Tawassul of the Sahabahs

Re: Tawassul of the Sahabahs

Now there is a confusion!!!

Imam Abu Hanfia believes that if any one calls Allah, while referring to the Prophet (PBUH) of any other dead person, then that is shirk... if requried i can scan and post the whole page ( along with ref ofcourse..)

Now if Imam Abu Hanfia don't like the so called idea of tawasul, then how come others developed it and produced ahadees for this?
