Imam Hanifa was a tabieen

[Abid Ali Hussain]

Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

what i need to know to settle an argument is what is the single biggest proof that Imam Abu Hanifa Radi Allahu anhu was a tabieen , if someone can give an authentic ref please. I assume that is the sunni viewpoint?

Dear Brother


Ibn `Abidin Rahmatullahi ’alayh relates in his al Durr al mukhtar that Imam Abu Hanifa Rahmatullahi ’alayhsaid: 'If it were not for two years, I would have perished.' Ibn `Abidin Rahmatullahi ’alayhcomments:

For two years Imam Abu Hanifa Rahmatullahi ’alayh accompanied Sayyidina Imam Ja`far al-Sadiq alayhis 'salamthe Great Grandson of Prophet Muhammad Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam and a Great Sufi
Imam Abu Hanifa Rahmatullahi ’alayh acquired the spiritual knowledge from Sayyidina Imam Ja`far al-Sadiq alayhis 'salam that made Imam Abu Hanifa Rahmatullahi ’alayh a gnostic in the Way of Tasawwuf or Sufism


Since Sayyidina Imam Ja`far al-Sadiq alayhis 'salam was a Tabieen so was Imam Abu Hanifa Rahmatullahi ’alayh
