By day he traded silk honestly and taught fiqh; his nights were brought to life with prayer. Imam ash-Shafi‘i said that people in fiqh depend on him. The fourth book of Tracing the Scholars of Islam tells the story of Imam Abu Hanifah from the Qur’an, authentic Hadith and the recognised books of biography, with fabricated Hadith and unproven stories clearly marked. “Are those who know equal to those who do not know?”
“Is one who is devoutly obedient during periods of the night, prostrating and standing [in prayer], fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of his Lord, [like one who does not]? Say, ‘Are those who know equal to those who do not know?’ Only they will remember [who are] people of understanding.”
