b"'The Legacy of Imam Abu Hanifah' - Delivered by Shaykh Riyadh ul Haq on Saturday January 30th 2010 at The Rex Centre (Birmingham, UK) \\n\\nVideo: https://youtu.be/KSaUlA8jCjA\\n\\nIm\\u0101m Ab\\u016b \\u1e24an\\u012bfah is often referred to by the title al-Im\\u0101m al-A\\u02bf\\u1e93am, the Greatest Im\\u0101m, for he left a great legacy in the science of fiqh. Despite this, the scholarship of Im\\u0101m Ab\\u016b \\u1e24an\\u012bfah is repeatedly attacked and scrutinised. For example, it is often suggested that he did not know Arabic and also lacked knowledge of \\u1e25ad\\u012bth. Thus, his credibility as an Im\\u0101m is questioned and his fiqh (school of thought) are considered by some to be baseless and in contradiction to the Qur\\u02be\\u0101n and \\u1e25ad\\u012bth.\\n\\nIm\\u0101m Sufy\\u0101n al-Thawr\\u012b said about him, \\u2018Anyone who hates Ab\\u016b \\u1e24an\\u012bfah or speaks ill of him can only be one of two people, either he is completely ignorant or he is envious of him\\u2019. Im\\u0101m al-Aa\\u02bfmash, a well-known Mu\\u1e25addith, once addressed a gathering of jurists and said, \\u2018O assembly of jurists, you are the doctors and we are the pharmacists and you O, Ab\\u016b \\u1e24an\\u012bfah , you have taken both.\\u2019\\n \\nA poet read in his honour, \\u2018They envied the young man when they could not keep up with his pace. So people are his adversaries and his enemies like the co-wives of a beautiful and fair maid who say of her that she is ugly merely out of spite and envy. So they are unable to withstand his greatness, his piety and his knowledge. And when there is no argument then the next stage is character assassination\\u2019.\\n\\nFind out more about this towering individual and the true legacy he left behind and what he bequeathed the Ummah by listening to this highly motivational and extremely educational speech.\\n\\n**********************************************************************\\n\\nWebsite: www.akacademy.org/\\nYouTube: http://www.youtube.com/alkawtharacademy\\nFacebook: www.facebook.com/alkawtharacademy\\nTwitter: www.twitter.com/alkawthar\\nInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/alkawtharacademy\\nTunein: http://tunein.com/radio/Shaykh-Riyadh-ul-Haq-p615599/\\n\\n**********************************************************************"
