Re: The Four Madhabs
I will tel you now During the time of Abu Haneefa Islam was spreadign like fire. Due to this lots of cultures being inculcated people had to abandon lots of previous rites what they used to follow.
Like Abu haneefa cricketpalya he is not from Persia but from Iraq. There were lots of daeef, munkar and baatil hadith spread. But to keep the Prophetic tradition alive decisions had to be taken to only provide with authentic hadeeth.
Imam Abu Haneefa was wise, witty and good for making decisions. He only gave his ijtaha or opinion from the Quran and what Hadeeth had reached him. This even contained some daeef hadith also.
Why is it told to the Ummaah to follow Sitta al Saheeh because Imam Bukhari could not cover all the topics of Prophetic traditions so it was advised to read Imam Musim and the rest Hadith.
