why afraid when talking of similarities, when we love to talk against without being this much considerate?

I’ve read that Imam Hanifa was a student of Imam Jafar, so there bound to be many similarities in both Fiqahs. I’ve practically seen this that the views for a particular matter were similar from scholars of both the sects in Geo TV’s program Aalim Online.

Moreover, Quran invited ihl e kitaab to talk about similarities, then why this can’t be done for two different sects of same religion?

There is a major misconception that Hz. Imam Jaffar as-Sadiq (rahimullah) was the author of Fiqh Jafariyyah. This is False.

Imam Jaffar (rahimullah) authored the following books:

1.) Taqseem-i-Ru’ya, 2.) Jami’atu fil-Jafr, and 3.) Kitab-ul-Jafr.

Imam Jaffar (rahimullah) was a great scholar – par excellence. Imam Abu Hanifa (rahimullah) and Imam Malik (rahimullah) did study under his care for couple of years.

These two went on to write books in Fiqh which carry their names. So in fact they are the ones who are real inheritors of knowledge of Hz. Imam Jaffar as-Sadiq (rahimullah)!

Ja’far bin Husain al-Qummi was first Shia scholar to write book on Fiqh for the Shia. So the fiqh Jaffariyah is attributed to his name.
