Salaam Sister If only you had read the history from all the sources and not select version you would have found that Abu Hanifa (ra), Imam Malik (ra) Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal (ra), Imam Shafi (ra) and many many scholars of repute suffered at the hands of Authorities and some paying with unspeakable torture to death.

interesting…r u saying tht ur caliphs suck as the likes of harun, mamun, mansur were oppressors who oppressed both shia and sunni imams?..
Abu hanifa, Imam Malik and the other Imams were one of the thousands of students tht attended the lectures of Imams of the Ahlay Bayt…kissed their hands and addressed them as the son of the messenger of God…Quran commands love of the Ahlay Bayt and Rasool left them behind along with Quran for guidance…they r the masters of Abu Hanifah and Imam Malik as said by Abu Hanifah himself so ur attempt to compare is unjust and invalid…only a one eyes nasibi like Ibn taymiyah will draw out such comparisons in his futile attempt to belittle the progeny of the Prophet SAWW…

“Abu Hanifa sat for a long time at Imam Baqar’s feet and acquired from him much valuable knowledge of Fiqh and Hadith not available anywhere else. Shias and Sunnis are agreed that Abu Hanifa derived much of his learning from Baqar. He learned a great deal from the imam’s son, Ja’far al-Sadiq also, which fact is generally mentioned in the history books. Ibn Tamiyah, however, denies this on the ground that Abu Hanifa and Ja’far al-Sadiq were contemporaries and equals, which ruled out the probability of the former being the latter’s pupil. But I consider this sheer imprudence and lack of comprehension on Ibn Tamiyah’s part. For all his greatness as an original thinker and master of fiqh, Abu Hanifa could not compare in learning with Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq. The Ahl’ul bayt were the fountainhead of Fiqh and Hadith and, in fact, all religious learning. “The master of the house knows best what is in it”, to quote a well-known Arabic saying”.
Imam Abu Hanifah, Life and Work, page 24

Imam Jaffar (ra) did not write any books on Fiqh – this is known fact.

He was great Islamic scholar and he taught fiqh to thousands of pupils and the best of his pupils in Fiqh were Imam Abu Hanifa (ra) and Imam Malik (ra) who went on to write books on Fiqh.

So they are the ones who carried on the Islamic knowledge of Imam Jaffar (ra)

Imam Jaffar (ra) was a renowned scientist/mathematician and Jabir b Hayan was the best student in this field.

Imam Abu Hanifa (ra) and Imam Malik (ra) were contemporaries of Imam Jaffar (ra)

Imam Jafar (ra) 83 A.H - 148 H. Imam Abu Hanifa (ra) 80 — 148 AH Imam Malik (ra) 93 AH – 179 AH Imam ShafiI (ra) 148 AH 204
Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal 164 AH - 241 AH

Whereas Shia Fiqh books were compiled in the fourth and the fifth century of Hijrah ( well after the disappearance of 12th Shia Imam) are as follows:

Al-Kafi of Kulayni (By Ash-Shaykh Muhammad Bin Yaqoob Al-Kulayni Al-Razi d.329 A.H.)
Man La Yahzarul Faqih of Shaykh Sadooq (By Shaykh Abu Ja’far Muhammad bin Ali Bin Al-Husain Bin Babaway Al-Qummi d.381 A.H.)
Al Istibsar of Tusi (By Ash Shaykh Abu Ja’far Muhammad bin Al-Hasan At-Tusi d.460 A.H.)
Tahzeebul Ahkam of Tusi (By Ash Shaykh Abu Ja’far Muhammad bin Al-Hasan At-Tusi d.460 A.H.)
Wasa’il ush-Shi’aAl-Ḥurr Al-ʿĀmili (1033/1624 - 1104/1693)
Jame’-ul-hadith ash-Shia by Sayed Husain Al-Burujardi in 1368 A.H

I wud hold to comment on the sunni book of hadiths…when they came to b and who the narrate from…but u r definitely not naive enough to know the sources of compilation of these hadiths…

The letter 58 below clearly shows that Imam Ali (ra) was on same belief as his opponent (Hz. Mu’awiyah (ra) not iota of difference!

.
**
A letter sent by Imam Ali (a) to the people of various provinces, giving them the causes of the Battle of Siffin. ]
Nahjul Balaagha - Letter 58**

The letter below clearly shows that Imam Ali (ra) deemed selection Hz’ Abu Bakr, Hz. Umar and Hz. Uthman (May Allah be pleased with them all) per approval and pleasure of Allah!
*
Verily, those who took the oath of allegiance to Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman have sworn allegiance to me. Now those who were present at the election have no right to go back against their oaths of allegiance and those who were not present on the occasion have no right to oppose me. And so far as Shura (limited franchise or selection) was concerned it was supposed to be limited to Muhajirs and Ansars and it was also supposed that whomsoever they selected, became caliph as per approval and pleasure of Allah. If somebody goes against such decision, then he should be persuaded to adopt the course followed by others, and if he refuses to fall in line with others, then war is the only course left open to be adopted against him and as he has refused to follow the course followed by the Muslims, Allah will let him wander in the wilderness of his ignorance and schism. *Nahjul Balaagha - Letter 6

u have tried this trick before knowing very well in ur heart the true character of Muawiya and the damage him and his family caused…I will comment comprehensively on this in a short while…God willing…
