===Relationship with Imam al-Baqir (a) and Imam al-Sadiq (a)=== | |||
Some [[Sunni]] sources have pointed to the relationship between Abu Hanifa and two Shi'a [[Imams (a)]] with respect to the transmission of hadiths. Al-Dhahabi and al-Qaramani have referred to his transmission of hadiths from [[Imam al-Baqir (a)]] and [[Imam al-Sadiq (a)]]. Abu l-Hajjaj al-Mazi mentioned Imam al-Baqir (a) as one of his masters. Other Sunni scholars, such as Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Ibn Sabbagh al-Maliki, and Sulayman al-Qunduzi said that he transmitted hadiths from Imam al-Sadiq (a). | |||
[[Ibn Abi l-Hadid al-Mu'tazili]] explicitly said that Abu Hanifa was Imam al-Sadiq's (a) student. There is a well-known statement attributed to Abu Hanifa: "if there were not those two years, Nu'man [Abu Hanifa] would be nothing" ({{ia|لولا السنتان، لهک نعمان}}). It is said that the statement was first cited in the 14th/20th century in the short book, ''Tuhfa al-ithna 'asharaiyya''. Some people have interpreted this statement as referring to Abu Hanifa's studies with Imam al-Sadiq (a) for two years. | |||
Others believe that it refers to his studies with [[Zayd b. 'Ali]], and not Imam al-Sadiq (a), because he did learn hadiths from Zayd. However, the authenticity of such an attribution to Abu Hanifa was called into question, because it cannot be found in early sources. Some people have suggested that the phrase "{{ia|سنتان}}" in this statement should be read as “Sunnatan” (the two traditions), rather than "sanatan" (the two years), in which case it would not refer to his studies. | |||
