[edit] Move

Imam is superfluous and has been removed from the other traditional Sunni fiqahs. gren グレン 13:57, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

I suggest moving to "Abu Hanifa an-Nu'man", the transliterated title of the Arabic Wikipedia article. --Yodakii 16:04, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
As you wish... I just figured Britannica had a good handle on things (although they have Hanifah which doesn't really matter). I'm not too particular. IT beats what we have now. I'll let you decide... when you do will you change the move template here accordingly and add to requested moves page? gren グレン 18:20, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
Do you think I should? If there aren't any other opinions on this it looks like consensus. Anyway, I'll get back to this on my break. --Yodakii 01:25, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
Is this article really noted at Wikipedia:Requested moves or is that just the template? Sorry, I'm still finding my way around here. anyway...I'll just try to move the article. --Yodakii 15:47, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Info

This was removed:

The Sheikhs of the Mu'tazilites and their Imams and the Hanafi ulema generally reject the hadith narrated by Abu Huraira. Moreover, in his commentary on Muslim's Sahih, Volume IV, Nadwi emphasizes this point:

"Imam Abu Hanifa said, 'The companions of the Prophet were generally pious and just. I accept every hadith with evidence narrated by them, but I do not accept the hadith whose source is Abu Huraira, Anas ibn Malik, or Samra ibn Jundab."

Abu Hanifa is quoted by many sources as having said

"My knowledge extends to only two years. The two I spent with Ja'far al-Sadiq"

Is there any reason? --Striver 22:09, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

The information is not factually correct here is the exact quote with reference and commentary.

Ibn `Abidin relates in his al Durr al mukhtar that Imam Abu Hanifa said: "If it were not for two years, I would have perished."

Ibn `Abidin comments: For two years he accompanied Sayyidina Ja`far al-Sadiq and he acquired the spiritual knowledge that made him a gnostic in the Way... Abu `Ali Daqqaq (Imam Qushayri's shaykh) received the path from Abu al-Qasim al-Nasirabadi, who received it from al Shibli, who received it from Sari al-Saqati who received it from al Ma`ruf al Karkhi, who received it from Dawud at Ta'i, who received the knowledge, both the external and the internal, from the Imam Abi Hanifa.

Ibn `Abidin, Hashiyat radd al-muhtar `ala al-durr al-mukhtar 1:43.

Imam Abu Hanifah learnt a type of knowledge from Sayidinah Jafar as sidiq not "all" his knowledge as the above quote has been twisted into saying. This is something similar to having a teacher for maths and a teacher for English Imam Abu hanifah's teachers were many as was the tradition for all Islamic scholars.

--Rami.Islam 13:04, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I noticed that it says Imam Abu Hanifa was taught by Imam Jafar Al Sadiq, and there is no reference for this. Until some one references this with un-biased sources, I suggest removing this.

[edit] Kunya

It was not a true kunya, as he did not have a son called Hanifa, but an epithetical one meaning pure in monotheistic belief should be removed as http://www.sunnah.org/history/Scholars/How%20Abu%20Hanifa%20got%20his%20kunya.htm proves other wise and has been confirmed by various teachers —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ether 4 (talk • contribs) 15:10, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

The information in the article is from Shibli Nomani's book which is a reliable source. The above link you've given does not provide any sourcing so can't be verified. → AA (talk) — 15:36, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Imamabuhanifah(large).jpg

Image:Imamabuhanifah(large).jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
