1) IMAM ABU HANIFA (R.H) 1.1) Abu Haneefah (d. 150H) (rahimahullaah) said: Adhere to the athar (narration) and the tareeqah (way) of the Salaf (Pious Predecessors) and beware of newly invented matters for all of it is innovation [Reported by As-Suyootee in Sawn al Mantaq wal-Kalaam p.32] 1.2) When a hadeeth is found to be saheeh, then that is my madhhab. [Ibn Aabideen in al-Haashiyah (1/63) and in his essay Rasm al-Mufti (1/4 from the Compilation of the Essays of Ibn Aabideen), Shaikh Saalih al-Fulaani in Eeqaaz al-Himam (p. 62) and others. Ibn Aabideen quoted from Sharh al-Hidaayah by Ibn al-Shahnah al-Kabeer, the teacher of Ibn al-Humaam] 1.3) It is haram (prohibited) for someone who does not know my evidence to give fatwaa (verdicts) on the basis of my words. Another narration adds, ... for we are mortals: we say one thing one day, and take it back the next day. [Ibn Abdul Barr in Al-Intiqaa fi Fadaail ath-Thalaathah al-Aimmah al-Fuqahaa (p. 145), Ibn al-Qayyim in Ilaam al-Mooqieen (2/309), Ibn Aabideen in his Footnoes on Al-Bahr ar-Raaiq (6/293) and in Rasm al-Mufti (pp. 29, 32) & Sharaani in Al-Meezaan (1/55) with the second narration. Similar narrations exist on the authority of Abu Haneefahs companions Zafar, Abu Yoosuf and Aafiyah ibn Yazeed; cf. Eeqaaz (p. 52). Ibn al-Qayyim firmly certified its authenticity on the authority of Abu Yoosuf in Ilaam al-Mooqieen (2/344).]
