“The Great Imam” was not self-proclaimed title, but it was given by the people and scholars, and other people of authorities of his time and later. That tells something of his scholarship and integrity.

Can you show me here, one Arabic reference or more from scholars of that time (not themselves hanafi) to label Imam Abu Hanifa ra. as IMAM E AJAM ""? It is OK for you to declare your favourite Imam as "IMAM E AJAM", no problem with that. But don't tell there was a consensus from all rival Imams.

Abū ‘Abdir-Rahmān said: Al-Hasan ibn As-Sabbāh Al-Bazzār narrated to me (and said): Al-Hunaynī narrated to me, from Mālik ibn Anas who said: “Nobody was born in Islām worse for the people of Islām than Abū Hanīfah.” Al-Hafiz Abu Bakr Al-Khatib said: Uhud bin Muhammad Al-Ateeqi, Al-Hussain bin Jaafar Al-Salmasi and Al-Hasan bin Ali Al-Jawhari told us, they said: Ali bin Abdul Aziz Al-Barza’i told us, Abu Muhammad Abdul-Rahman bin Abi Hatim Al-Razi told us, Abi told us Ibn Abi Sarij, he said: I heard Al-Shafi’i say: Do you know Abū Hanīfah? He said: Yes, what do you think of a man, if he said this pole was made of gold, he would have stood at it until it was made of gold, and it was of wood or stone. Abu Muhammad said it means that he was steadfast on the error and argued for it and did not return to the right even after it became obvious to him. Imām al-Shafi’i : Ibn Abi Hatim said: My father told us, Harun bin Saeed Al-Aili said: I heard Al-Shafi’i say: "I don't know of anyone who has written books that are more indicative of the invalidity of his statement than Abū Hanīfah." Ibn Abi Hatim said: Al-Rabi` bin Suleiman told me he said I heard Al-Shafi`i say: "Abū Hanīfah commits an error in the first issue (mas'alh), which he then analogizes (yaqīs ʿalīhā) throughout the entire book" Imām Ahmad ibn Hanbal: ‘Abdullāh ibn Imām Ahmad ibn Hanbal - rahimahullāh - said: Muhannah ibn Yahyā Ash-Shāmī narrated to me (and said): I heard Ahmad ibn Hanbal (radiAllāhu ‘anhu) say: "The dung and the opinion of Abū Hanīfah are the same." ‘Abdullāh ibn Imām Ahmad ibn Hanbal said: And it was narrated to me from Ishāq ibn Mansūr Al-Kawsaj who said: I said to Ahmad ibn Hanbal: “Is a man rewarded for hating Abū Hanīfah and his companions?” He said: “Yes, by Allāh.” Al-Khatib said: Bushra bin Abdullah Al-Russi told us, Ahmad bin Jaafar bin Hamdan told us, Muhammad bin Jaafar Al-Rashidi told us, Abu Bakr Al-Athram told us, he said, Abu Abdullah informed us of a chapter on the “Aqeeqah” in which there are chains of hadiths from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and his companions and the followers. Then he said: Abū Hanīfah said: It is from the work of ignorance and he (i.e. Ahmad) smiled in amazement. Al-Khatib said: Talha bin Ali Al-Kitani told us, Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Ibrahim Al-Shafi’i told us, Abu Sheikh Al-Asbahani told us, Al-Athram told us, he said: I saw Abu Abdullah criticizing Abū Hanīfah and his doctrine, and he tells some of his sayings on denial and astonishment. Imām Al-Bukhārī (died 256 hijrī) - rahimahullāh - said in his book “Ad-Du’afā As-Saghīr”: 388. An-Nu’mān ibn Thābit Abū Hanīfah Al-Kūfī. He died in year 150 (after hijrah). Nu’aym ibn Hammād narrated to us (and said): Yahyā ibn Sa’īd and Mu’ādh ibn Mu’ādh (both) narrated to us and said: We heard Ath-Thawrī (He is from Kufa, a contemporary of Abū Hanīfah died 161 AH) say: “Abū Hanīfah was asked to repent from kufr two times.” Nu’aym narrated to us (and said): Al-Fazārī narrated to us and said: I was with Ath-Thawrī when the death of Abū Hanīfah was announced, so he said: “All praise is due to Allāh.” And he prostrated. He said: “He used to untie the knots of Islām, one knot after another.” And he (i.e. Ath-Thawrī) said: “No-one was born in Islām more calamitous than him.” A companion of ours narrated to us, from Hamdawayh who said: I said to Muhammad ibn Maslamah: “What is it with the opinion of An-Nu’mān (i.e. Abū Hanīfah), he entered all of the cities except Al-Madīnah.” He said: “Verily the Messenger of Allāh (sallAllāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: ‘The Dajjāl will not enter it, nor will the plague.’ And he is a dajjāl among the dajājilah (pl. dajjāl).” (Ad-Du’afā As-Saghīr, Bāb An-Nūn) And he said in his book "al-Tārīkh al-Kabīr”: Dirar bin Surd said to me: Sulaym told us, Sufyan heard, Hammad bin Abi Sulayman said to me: Inform Abū Hanīfah, the polytheist (ālmushrik), that I disavow him. He said: He used to say: The Qur'an is created. Many people are unaware that Imam Al-Bukhari, in his book "Sahih Al-Bukhari," refutes Abū Hanīfah. Jamal al-Din al-Zaylaʿī al-Hanafi said: "Al-Bukhari looks hard to see what has a rebuttal to Abū Hanīfah from the Sunnah, so he mentions the hadith, then makes a hint at Abū Hanīfah, so he says: "The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: "such and such." and some people said: "Such and such," referring to him and condemning him for violating the hadith. ...and he says in the beginning of his book: Chapter: Prayer is part of faith, then he narrates the hadiths of the chapter, intending to refute Abū Hanīfah's statement that Actions are not part of faith." Furthermore, none of authors the six books (Kutub al-Sittah) have a Hanafi narrator in their books, including Abū Hanīfah himself. They avoid them and reject their narration. Ibn Abū Dawūd As-Sijistānī (died 316 hijrī) rahimahullāh ta’ālā: Ibn ‘Adī said: ”I heard Ibn Abū Dāwūd say: ‘The criticism of Abū Hanīfah (came from) a jamā’ah of the scholars. Because the Imām of Basrah is Ayyūb As-Sikhtiyānī and he verily spoke about him. And the Imām of Kūfah is Ath-Thawrī, and he verily spoke about him. And the Imām of Al-Hijāz is Mālik, and he verily spoke about him. And the Imām of Misr is Al-Layth ibn Sa’d, and he verily spoke about him. And the Imām of Shām is Al-Awzai’ī, and he verily spoke about him. And the Imām of Khurasān is ‘Abdullāh ibn Al-Mubārak, and he verily spoke about him. So the criticism of him is an agreement from the scholars in all horizons.” (Al-Kāmil fi Du’afā Ar-Rijāl) Al-Khatīb narrated in his “Tarīkh” with a sound chain of narration from Ibn Abū Dāwūd that he said to his companions: “What do you think about an issue which Mālik and his companions, As-Shāfi’ī and his companions, Al-Awzā’ī and his companions, Al-Hasan ibn Sālih and his companions, Sufyān Ath-Thawrī and his companions and Ahmad ibn Hanbal and his companions all agreed upon? So they said: ‘O Abū Bakr, there could not be an issue more correct than that.’ So he said: ‘These people, all of them agreed upon the misguidance of Abū Hanīfah.’” (Tarīkh Baghdād) Ibn Hibbān (died 354 hijrī). He said in “Al-Majrūhīn”: ”I do not know any disagreement between them regarding the fact that the leaders of the Muslims and the people of fear (of Allāh) in all times and places rebuked him and criticized him, except the one (rare) person after the one person. And we have verily narrated what was narrated regarding him of this in the book ‘At-Tanbīh ‘alā At-Tamwīh.”

Imam Abu Hanifa was taught by 4000 teachers. Among them, according to different sources, seven were Sahaba [companions of the Prophet (S.A.W.)}, ninety-three from the Tabieen (Companions of Sahabas) and the rest from the Tabi Tabieen (companions of Tabieen). Hammad Ibn Sulaiman was Abu Hanifa’s teacher for 18 years. After Hammad died, Abu Hanifa was appointed as the Head of the Madrasah. Imam Abu Hanifa had the opportunity to study with 5 of the 7 fuqaha'a of Madina. He studied with Jafar Saadiq and his father Baqir, zaynul Abideen, ATA Ibn Abi Rabat, Qatada, Ikrima, Nafi'i and in Kufa he inherited the school of Abdallah Ibn Masud and Ali Ibn Abi Talib. He, Abu Hanifa is reported to have said, I took the knowledge of Umar, Ali, Ibn Masud and Ibn Abass. According to Imam Dhahabi, Abu Hanifa's knowledge is encompassing. After Kufa n Basrah, Abu Hanifa went to Makkah and Madinah as the center of religious teachings Islam. In Makkah, he learned hadith from Ata Ibn Rabah who was student of Abdullah ibn Abbas (R.A.). He educated Abu Hanifa with great care and attention. Some of the Sahabas he had met with includes 1. Anas bin Malik (R.A.) in Basra 2. Abu Tufail ibn Waasila (R.A.) in Makkah 3. Abdullah Ibn Abu Awfa (R.A.) in Kufa 4. Suhayl ibn Saad Saidi (R.A.) in Madinah.

This phrase is attributed to Al-Shafi’i, and I did not see it with a chain of transmission from him. Rather, it is attributed to Ibn Abi Hatim’s book Al-Manaqib, and this is not its wording in it. Ibn Abi Hatem said in al-Manaqib p. 161: al-Rabi' ibn Suleiman al-Muradi told us, he said: I heard al-Shafi'i say, "No one into ra'y (opinion), except that he is a indebted to the people of Iraq." Rabih ibn Suleiman said again: I heard al-Shafi'i say: "The people are dependent on the people of Iraq, in Fiqh." As you see, Abu Hanifa was not mentioned, but Shaykh al-Islām interpreted this text to mean that counting on them was in branching out matters rather than knowing the evidence. It means that they were the first to arrange Fiqh in the order now known. Furthermore, I'm not sure why a lot of passages from this al-Shafi'i biography that condemned Abu Hanifa were avoided. Ibn Abi Hatem said in al-Manaqib p. 129: al-Rabi' ibn Suleiman al-Muradi (Prominent disciple of Shafi'i) told me he said I heard Al-Shafi`i say: "Abū Hanīfah commits an error in the first issue (mas'alh), which he then analogizes (yaqīs ʿalīhā) throughout the entire book" Ibn Abi Hatem said in al-Manaqib p. 130: My father told us, Harun bin Saeed Al-Aili said: I heard Al-Shafi’i say: "I don't know of anyone who has written books that are more indicative of the invalidity of his statement than Abū Hanīfah."

The Hanafi School is not based upon the teachings of 1 person as the other 3 are. Imam Abu Hanifah had thousands of students from various cities and he chose 40 of his best students to form a committee to check everything before it got written down as the Sunnah. ".... one day and a man said: “Abu Hanifah erred!” Waki‘ said to him: How can Abu Hanifah err when with him are the likes of Abu Yusuf and Zufar in their logic; and the likes of Yahya ibn Abi Za’idah , Hafs ibn Ghiyath, Hibban and Mindal in their memorisation of hadith; and the like of al-Qasim ibn Ma‘n in his knowledge of language and Arabic; and Dawud al-Ta’i and Fudayl ibn ‘Iyad in their asceticism and their scrupulousness?

Islam attaches the highest importance to justice. In fact, Divine Justice is the backbone of the whole act of creation. The balance and the due proportion evident in the heavens and the earth are a manifestation of Allah’s (God’s) Justice. Thus in Islam, balance and justice are central to the design and order underlying Allah’s creative fiat as also in the ultimate Reckoning on the Day of Judgment. It is the consequence of Divine Justice that man has free will because, without free will, man does not merit either reward or punishment for his deeds. For this reason, the great scholars of Islam have called free will the Principle of Justice. If we study the cause of the ruin of many past civilizations, we find at the root the neglect of justice. In fact, justice is a value that a ruler can ignore only at his own peril. In the case of a people who violate the fundamentals of justice, Allah will punish them severely. That is the valuable lesson we learn from history. The Qur’an repeatedly admonishes the believers to travel in the world and study the history of past societies, particularly the nations that were destroyed for their iniquities. Allah commands us in the Qur’an to do good and to avoid shameful deeds, injustice, and rebellion. He commands us to be just, even if we hate a people.

Another thing: the part about King Offa is of course intriguing and also underlines the strength of the early to mid Medieval period of the Islamicat civilisation. But it falls short of drawing the conclusions you would expect from a more nuanced and objective reading and analysis: that this superiority, this strength and special status of the Medieval Islamicate civilisation stemmed from it´s focus on learning and being open and analysing and questioning. Not on the Shahadah! Or on Islamic practices such as prayer or fasting or wearing of beards and so on. It was the spirit, the way the society ordered itself and how it let this inform it´s culture and values. This is what should be taken out of it and not some partisan "oh they were so great because they said the Sahadah" or some such. I am wondering when educated and clearly highly intelligent people professing to be Muslim will finally dare to make this conclusion and begin a new journey out of the recent dark ages of the Islamicate world.

#Article: Did Imam Abu Hanifah رحمه الله follow Rai or Sunnah? Imām Abu Hanīfah said “Beware of speaking about matters of Deen based on Raï (personal opinions) and hold firm to the Sunnah for the one who leaves the Sunnah goes astray” (i) Raï means juristic opinions. Al-Tūfī said, "There are two types of raï: (1) One which is based purely on one's intellect (2) One which involves using the intellect to extract rulings from Quran and Ahādith. And this is what is meant when it is said, “this is the Raï of Imām Abu Hanīfah or this is the Raï of Imām As-Shafei.”(ii) _In essence, Raï signifies Fiqh. Therefore, when it is asserted that Imam Abu Hanifah and his disciples were "Ashāb Al Raï", it does not imply that they disregarded Hadith and relied solely on personal opinions; rather, it signifies their proficiency in jurisprudence. Moreover, being adept in fiqh does not preclude one from also being well-versed in Hadīth. This is because there is no inherent conflict between fiqh and Hadīth, as Hadīth constitutes the recorded teachings of Rasūlullah صلى الله عليه وسلم, while fiqh represents the methodology for interpreting them._ Imām Khattābi said, “Hadīth is like a foundation and Fiqh is like it's edifice. Every edifice devoid of a foundation will collapse and every foundation without an edifice is uninhabited and dilapidated.” (iii) Imām Tirmidhī narrated the Hadīth of Umm ‘Atiyya about the ritual bath of Zaynab رضي الله عنها and explained it by quoting the rulings of the Fuqaha (Experts in Fiqh) and then commented, *“And this is what has been mentioned by the Fuqaha and they are more knowledgeable regarding meaning of the Hadith”* (Tirmidhi no 990) Imām Mālik said, “We only take Ahādith from the Fuqaha"(iv) Ibn Wahb said, “Every Muhaddith who does not follow an Imām in Fiqh is misguided. If I had not studied under Imām Mālik and Abu Layth, I would have been astray too” (v) Al-Khatīb Al-Baghdādi, said “Know that one does not become a Faqīh merely by narrating abundance of Ahādith. One only becomes a Faqīh by extracting the meanings of a Hadith and by pondering over it” (vi) Ibn ‘Abdil Barr says, *“No Imām rejected a Hadīth except that the Hadīth was abrogated according to him, or that there was a defect in the chain of transmission*[...] People have criticized Abu Hanīfah and have labelled him as a Murji’ite[...] People were jealous of him and have levelled various accusations against him and have fabricated stories about him which are unbefitting" (vii) Ibn Taymiyyah says “He who thinks that Abu Hanīfah or other Aimmah have preferred Qiyās over Sahih Ahādith has erred and has spoken out of speculation and desires” (viii) Ibn Qayyim says “Abu Hanīfah preferred weak Ahādith over Qiyās. For e.g, logic demands that laughing in Salāh does not break Wudhu, but there is a weak Hadīth that suggests that laughing in Salāh break both Wudhu and Salāh and Abu Hanīfah adopted that view. So, if he was following Raï, he would have discarded the Hadīth and followed logic instead” (ix) In fact, Imam Abū Hanīfah abhorred using intellect only to derive rulings so much that he said “To urinate in the Musjid is better than some of the Qiyās that people do” (x) May Allah safeguard the reputation of Imām Abū Hanīfah and dispel any misunderstandings about him.

On the question of how the Hanafi school was established, I think this comes down to the Usools (the principles used to derive a ruling) that was deployed by Imam Abu Hanifa. So while his students may have disagreed with him on certain rulings, and while the scholarly discourse that carried on in the following generations between teacher and student, the common denominator between them is the adherence to the Usool of Abu Hanifa. This is why it became the Hanafi school.

Hadith are of three types 1) haq hadith. Hadith which sahaba and tabayeen memorised and practised 2) Sahi hadith Again there are groups Sahi hadith of bukari, Sahi hadith of Muslim, Tirmizi so on 3) zaeef Hadith Zaeef hadith of bukari, Zaeef hadith of Muslim, tirmizi and so on Sahi hadith of bukari means, Moulana bukari had imposed some conditions on himself based on conditions he classified hadith as Sahi and zaeef There are many hadith which are zaeef in bukari but are sahee in Muslim and other books depending on their approach. In Islam Qur'an is only book at no.1. There is no No.2,3 or4 book in Islam. Bukari, Muslim and other books are just collection of hadith. (Data book) Hanfism is based on haq hadith. Hanfism is not the product of one person, Abu hanifa had 40 to 50 members in his group, one of the member was Mohammed sirin who was student of 17 sahabas, similarly other members were students of sahaba and elite tabayees. Each member was Hafiz of Qur'an and 2 to 3 lakhs of hadith, they were students of sahaba and tabayi of kufa(kufa was centre of intellectuals, students of sahabas like hazrath Omer,hazrath Ali). Kufa was established as centre of intellectuals by hazrath Omer later was continued by hazrath Ali. Just by reading few haddis you won't become expert, but sure you will become ahlae ade(.5) haddis, dummy salafi. Hanfism is the product of around 50 great scholars(student of sahaba,tabayeen+Hafiz of Qur'an+Hafiz of lakhs of haddis) The greatest joke of ahlae adae(1/2) Haddis is they are around 5% but they have more than 50 jamaat among themselves. They are step brothers of Shia, they do exactly opposite to shia Shia hate Kulfa eh rasideen, dummy Wahabi, dummy salafi have I'll feeling about ahlae bait, Now a days they are showing fake love towards Ahlae bait, but if you read their old books it is full of venom against ahlae bait, Even they won't spare hazarth Omer in their books. They even change the books of real Muslim like abu hanifa (r.a), moulana asraf Ali thanvi and moulana Ahmed Raza, Ahlae adae(1/2) haddis, dummy salafi are very very cheap. Thier policy is blame other groups and make illiterate, illogical,poor, unscientific, innocent People fool and convert them from Islam to ahlae ade (1/2), Abdul wahabi, Salafi dummy. Most of the hadis use by so called wahabis,ahlae haddis and salafi quote contains the sentence "I saw prophet Mohammad doing this" for example take the case of namaz prophet Mohammad use to pray (nafil namaz)for hours, due to strain he use to change the position of placement of hand, even he untied the hand in qayam, when it was hot and sweating he allowed air to enter his armpit all this positions were recorded in various hadith and as I said the words used by sahaba was " I saw" so it was nafil namaz. Were as hanfis fallow hadith in which sahaba certifies as most preferable method. for example regarding namaz. Masood (r.z) gathers people and announces oh people I will teach you namaz the way prophet offered. In hadis also you will find sahaba offering namaz with some deviation, it was the practice of sahaba to fallow prophet Muhammad in all terms atleast once. So sometime they use to offer namaz in which prophet deviated due to some excuse. Quran guides, it is sign for Muslim. Each word of Qur'an has it's significance And Allah knows the enemies of Islam within,each and every word Allah uses has purpose, There are many words better than word hanif in Arabic but Allah uses it as sign in Quran to declare righteousness of prophet Ibrahim. Surah nisa ayat 69 is sign for shia(rafzi), And 3:67 is sign for ahlae haddis , salafi(dummy). Quran is time independent.
