Description :
The Kitab al-Athar was the first book composed in Islam after the generation of the Companions. Al-Imam al-A’zam Abu Hanifah Nu’man ibn Thabit,
May Allah be pleased with him, wrote it.
It comprises
Ahadith that connect directly back to the Beloved Messenger of Allah,
Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam (
marfu’), those which stop short at a Companion or one of the Followers (
mawquf) and those which are attributed to the Beloved Messenger of Allah,
Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam, directly by one of the Followers or Followers of the Followers without attribution to a Companion (
mursal).
His companions Imam Abu Yusuf, Imam Zufar, Imam Muhammad, Imam al-Hasan ibn Ziyad, Imam Hammad ibn Abi Hanifah (
May Allah be pleased with them all) the Imam’s son, Hafs ibn Ghiyath and others narrated it from him.
Imam Abu Hanifah : Imam Abu Hanifah,
May Allah be pleased with him, was from Kufa and was one of the Followers (
taabi’oon).
He was born in 80 AH in a family of Persian ancestry. Imam Abu Hanifah
was a trader in fabrics. He studied with the great scholars of Kufa who
transmitted the schools of Ibn Mas’ud,
May Allah be pleased with him, and Amir al-Momineen ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib,
May Allah be pleased with him, in particular, but he also travelled further afield in search of
hadith and
fiqh. He was noted for his exceptional grasp of
fiqh, and is said to have laid its foundations. He died in 150 AH in Baghdad.
His list of teachers is very extensive, and his list of pupils a roll-call of honour.
Sahl ibn Muzahim said, “Abu Hanifah’s knowledge was universal knowledge.” Ash-Shafi’i,
May Allah be pleased with him, said, “In
fiqh people are the needy dependents of Abu Hanifah.”
Imam Muhammad : He is Abu ‘Abdillah Muhammad ibn
al-Hasan ibn Farqad ash-Shaybani. Muhammad was born in Wasit in 132 AH,
and grew up in Kufa. He was a pupil of Abu Hanifah.
Ash-Shafi’ee
said, “I have not seen anyone more eloquent than him. I used to think
when I saw him reciting the Qur’an that it was as if the Qur’an had been
revealed in his language.” He also said, “I have not seen anyone more
intelligent than Muhammad ibn al-Hasan.” He died in Ray in 189 AH.
