Some say Imam Abu Hanifa was With Imam Hamad for 18 years. Here it says 10 years. Sometimes i feel We should study from a real Alim face to face instead of listning youtube lectures.

[@makhan3945]

He said that Imam Abu Hanifa was with Imam Hammad for 10 years and then thought about leaving him and starting his own halaqa but then went on to stay with him till his death which was 18-19 years in total

This is why hanafi madhab is correct because from sheikh hammad 2 generation we go back to The Apostle of Allah.

Imam Abu Hanifa is and will be the greatest and most famous Persian scholar standing above Ibn Sina and Movlana in popularity and knowledge. In fact his school of Hanifi embraced by more than half of whole Muslims population in earth. He was the only non Arab to be called Imam Ahzam or the Great Imam.

The harsh historical truth: I begin with the words of the three imams of Ahl al-Sunnah, Malik, al-Shafi’i and Ahmad ibn Hanbal: Imām Malik: "Abū‬‬ ‫‪Hanīfa plots against religion, and whoever plots against religion has no religion." ‫‪Abū ‘Abdir-Rahmān said: Mansūr‬‬ ‫‪ibn‬‬ ‫‪Abū‬‬ ‫‪Muzāhim‬‬ ‫‪narrated‬‬ ‫‪to‬‬ ‫‪me‬‬ ‫‪(and‬‬ ‫‪said):‬‬ ‫‪I‬‬ ‫‪heard‬‬ ‫‪Mālik‬‬ ‫‪ibn‬‬ ‫‪Anas‬‬ ‫‪mention‬‬ ‫‪Abū‬‬ ‫‪Hanīfah,‬‬ ‫‪and‬‬ ‫‪he‬‬ ‫‪mentioned‬‬ ‫‪him and criticized him severely ‫‪and said:‬‬ ‫‪ “He‬‬ ‫‪conspired‬‬ ‫‪against‬‬ ‫‪the‬‬ ‫”‪religion.‬‬ ‫‪And‬‬ ‫‪he‬‬ ‫‪said:‬‬ ‫‪“Whoever‬‬ ‫‪conspires‬‬ ‫‪against‬‬ ‫‪the‬‬ ‫‪religion‬‬ ‫‪he‬‬ ‫‪is‬‬ ‫‪not‬‬ ‫‪from‬‬ ‫‪the‬‬ ‫”‪religion.‬‬ ‫Abū ‘Abdir-Rahmān said: ‪Mansūr‬‬ ‫‪narrated‬‬ ‫‪to‬‬ ‫‪me‬‬ ‫‪another‬‬ ‫‪time‬‬ ‫‪and‬‬ ‫‪said:‬‬ ‫‪I‬‬ ‫‪heard‬‬ ‫‪Mālik‬‬ ‫‪say‬‬ ‫‪words‬‬ ‫‪regarding‬‬ ‫‪Abū‬‬ ‫‪Hanīfah‬‬ ‫‪which‬‬ ‫‪put‬‬ ‫‪him‬‬ ‫‪out‬‬ ‫‪of‬‬ ‫‪the‬‬ ‫‪religion.‬‬ ‫‪And‬‬ ‫‪he‬‬ ‫‪said:‬‬ ‫‪“Abū‬‬ ‫‪Hanīfah‬‬ ‫‪did‬‬ ‫‪not‬‬ ‫‪conspire‬‬ ‫‪against‬‬ ‫‪anything‬‬ ‫‪but‬‬ ‫‪the‬‬ ‫”‪religion.‬‬ ‫ ‫Abū ‘Abdir-Rahmān said: ‪Abū‬‬ ‫‪Ma’mar‬‬ ‫‪narrated‬‬ ‫‪to‬‬ ‫‪me,‬‬ ‫‪from‬‬ ‫‪Al-Walīd‬‬ ‫‪ibn‬‬ ‫‪Muslim‬‬ ‫‪who‬‬ ‫‪said:‬‬ ‫‪Mālik‬‬ ‫‪ibn‬‬ ‫‪Anas‬‬ ‫‪said:‬‬ ‫‪“Is‬‬ ‫‪Abū‬‬ ‫‪Hanīfah‬‬ ‫‪mentioned‬‬ ‫‪in‬‬ ‫‪your‬‬ ‫”?‪country‬‬ ‫‪I‬‬ ‫‪said:‬‬ ‫”‪“Yes.‬‬ ‫‪He‬‬ ‫‪said:‬‬ ‫‪“One‬‬ ‫‪should‬‬ ‫‪not‬‬ ‫‪live‬‬ ‫‪in‬‬ ‫‪your‬‬ ‫”‪country.‬‬ Abū ‘Abdir-Rahmān said: Jafar said: Al-Hasan bin Ali Al-Halawani told us, he said: I heard Mutref say: I heard Malik say: "The destruction of religion is the incurable disease, and Abu Hanifa is the incurable disease." 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.”
