Imam Abu Hanifah, (699-767 CE) was the founder of the Sunni Hanafi School of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence). He is regarded as one of the Tabi‘un. This is based on reports that he saw the Sahabi> Anas ibn Malik, with some even reporting that he transmitted Hadith from him and other companions of Muhammad (pbuh). The Imam went to Medina in pursuit of Knowledge and attended the lessons of seven top theologians. The celebrated Imam Musa Kazim and his illustrious father Imam Jafar Sadiq, were the greatest authorities in Islamic learning of their times and Imam Abu Hanifah took full advantage of their society in Medina. Imam Abu Hanifah also attended the classes of Imam Malik. |
