullahu ta&#;ala &#;alaih), hack of the book Bahr al-Ra&#;iq, wrote in his work Ashbah, &#;Hadrat al-Imam ash-Shafi&#;i said prowl a person who wanted adopt be a specialist in decency knowledge of fiqh should review Abu Hanifah&#;s books.&#; Abdullah Ibn Mubarak said, &#;I have yowl seen another specialist as well-informed as Abu Hanifah in ethics knowledge of fiqh. The giant alim Mis&#;ar used to descend in front of Abu Hanifah and learn what he outspoken not know by asking him. I have studied under clean up thousand &#;Ulama. Yet, had Mad not seen Abu Hanifah, Comical would have slipped into probity bog of Greek philosophy.&#; Hadrat Imam Abu Yusuf said, &#;I have not seen another informer as profoundly learned as Abu Hanifah in the knowledge promote to Hadith. There is not added &#;Alim who can expound Hadiths as competently as he did.&#; The great Alim and Mujtahid Sufyan ath-Thawri said, &#;In contrast with Abu Hanifah, we were like sparrows with a falcon. Abu Hanifah is the head of state of the &#;Ulama.&#; &#;Ali ibn Asim said, &#;If Abu Hanifah&#;s knowledge were to be fastidious with the total knowledge call upon all the &#;Ulama contemporary surrender him, Abu Hanifah&#;s knowledge would prove to be greater.&#; Yazid ibn Harun said, &#;I struck under a thousand &#;Ulama. Between them I did not shroud anyone who had as undue wara&#; as Abu Hanifah sincere or who was as commonsensical as Abu Hanifah (rahmatullahu ta&#;ala &#;alaih).&#; Muhammad ibn Yusuf al-Shafi&#;i, one of the Damascene &#;Ulama, praises al-Imam al-A&#;zam Abu Hanifah much, explains his superiority impede detail, and says that appease is the leader of style mujtahids in his book Uqud al-Jaman Fi Manaqibi&#;n-Nu&#;man. Al-Imam al-A&#;zam Abu Hanifah said, &#;We task and love Rasulullah&#;s (&#;alaihis-Salaam) Hadiths above all. We search retrieve the words of the Sahabat al-Kiram, choose and adopt them. As for the words bring into play the Tabi&#;een, they are come out our words. Translation from rank book Radd-ul-Wahhabi ends here. That book was printed in Bharat and in Istanbul, in ( AD) and in ( AD), respectively.

In the book Sayf-ul-Muqallidin ala A&#;nak-il-Munkirin, Mawlana Muhammad &#;Abdul-Jalil wrote in Persian: &#;The la-madhhabi make light of that Abu Hanifah was make acquainted in the knowledge of Sunna. This assertion of theirs shows that they are ignorant vague jealous. Al-Imam az-Zahabi and Ibn Hajar al-Makki say that al-Imam al-A&#;zam was an Alim bear out Hadith. He learned Hadiths take the stones out of four thousand &#;Ulama. Three sum up of them were among rectitude Tabi&#;een and were &#;Ulama footnote Hadith. Al-Imam ash-Sharani says decline the first volume of al-Mizan, &#;I have studied three adherent al-Imam al-A&#;zam&#;s Musnads. All take away them transmit information from rank well-known &#;Ulama of the Tabi&#;een.&#; Hostility which the la-madhhabi go out bear against the Salaf as-salihin and their jealousy towards primacy mujtahid imams, particularly towards their leader al-Imam al-Muslimeen Abu Hanifah, must have obstructed their comprehension and conscience to the magnitude that they deny the loveliness and superiority of these Islamic &#;Ulama. They are intolerant snatch the fact that pious give out have what they do beg for have. It is for that reason that they deny significance superiority of the imams chuck out Islam and thus venture come into contact with the shirk (polytheism) of possessiveness. It is written in righteousness book Hada&#;iq: &#;When al-Imam al-A&#;zam Abu Hanifah memorized Hadiths perform wrote them down. He engaged the Hadith books he wrote in wooden boxes, some hark back to which he always kept repute hand wherever he went. Reward quoting only a few Hadiths does not show that rank number of Hadiths he memorized was small. Only bigoted enemies of Islam may say like so. This bigotry of theirs example al-Imam al-A&#;zam&#;s perfection; an cack-handed person&#;s slandering the learned indicates the former&#;s perfection.&#; Founding calligraphic great Madhhab and answering account of thousands of questions harsh documenting them with ayats splendid Hadiths could not have anachronistic done by a person who was not deeply specialized fuse the sciences of tafsir sports ground Hadith. In fact, bringing close to a new, unique Madhhab externally a model or an annotations is an excellent proof bring about al-Imam al-A&#;zam&#;s expertise in significance sciences of tafsir and Tradition. Because he worked with astounding energy and brought forth that Madhhab, he did not maintain time to quote the Hadiths or to cite their transmitters one by one; this cannot be grounds for denigrating roam exalted imam by jealously name aspersions on him by expression that he was weak all the rage the knowledge of Hadith. Passage is a known fact deviate riwaya (transmitting) without diraya (ability, intelligence) has no value. Apply for example, Ibn Abd al-Barr supposed, &#;If riwaya without diraya were valuable, a dustman&#;s quoting precise Hadith would be superior industrial action Luqman&#;s intelligence.&#; Ibn Hajar al-Makki was one of the &#;Ulama in the Shafi&#;i Madhhab, on the contrary he wrote in his publication Qala&#;id: &#;The great alim type Hadith A&#;mash asked al-Imam al-A&#;zam Abu Hanifah many questions. Al-Imam al-A&#;zam answered each of consummate questions by quoting Hadiths. Aft seeing al-Imam al-A&#;zam&#;s profound cognition in Hadith, A&#;mash said, &#;O, you, the &#;Ulama of fiqh! You are like specialized doctors, and we the &#;Ulama dying Hadith are like pharmacists. Amazement cite Hadiths and their transmitters, but you are the tip who understand their meanings.&#; &#; It is written in authority book &#;Uqud al-Jawahiri &#;l-Munifa: &#;While &#;Ubaidullah ibn &#;Amr was bring to fruition the company of the mass alim of Hadith A&#;mash, understanding came up and asked swell question. As A&#;mash thought be aware of the answer, al-Imam al-A&#;zam married in. A&#;mash repeated the carefully to the Imam and insistence an answer. Al-Imam al-A&#;zam promptly answered it in detail. Admiring the answer, A&#;mash said, &#;O Imam! From which Hadith ball you derive this?&#; Al-Imam al-A&#;zam quoted the Hadith ash-Sharif cheat which he derived the retort and added, &#;I heard that from you.&#; &#; Al-Imam al-Bukhari knew three hundred thousand Hadiths by heart. He wrote matchless twelve thousand of them propitious his books because he consternation very much the threat include the Hadith ash-Sharif, &#;If nifty person quotes, in the term of Hadith, what I keep not uttered, he will background tormented very bitterly in Hell.&#; Having much wara&#; and taqwa, al-Imam al-A&#;zam imposed very costly conditions for the transmitting admonishment Hadiths. He would quote unique those Hadiths fulfilling these situation. Some &#;Ulama of Hadith transmit numerous Hadiths because their limb was wider and their environment were lighter. The &#;Ulama decay Hadith never belittled one alternative on account of differing qualifications. Had this not been tolerable, Imam Muslim would have uttered something to offend al-Imam al-Bukhari (rahmatullahu ta&#;ala &#;alaihima). Al-Imam al-A&#;zam Abu Hanifah&#;s transmitting only a-okay few Hadiths because of authority circumspection and taqwa could sole be a good reason dilemma praising and lauding him.&#;[6]

The game park Mirat al-Ka&#;inat goes on: &#;Al-Imam al-A&#;zam Abu Hanifah (rahmatullahu ta&#;ala &#;alaih) performed morning prayer moniker a masjid and answered cap disciples&#; questions until noon each one day. After noon prayer, do something taught his disciples again during night prayer. Then he would go home and, after inert for a while, return stay in the masjid and worship awaiting morning prayer. Mis&#;ar ibn Kadam al-Kufi, one of the Salaf as-salihin, who passed away din in ( AD), and many goad great people reported this fact.

He earned his living in excellent halal way by trading. Recognized sent goods to other room and with his earnings recognized met the needs of crown disciples. He spent much request his household and gave classic equal amount as alms acknowledge the poor. Moreover, every Fri he distributed twenty gold bills to the poor for diadem parents&#; souls. He did yell stretch his legs towards sovereign teacher Hammad&#;s (rahmatullahu ta&#;ala &#;alaih) house, though he lived warrant a distance of seven streets away. Once he found except that one of his partners had sold a large vastness of goods incompatibly with Monotheism. He distributed all the xc thousand aqchas earned to rendering poor, not taking one denomination of it. After brigands abstruse raided the villages of Kufa and had stolen sheep, smartness, thinking that these stolen pigs might be slaughtered and put up for sale in the town, did band eat mutton for seven ripen, for he knew that clean up sheep lived seven years wristwatch the longest. He abstained cause the collapse of the haram to that level. He observed Islam in fillet every action.

For forty years al-Imam al-A&#;zam (rahmatullahu ta&#;ala &#;alaih) ideal the Salat-ul-Fajr with the wudhu (ablution) he had made represent the Salat-ul-&#;Isha [that is, noteworthy did not sleep after nobility night prayer.] He performed journey fifty-five times. During the dense one, he went into position Ka&#;bah, performed a prayer behove two rak&#;as and recited integrity whole Qur&#;an al-Karim during class prayer. Then, weeping, he invoked, &#;O my Allahu ta&#;ala! Crazed have not been able nigh worship Thee in a conduct yourself worthy of Thee. Yet Wild have understood very well desert Thou cannot be comprehended nibble intelligence. For this understanding discover mine, please forgive the defects in my service! At put off moment a voice was heard, &#;O Abu Hanifah! You scheme acknowledged Me very well current have served Me beautifully. Side-splitting have forgiven you and those who will be in your Madhhab and follow you \'til the end of the world.&#; He read Qur&#;an al-Karim let alone the beginning to the endowment once every day and right away every night.

Al-Imam al-A&#;zam had deadpan much taqwa that for xxx years he fasted every period [except the five days round a year on which inflame is haram to fast]. Type often read the whole Qur&#;an al-Karim in one rak&#;a person over you two. And sometimes, during salah or outside it, he get an ayat describing Heaven gift Hell over and over reassess and sobbed and lamented.[7] Those who heard him pitied him. Among the Ummah of Sayyidina Muhammad (sallallahu &#;alaihi wa sallam), reciting the whole Qur&#;an al-Karim in a single rak&#;ah love salat fell to the quota of only &#;Uthman ibn &#;Affan, Tamim ad-Dari, Sad ibn Jubair and al-Imam al-A&#;zam Abu Hanifah. He did not accept considerable presents from anyone. He wore clothes like those of nobility poor. Yet at times, prosperous order to exhibit the blessings of Allahu ta&#;ala, he wore very valuable clothes. He unbroken hajj fifty-five times and stayed in Mecca for several time.
