Question:

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah

Can I please have Confirmation whether they are right or wrong, of the following allegations made against Imam Abu Hanifah.

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيْم

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Answer:

These allegations against Imām Abū Ḥanīfa are baseless and have been answered numerous times within the past.

We advise you to read the following books:

1. Imām Suyūṭi’s ‘Tabyīḍ al-Ṣaḥīfah fi Manāqibi Abī Ḥanīfah.’

2. Imām Zāhid al-Kawthari’s ‘Ta’nīb al-Khāṭīb.’

3. Maulānā Abdur Rashīd al-Nuʿmānī’s ‘Makānah al-Imām Abī Ḥanīfa fi al-Ḥādīth.’

Many of them are available online in PDF format. Alternatively, you may view the following: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ubHBbHJH0U
