❐ The Text of the Creed
❐ Muhammad bin Abdu'r-Rahman bin al-Abbas informed us, saying: Abu'l-Fadl Shu’ayb bin Muhammad bin Rajiyaan narrated us saying: Ali bin Harb al- Mawsili narrated to us -in the year 257H- saying:
❐ I heard Shu’ayb bin Harb saying: I said to Abu Abd-Allah Sufyan bin Sa’id ath-Thawri: Narrate to me a hadith from the Sunnah by which Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) will benefit me, so that when I stand in front of Allah (jalla jalaluhu) and He asks me concerning it, saying:
❐ From where did you get take this? I will say: O my Lord, Sufyan ath-Thawri narrated this hadith to me and I took it from him. So that I am saved and (then) you are questioned for it.
❐ So Sufyan said: O Shu’ayb, this is an assurance and what (other) assurance (can be better than this)? Write:
❖ In the Name of Allah, Most-Merciful Ever-Merciful (to His Believing Servants)
❐ The Qur’an is the Word of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) . It is not created[1]. It originated from Him and to Him it will return. Whoever says other than this is a disbeliever.
❐ And iman consists of speech, action and intention. It increases and decreases[2]. It increases with acts of obedience and it decreases with acts of disobedience.
❐ No speech is accepted except with action, and no speech and action are accepted except with intention, and no speech, action and intention are accepted unless they agree with the Sunnah.
❐ Shu’ayb said: I said: O Abu Abd-Allah, and what is agreement with the Sunnah?
❐ He said: Giving precedence to the two Shaikhs: Abu Bakr (Rady'Allahu Anhu) and Umar (Rady'Allahu Anhu)[3].
❐ O Shu’ayb what you have written will not benefit you until you put Uthman (Rady'Allahu Anhu) and Ali (Rady'Allahu Anhu) ahead of those who come after them.
❐ O Shu’ayb bin Harb, what you have written for yourself will not benefit you until you do not testify for anyone that he is in Paradise or Hellfire[4] save the ten concerning whom RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) testified for and all of them are from Quraysh[5].
❐ O Shu’ayb bin Harb, what you have written for yourself will not benefit you until you hold that wiping over the khuffain (leather socks) is better to you than taking them off when washing your feet[6].
❐ O Shu’ayb what you have written will not benefit you until saying Bismillahi'r-Rahmani'r-Rahim silently in the prayer is more excellent to you than that you should say it out aloud[7].

❐ Allah (azza wajal) said: "Have you seen him who takes his own lust (vain desires) as his ilah (god), and Allah knowing (him as such), left him astray, and sealed his hearing and his heart, and put a cover on his sight. Who then will guide him after Allah? Will you not then remember?" [Jaathiyah 45/23]

❐ And the Angels said: “Glory be to You, we have no knowledge except what you have taught us. Verily, it is You, the All-Knower, the All-Wise.” [al-Baqarah 2/32]

❐ And Shu’ayb (Alaihe wa sallam) said: "And it is not for us to return to it unless Allah, our Lord, should will. Our Lord comprehends all things in His Knowledge." [al-A’raf 7/89]
❐ And the People of Paradise say: “All the praises and thanks be to Allah, Who has guided us to this, never could we have found guidance, were it not that Allah had guided us!” [al-A’raf 7/43]

❐ And their brother, Iblis said: “O my Lord! Because you misled me.” [Hijr 15/39]
❐ O Shu’ayb, what you have written will not benefit you until you: hold that prayer is to be performed behind every righteous or sinful person[9];
❐ hold that Jihaad is always operative until the Day of Judgment[10];
❐ hold that patience is necessary under the flag (i.e. leadership) of the sultaan (Khalifa) whether he is an oppressor or just[11].
❐ Shu’ayb said: So I said to Sufyan: O Abu Abd-Allah, is that all of the prayers?
❐ He replied: No, but the Jumu’ah prayer and the prayer of the two ids. Pray these behind whomever you meet. But as for all of the prayers (i.e., the daily prayers) then you have a choice in that matter.
❐ Do not pray except behind one in whom you can place your trust and whom you know to be from Ahlu's-Sunnah wa'l-Jamaa’ah.
❐ O Shu’ayb bin Harb, when you stand in front of Allah (azza wajal) and He asks you about this hadith, then say:
❐ O my Lord, Sufyan bin Sa’id ath-Thawri narrated this hadith to me, then create intimacy between me and my Lord (Subhanahu wa ta'ala).”

❐ Whoever says other than this, or claims that the Qur’an in the earth or in the heaven is other than the Qur’an that which we recite with our tongues, and which we write in the masaahif (copies of the Qur’an), or who believes this in his heart or who conceals such a belief in his heart, or who professes it with his tongue, then he is a disbeliever whose blood and wealth is lawful and who is free from Allah and Allah is free from him."

❐ And if we say: That whomsoever Allah wills to enter the Hellfire from among the people who commit the major sins will by necessity enter the Hellfire and that he will be brought out of the Hellfire on account of the intercession of those entitled to intercede, then we would refrain from (saying such a thing) about a specific individual.
❐ So we do not testify for him that he will enter Paradise, not that he will enter Hellfire except due to knowledge because the reality is hidden and what a person dies upon cannot be encompassed by us.
❐ However we do have hope for those who do good and we fear for those who do evil. And the salaf have three sayings in this issue of testifying for Paradise for someone:
🔰The first saying is that Paradise is not testified for anyone except the Prophets, and this is quoted from Muhammad bin al-Hanafiyyah and al-Awza'i.
🔰The second saying is that Paradise is testified for, for every believer about whom a text has been mentioned, and this is the saying of many of the scholars and the Ahlu'l-Hadith (people of hadith).
🔰The third saying is that Paradise is testified for, for (both) the above-mentioned and for the one whom the believers testify for.” [Sharh Aqidatu't-Tahawiyyah, 378]

⭕️FN[6]- The Sunnah of wiping over the khuffain at the time of washing the feet (during wudu) has come from RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) by overwhelming mutawatir (successive transmission). The Raafidah oppose this mutawaatir Sunnah. It is therefore said to them:
❐ “Those who reported the wudu from RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) in speech and action and those who learnt the wudu from him, made wudu during his lifetime and he saw them and affirmed it for them.
❐ Then they reported that to those who came after them, in greater numbers than those who reported this verse, because all of the Muslims would perform wudu during his lifetime and they did not learn the wudu except from him -
❐ and this action was not binding upon them during the days of Jaahiliyyah- and they saw him perform wudu a number of times which none but Allah (jalla jalaluhu) can enumerate.
❐ And they also reported from him the washing of the two feet in whatever Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) willed amongst the hadith.” [Sharhu't-Tahawiyyah, 386-387]
⭕️FN[7] - This is one of the subsidiary matters of action and difference has arisen with respect to it amongst the scholars of the ummah. This is due to the conflicting reports that exist concerning it. And even if the isnaads of saying ‘Bismillah…’ silently are more authentic, it still remains one of the matters which are not connected to aqidah. [Sharhu's-Sunnah, 3/54; Fathu'l-Bari, 2/226-229]
⭕️FN[8] - al-Qadr is Allah’s preceding knowledge of what will occur from among the actions of the servants, what they will earn, and the emergence of such actions due to His ordainment, free is He from imperfection, and His creation of them, their good and their evil.
❐ Therefore, qadr is something for which four matters are confirmed:
🔰The first matter is that Allah’s knowledge of things before they occur.
🔰The second matter is that the writing of (that knowledge).
🔰The third matter is that no matter occurs or comes into existence except due to His will, so whatever He wills occurs and whatever He does not will does not occur.
🔰The fourth matter is that Allah’s creation -free is He from imperfection- of the actions and His bringing them into existence. [Sharh Usoulu'l-I’tiqaad, 3/534; Bayhaqi, al-I’tiqaad, 132; Ajurri, ash-Shari’ah, 149-168; Tabari, Sarihu's-Sunnah, 34-36; Bukhari, ar-Radd alal-Jahmiyyah, 39-42; Majmu al-Fatawa, 2/152, 8/484-488; Sharhu't-Tahawiyyah, 383-399]
❐ So we do not testify for him that he will enter Paradise, not that he will enter Hellfire except due to knowledge because the reality is hidden and what a person dies upon cannot be encompassed by us.
❐ However we do have hope for those who do good and we fear for those who do evil. And the salaf have three sayings in this issue of testifying for Paradise for someone:
🔰The first saying is that Paradise is not testified for anyone except the Prophets, and this is quoted from Muhammad bin al-Hanafiyyah and al-Awza'i.
🔰The second saying is that Paradise is testified for, for every believer about whom a text has been mentioned, and this is the saying of many of the scholars and the Ahlu'l-Hadith (people of hadith).
🔰The third saying is that Paradise is testified for, for (both) the above-mentioned and for the one whom the believers testify for.” [Sharh Aqidatu't-Tahawiyyah, 378]

❐ And this (applies) even if he was to pray behind an innovator who calls and invites to his innovation or a faasiq who commits his sin openly and who is the fixed Imam it being not possible to perform prayer except behind him, such as the Imam of the Jumu’ah prayer, of the two ids and of the prayer during Hajj in Arafah and other such things.
❐ The follower performs prayer behind him and this is the view of the generality of the salaf and of the khalaf (later scholars).
❐ And whoever abandons performing Jumu’ah and the regular prayers behind the sinful Imam is an innovator in the view of the majority of the scholars.
❐ And it is correct that he prays along with the Imam and that he does not repeat them, for the companions -may Allah be pleased with them- used to pray Jumu’ah and the regular prayers behind sinful leaders and they did not used to repeat their prayers.” [Sharhu't-Tahawiyyah, 373-377]

🔰Among the causes of having worries disappear and sins forgiven is sending ṣalāh (supplications for peace) upon the Prophet ﷺ, and the effect of sending ṣalāh upon him on Friday is greatest.
💠Ubayy ibn Kaʻb, may Allah be pleased with him, said,
🔰"O Messenger of Allah, I frequently invoke the blessings of Allah upon you. How much of my supplications should I devote to you?"
💢He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said, "Whatever you wish." I said, "A quarter?" He said, "Whatever you wish, and if you do more, it is better for you." I said, "One half?" He said, "Whatever you wish, and if you do more, it is better for you." I said, "Two thirds?" He said, "Whatever you wish, and if you do more, it is better for you." I said, "Shall I devote all my supplication to (invoking blessings upon) you?"
💥He said, "Then, you will be freed from your worry and your sin will be forgiven."
[At-Tirmithi: good-authentic; Al-Haakim in Al-Mustadrak]
💠Anas bin Maalik (radhi Allaahu anhu) said: Verily the Prophet (salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said:
💥Whoever sends Salah upon me once Allah will send ten (blessings) upon him and remove ten of his sins and raise his rank by ten levels.
[Imam Ahmad in his Musnad, Imam Bukharee in Adabul Mufrad #642 and #643. Jami Sagheer #6359 authenticated by Al Abaanee]

💢Part : 1
☝️Statements in regards to tawhid of Allah; an explanation of the shari'ah legislated Tawassul; a complete destruction of the innovated Tawassul
🔰Imam Abu Hanifah said: "It is not befitting for anyone to call upon Him, except by Him [⭕️1], and with the supplication that He has permitted and ordered, that which is instructed in His statement:
💥"And Allah has Beautiful Names, so call upon Him by them, and leave the company of those who deviate concerning His Names. They will be recompensed for what they used to do." [al-Araf 7/180].” [ad-Durru'l-Mukhtaar ma'a Haashiyah Raddu'l-Muhtaar, 6/396-397]
[⭕️1- RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: "Whoever swears by other than Allah, then he has indeed disbelieved and committed shirk." [Abu Dawud; Tirmidhi; Imam Shawkani, Naylu'l-Awtaar, 8/257)
And RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) reported to have said said about the statement: "What Allah wills and what you will. Do you make me one to be called upon along with Allah? Say: What Allah alone wills." [Bukhari, al-Adabu'l-Mufrad; Ahmad, Musnad; Nasa'i, al-Amalu'l-Yawm wa'l-Laylah; Ibn Maajah]
💠Imam Abu Hanifah said: "It is detested for the supplicator to say: I ask You by the right of so and so, or, By the right of Your Prophets and Messengers, and by the right of the Sacred House and the Sacred Sanctuary." [Sharhu'l-Aqidatu't-Tahawiyyah, 234; Ithaafu's-Saadaatu'l-Mustaqim, 2/285; Ali al-Qari, Sharhu'l Fiqhi'l-Akbar, 198]
💢Imam Abu Hanifah said: "It is not befitting for anyone to call upon Allah, except by Him, and it is even more detestable for him to say: By the junctures of Honour from your Throne [⭕️2], or By the Right of Your Creation.” [al-Fiqhu'l-Absat, 56]
[⭕️2- It was hated by Imam Abu Hanifah and Muhammad Ibnu'l-Hasan that a man say in his supplication: "O Allah, verily I ask you by a juncture of honour from Your throne, despite the absence of a text to permit it. As for Abu Yusuf, then indeed he permitted it due to a text from the Sunnah, wherein it was reported that RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) reported to have said in his supplication:
O Allah, verily I ask you by the junctures of honour from Your throne, and by the utmost degree of mercy from your Book." [Bayhaqi, Book of Supplications; Nasbu'r-Raayah, 4/282]. Three reproachable affairs are found in the isnaad: Dawud Ibn Abi Asim did not hear from Ibn Mas'ud (Rady'Allahu anhu); Abdu'l-Malik Ibn Jarih is a mudallis and he possesses irsaal; Umar lbn Haarud was accused of lying. Due to that, Ibnu'l-Jawzi, said: "This hadith is fabricated without a doubt, and its isnaad is futile." [al-Binaayah, 9/382; Tahdhibu't-Tahdhib, 3/189; 6/405; 7/501]
🔰Statements in affirmation of the Attributes and a refutation upon the Jahmiyyah
🍃Imam Abu Hanifah said: "Allah is not to be described with the attributes of the creation. And His anger and His pleasure are two Attributes from His Attributes, without inquiry into their modality (bilaa kayf), and this is the statement of Ahlu's-Sunnah wa'l-Jamaa'ah.
♨️He becomes angry, and He becomes pleased, and it is not to be said: His anger is His punishment and His pleasure is His reward. And we describe Him as He described Himself; One, Eternal, He does not beget, nor is He begotten, and there is none equal to Him, the Ever-Living, All-Capable, All-Hearing, Ever-Watchful, All-Knowing. The Hand of Allah is above their hands. It is not like the hands of His creation, and His Face is not like the faces of His creation." [al-Fiqhu'l-Absat, 56]

[Sharhu'l-Aqidatu't-Tahawiyyah, 234; Ithaafu's-Saadaatu'l-Mustaqim, 2/285; Ali al-Qari, Sharhu'l Fiqhi'l-Akbar, 198]
💢Imam Abu Hanifah said: "It is not befitting for anyone to call upon Allah, except by Him, and it is even more detestable for him to say: By the junctures of Honour from your Throne [⭕️2], or By the Right of Your Creation.” [al-Fiqhu'l-Absat, 56]
[⭕️2- It was hated by Imam Abu Hanifah and Muhammad Ibnu'l-Hasan that a man say in his supplication: "O Allah, verily I ask you by a juncture of honour from Your throne, despite the absence of a text to permit it. As for Abu Yusuf, then indeed he permitted it due to a text from the Sunnah, wherein it was reported that RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) reported to have said in his supplication:
O Allah, verily I ask you by the junctures of honour from Your throne, and by the utmost degree of mercy from your Book." [Bayhaqi, Book of Supplications; Nasbu'r-Raayah, 4/282]. Three reproachable affairs are found in the isnaad: Dawud Ibn Abi Asim did not hear from Ibn Mas'ud (Rady'Allahu anhu); Abdu'l-Malik Ibn Jarih is a mudallis and he possesses irsaal; Umar lbn Haarud was accused of lying. Due to that, Ibnu'l-Jawzi, said: "This hadith is fabricated without a doubt, and its isnaad is futile." [al-Binaayah, 9/382; Tahdhibu't-Tahdhib, 3/189; 6/405; 7/501]
🔰Statements in affirmation of the Attributes and a refutation upon the Jahmiyyah
🍃Imam Abu Hanifah said: "Allah is not to be described with the attributes of the creation. And His anger and His pleasure are two Attributes from His Attributes, without inquiry into their modality (bilaa kayf), and this is the statement of Ahlu's-Sunnah wa'l-Jamaa'ah.
♨️He becomes angry, and He becomes pleased, and it is not to be said: His anger is His punishment and His pleasure is His reward. And we describe Him as He described Himself; One, Eternal, He does not beget, nor is He begotten, and there is none equal to Him, the Ever-Living, All-Capable, All-Hearing, Ever-Watchful, All-Knowing. The Hand of Allah is above their hands. It is not like the hands of His creation, and His Face is not like the faces of His creation." [al-Fiqhu'l-Absat, 56]

💠The Creed of Abu Ḥanifa, Al-Numan bin Thabit bin Zuṭa bin Marzuban (D.150H)
💢Part : 2
🔰Imam Abu Hanifah said: "And He has a hand and a face and dhaat (essence), as Allah (jalla jalaluhu) mentions in the Qur'an. So whatever Allah (jalla jalaluhu) mentioned in the Qur'an in regards to the face and the hand and the essence, then these are His Attributes without inquiry into their modality (bilaa kayf). And it is not to be said that His hand is His power, or His ni'mah (bounty), because it is nullification of the Attribute, and it is the statement of the people of al-Qadar and al-I'tizaal.” [al-Fiqhu'l-Akbar, 302]
🍃Imam Abu Hanifah said: "It is not befitting for anyone to say anything about the dhaat (essence) of Allah. Rather, He is to be described with what He described Himself, and he is not to say anything about Allah based upon his opinion. Blessed and Exalted is Allah, Lord of the Worlds." [⭕️3]
[⭕️3-Mullaa Ali al-Qaari al-Hanafi (d.1014H) writes, clarifying the creed of Imam Abu Hanifah, after mentioning the fatuous narration of Imam Malik "Istawaa is known, but how is unknown."; "Likewise, our great Imam (i.e., Abu Hanifah) has the same stance as this position (of Imam Malik), and the same is the case with every ayah and hadith from the Mutashaabihaat (unclear ayat) such as hand, eye, face and other than these from the attributes.
So the meanings of the attributes are known, as far as the modality is concerned, then this is not known; because the understanding of 'how' is branched onto the knowledge of the modality of the Dhaat (essence of Allah) and its reality. Therefore, if this (knowledge of the modality of the Dhaat of Allah) is unknown, how can the modality of the attributes be understood?
The safe and beneficial conclusion in this regard is that Allah (azza wajal) be described with what He has described Himself and with what His Messenger (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) has described Him without tahrif (distortion), ta'til (divesting Allah of the attribute), without takyif (asking how) and tamthil (resemblance).
Rather, the names and attributes are established for Him, and resemblance to the creation is negated. So your establishment would be free from tashbih (resemblance), whilst your negation would be free from ta'til (denial). Whoever negates the reality of istiwaa has thereby divested (Allah of an attribute), and whoever makes a resemblance for Him to the istiwaa of the creation is a Mushabbih. But whoever says, 'Istiwaa' without any likeness for Him, he is upon tawhid and free from any blame." [Ali al-Qaari, Mirqaatu'l Mafaatih Sharh Mishkaatub Masaabih, 8/251]

💢Imam Abu Hanifah said: "And Allah (jalla jalaluhu) is called upon upwards, and not downwards, because downwards is not a quality of Rububiyyah (Lordship) and Uluhiyyah (Divinity) in anything." [al-Fiqhu'l-Absat, 51]
🔰Imam Abu Hanifah said: "And He (azza wajal) becomes angry and He becomes pleased, and it is not to be said that His anger is His punishment and His pleasure is His reward." [al-Fiqhu'l-Absat, 56]

🔰Imam Abu Hanifah said: "And His attributes are dhaatiyyah (related to His essence) and fi’liyyah (related to His action).

Affirming the attributes necessitates that al-Waajib (i.e., Allah) is numerous. And this statement is known by necessity to be corrupt. For verily the affirmation of a thing in an abstract sense from all of the attributes means one cannot picture it existing outside of that. And the mind will only be left thinking that it does not exist, and that is the most extreme form of ta'til (denial).
And this statement has led people to statements of Allah being everywhere and in everything. And this is worse than the disbelief of the Christians. For verily the Christian specified it to the Messiah, but these people use it universally on all of the creation. And from the implications of this kind of tawhid:
is the belief that Fir'awn and his people completed iman, knowing Allah in reality. And from it's implications: is that the worshippers of idols are on truth and reward, and verily they only worship Allah and not other than Him. And from its implications: is that there is no difference between forbiddance, and permissibility, between the mother, and the sister, and the strange woman.
And there is no difference between water and khamr (intoxicants), and adultery and marriage. And it implies that everything is from one source. No, rather He is that one source.

💠Imam Abu Hanifah said: "Allah (jalla jalaluhu) created the creation pure from kufr (disbelief) and iman (faith). Then He (azza wajal) spoke to them and commanded them and prohibited them. So whoever disbelieved, disbelieved with his action and his inkaar (rejection) and his juhud (denial) of the truth by forsaking Allah (jalla jalaluhu), and whoever believed, believed with his action, and his iqraar (affirmation) and his tasdiq (attestation) with the success of Allah (jalla jalaluhu) and His aid for him." [al-Fiqhu'l-Akbar, 302]
🔰Imam Abu Hanifah said: "And the progeny of Adam came out of his loins looking like specks. So He made them intelligent and spoke to them and commanded them with iman and prohibited them from disbelief. So they affirmed Rububiyyah (Lordship) for Him, so that was iman from them, so that was the fitrah that they were born upon. And whosoever disbelieved with disbelief after that, then indeed he changed and became altered. And whomsoever believed and attested, then indeed he became firm and remained established." [al-Fiqhu'l-Akbar, 302]
💢Imam Abu Hanifah said: "And He (azza wajal) is the one who ordered and pre-destined things, and nothing can occur in this world, nor in the Hereafter, except with His will and knowledge, and divine pre-ordainment and pre-decree, and He has written in al-Lawhul-Mahfudh." [al-Fiqhu'l-Akbar, 302-303]
🍃Imam Abu Hanifah said: "No one from amongst His creation is compelled to disbelieve, nor to have faith. Rather, He created them individually, and iman and kufr are the actions of the servants. And Allah (jalla jalaluhu) knows the one who disbelieves as a disbeliever during his condition of disbelief, so when he believes after that, then He knows him as a believer, and He loves the one whom He knows to change." [al-Fiqhu'l-Akbar, 303]
⭕️Statements in regards to iman
💠Imam Abu Hanifah said: "And iman (faith) is iqraar (affirmation) and tasdiq (attestation).” [al-Fiqhu'l-Akbar, 304]
🔰Imam Abu Hanifah said: "Iiman is affirmation with the tongue, and attestation in the heart, and affirmation alone cannot be iman." [Kitaabu'l-Wasiyyah, 2]
♨️Imam Abu Hanifah said: "And iman does not increase, nor does it decrease.” [Kitaabu'l-Wasiyyah, 3] [⭕️5]
[⭕️5- His statement in denial of the increase of iman and its decrease, and his statement in labeling iman, and stating that it is attestation in the heart and affirmation with the limbs, and that the action is left out of the reality of iman.
This statement of his is what separates between the aqidah (creed) of Imam Abu Hanifah in regards to iman, and the aqidah of the rest of the scholars of Islam such as Malik, ash-Shaafi'i, Ahmad, Ishaq, Bukhari, and other than them, and the truth is with them.
The statement of Imam Abu Hanifah is in opposition to the correct position, but he gets a reward either way. Indeed it has been mentioned by Ibn Abdu'l-Barr and Ibn Abi'l-Izz that Imam Abu Hanifah retracted this statement, and Allah knows best. [Ibn Abdu'l-Barr, at-Tamhid, 9/247; Ibn Abi'l-Izz al-Hanafi, Sharhu'l-Aqidati't-Tahawiyyah, 359]

⭕️Statements concerning the companions
💥Imam Abu Hanifah said: "We do not mention anyone from amongst the companions [⭕️6] of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam), except with goodness." [al-Fiqhu'l-Akbar, 304]
[⭕️6- RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: "You will not cease to be upon goodness as long as there are amongst you those who saw me and accompanied me. By Allah! You will not cease to be upon goodness as long as there are amongst you those who saw those who saw me and accompanied me." [Ibn Abi Shaybah, al-Musannaf, #3427; Ibn Hajar, Fathu'l-Bari, 1/7]
Imam Bukhari said: "Whoever from amongst the Muslims accompanied the Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) or saw him, then he is from amongst his companions." [Sahih al-Bukhari] Imam Nawawi said: "The correct position is that whoever accompanied RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam), then that person is from his companions." [Sharh Sahih Muslim, 16/85]
And Ibn Kathir said: "The fact that just seeing him is enough for one to be called a companion is clearly stated by Bukhari, Abu Zur'ah and others who have written books in regards to the names of the companions; such as Ibn Abdu'l-Barr, Ibn Mandah, Abu Musa al-Madani, Ibnu'l Athir..." [Mukhtasar Ulumu'l-Hadith, 174]
Ibn Hajar said: "The most correct of what I have come across is that a companion is one who met RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) whilst believing in him, and died as a Muslim. So that includes one whoremained with him for a short time, and those who narrated from him and those who did not, and those who saw him but did not sit with hitn and those who could not see hitn due to blindness." [al-Isaabah, 1/4-5]
💢Imam Abu Hanifah said: "And we do not declare ourselves free from anyone from amongst the companions of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam), nor do we attach ourselves to one of them, to the exclusion of another." [al-Fiqhu'l-Absat, 40]
💠Imam Abu Hanifah used to say: "The stay of one of them with RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) for one hour is better than the righteous action of one of us done throughout his lifetime, even if it is long." [Manaaqib Abi Hanifah, 76]
🔰Imam Abu Hanifah said: "And we affirm that the most excellent of the people after our Prophet, Muhammad (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam), is Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (Rady'Allahu anhu), then Umar (Rady'Allahu anhu), then Uthman (Rady'Allahu anhu), then Ali (Rady'Allahu anhu)." [al-Wasiyyah, 14]
💢Imam Abu Hanifah said: "The most excellent of the people after RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) are Abu Bakr (Rady'Allahu anhu) and Umar (Rady'Allahu anhu) and Uthman (Rady'Allahu anhu) and Ali (Rady'Allahu anhu). And we refrain from all of the companions of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam), except when mentioning them in a beautiful manner.” [an-Nuru'l-Laami]
⭕️Prohibition from kalaam and controversies in the religion
💠Imam Abu Hanifah said: "The people of desires in al-Basra are many, and I entered it twenty odd times, sometimes I stayed there for a year or more, or less, under the impression that the science of kalaam (rhetoric) was the greatest of sciences." [al-Kurdi, Manaaqib Abi Hanifah, 137]

🔰Among the causes of having worries disappear and sins forgiven is sending ṣalāh (supplications for peace) upon the Prophet ﷺ, and the effect of sending ṣalāh upon him on Friday is greatest.
💠Ubayy ibn Kaʻb, may Allah be pleased with him, said,
🔰"O Messenger of Allah, I frequently invoke the blessings of Allah upon you. How much of my supplications should I devote to you?"
💢He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said, "Whatever you wish." I said, "A quarter?" He said, "Whatever you wish, and if you do more, it is better for you." I said, "One half?" He said, "Whatever you wish, and if you do more, it is better for you." I said, "Two thirds?" He said, "Whatever you wish, and if you do more, it is better for you." I said, "Shall I devote all my supplication to (invoking blessings upon) you?"
💥He said, "Then, you will be freed from your worry and your sin will be forgiven."
[At-Tirmithi: good-authentic; Al-Haakim in Al-Mustadrak]
💠Anas bin Maalik (radhi Allaahu anhu) said: Verily the Prophet (salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said:
💥Whoever sends Salah upon me once Allah will send ten (blessings) upon him and remove ten of his sins and raise his rank by ten levels.
[Imam Ahmad in his Musnad, Imam Bukharee in Adabul Mufrad #642 and #643. Jami Sagheer #6359 authenticated by Al Abaanee]
💠“Truly Allah and His angels say Salah on the Prophet, O you believers, recite Salah on him and send Salam on him completely.” [Al-Ahzab | C.33: A.56]
💠 Ibn Abbas (Rady'Allahu anhu) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, said,
‼️"Whoever forgets to send blessings upon me, he has missed a path to Paradise."
[Sunan Ibn Mäjah 908]
