Imam Malik condemned Imam of the Deobandis Abu Hanifa In...
Imam Malik condemned Imam of the Deobandis Abu Hanifa In "Shi'a aur Sunni" by Dr Islam Mahmood Misri, an article in an Egyptian magazine "Mukhthar al Islami" - issue 90, 8th edition, Jamadhi al Awwal 1406 Hijri on page 13 we read: "Imam Malik said about Abu Hanifa that he is the worst of people and it would have been easier for him to raise his sword against the Muslims".
Imam Maliks Fatwa that the Fitnah of the Abu Hanifa is worse than the Fitnah of Iblis In Tarikh al Baghdad we read: Hadhrath Imam Malik said that for the Muslims Abu Hanifas Fitnah is more damaging than the Fitnah of Shaytaan". Tarikh al Baghdad Volume 13 page 392 Abu Hanifas Fitnah is compared to Dajjal On the same page under the Chapter "Dhikr Numan" Abdullah Rahman said that I dont know if after Dajjals Fitnah there exists any bigger Fitnah than the opinions of Abu Hanifa.
Further attacks by Imam Malik on Imam Abu Hanifa In the same book we read further comments by Imam Malik on the Imam of the Deobandis: Imam Malik bin Anas stated no one had damaged Islam more than Numan. Tarikh al Baghdad Volume 13 page 396 Once Malik asked Walid bin Muslim: do people listen to Abu Hanifa in your city? he said: yes.
Imam Malik replied its amazing that your city has not been destroyed.Imam Malik said Abu Hanifa mocked Allahs Deen whoever does so is irreligious." Tarikh al Baghdad Volume 13 page 400 Imam of Ahl ul Sunnah Idrees Shaafi condemned Imam Abu Hanifa Imam Shaafi in "Tabaqat ai Kubra" writes: I have read Abu Hanifa Numans books and Numan and his followers proclaim that we believe in the Quran and Allah (swt) but they are opposed to it.
In "Isthaqsai al Ahfam" it's written: .that there was a debate between Imam Shaafi and Muhammad bin Hasan who was the student of Imam Azam and this is recorded by Yaqoodh Hamoowi in Muajum al Adbha by Shah Waliyullah in Risala Insaaf fi biyaan Subu ay Ikhthilaaf and Radhi in his Risala Tarjhi Madhab Shaafi that Shaafi said I said to Muhammad bin Hasan that I have read you book and apart from bismillah it is all wrong. This is a slap in the face of the Deobandis.
Another appraisal of Abu Hanifa In Tarikh Baghdad we read: "Imam Shaafi said that no-one more mischievous has appeared in Islam than Abu Hanifa". Tarikh Baghdad Volume 13 page 398 Again Baghdad records this: Imam Shafii said that Imam Azams Fatwas are like a chameleon it continually changes its colours. Tarikh Baghdad Volume 13 page 411 Ahmad, Malik and Shaafi have attacked your beloved Imam!
