Comparison of Abu Hanifa and Hazrat Salman Farsi by Hanfi Scholar

Ibn-ul-Abideen Hanfi writes in His book, Rad-ul-Mokhtar ala Dur-ul-Mukhtar (رد المحتار على الدر المختار )

وأما سلمان الفارسي رضي الله تعالى عنه فهو وإن كان أفضل من أبي حنيفة من حيث الصحبة ، فلم يكن في العلم والاجتهاد ونشر الدين وتدوين أحكامه كأبي حنيفة

As regards to Salman Farsi, He was superior to Abu Hanifa in regards to Companionship, but not in regards to Knowledge, Ijtihad, propagation of religion and compilation of Orders.

Initial Scholars of Fiqh as per Mahmood Ahmad Ghazi

Mahmood Ghazi writes in his Muhazirat Hadeeth, p. 70

 

Those Fuqaha who are of initial times, due to whom Fiqh got its shape, They were all Scholars of Hadeeth. Imam Malik was a Scholar of Hadeeth, Ahmad bin Hanbal was Scholar of Hadeeth, Imam Auzai was Scholar of Hadeeth. Imam Abu Ja’far Tibri was Scholar of Hadeeth, Sufian Thori and Sufian ibn Ainiyya were Scholars of Hadeeth. These all were those people due to whom different Sects of Fiqh originated. This is because they thought over Hadeeth with a view that which rulings can be deduced from it. Those who pondered on Hadeeth to find out rulings of Aqaid, like Hasan Basri and others like him, They formulated I’lm-ul-Kalam. And those who pondered over it to find rulings of Fiqh, they pioneered Fiqh

‘

حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي يُوسُفَ: أَكَانَ أَبُو حَنِيفَةَ جَهْمِيًّا؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قُلْتُ:
أَكَانَ مُرْجِئًا؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ.

Any Verse or Hadeeth against opinion of Hanafis, is either abrogated or should be explained accordingly: al Karkhi

One of the famous Scholars of Hanafi Sect, Abu Hasan Ubaidullah al Karkhi, says in his book, Usool al Karkhi [1]

الاصل: کل ایۃ تخالف قول اصحابنا فانھا تحمل علی النسخ او علی ترجیح و الاولی ان تحمل علی التاویل من جھۃ التوفیق
