Tarikh Baghdad Volume 13 page 403 Abu Hanifa's disrespect of Abu Bakr In Tarikh Baghdad: "Muhammad bin Amir Tayr states that in Damascus he saw in a dream a scholar was dragging a man by his shirt, 'This man has destroyed the Deen of Muhammad - I asked and was told that Abu Hanifa was holding Abu Bakr by his collar" Tarikh Baghdad Volume 13 page 413 The Scholars of Hadith have also condemned Imam Abu Hanifa, including al-Bukhari.

Imam Bukhari classified Abu Hanifa as weak In Risala Tarjee Madhab ai Shafee Imam Ahl'ul Sunnah Allamah Fakhraddin Radhi quoting "Asthaghsai al Ahfhaam": Ismail al-Bukhari in his Tarikh al Kabeer, Chapter al Meem has mentioned Muhammad bin Idiries Shaafi that died in 204 Hijri, Bukhari was aware that he narrated many Hadith despite this Bukhari did not classify him as a weak narrator, if Shaafi was weak he would have mentioned him in the same way he classified Abu Hanifa as weak before the people.

Risala Tarjee Madhab ai Shafee by Allamah Fakhraddin Radhi page 132 So al-Bukhari deems the Imam of the Deobandis as weak. Imam Muslim bin Hajaj classified Abu Hanifa as weak In Tarikh al Baghdad page 421 Volume 13: "Imam of Ahl'ul Sunnah Muslim bin Hajaaj said Numan bin Thabit never narrated any important Hadith" Tarikh Baghdad Volume 13 page 421 Bukhari and Muslim are your popes / authentic Imams and considered your great Imam as worthless.

Whilst these Shaykhs considered your Imam weak and took no hadith from him, they considered Rafidi who you consider kaffir, Shia (who did not adhere to the ways of Abu Bakr, Umar and cursed Muawiya) as reliable and subsequently took hadith from them166. Imam Bukhari in Tarikh Saghir whilst narrating Numan's death quotes the sheer pleasure expressed by Sufyaan al-Thawri. The six Imams of Sihah Sittah did not adhere to the teachings of your Imam.

It is indeed sad that you quote Fatwas on Shias and have failed to notify the takfir issued against your own Imam! By way of example we will cite the name Abd ar-Razzaq as-Sanani who was a famous scholar of hadeeth who lived in Yemen. He died in 211 hijrah. Adh-Dhahabi called him 'one of the most trusted traditionists among all scholars'.

[Adh-Dhahabi, Meezan al-itidal, volume 2, page 609] When Ahmad bin Hanbal was asked whether he knew of any hadeeth reported by one better than Abd ar-Razzaq , his answer was negative.
