This book is based on the teachings of Abu Hanifa and his students, namely Imam Muhammad, Abu Yusuf and Zufar; and will provide the reader with a brief look as to why the Hanafi Madhhab is the most widely embraced in the world today.
Ahmad Ibn Hanbal said, âIf in any matter there is agreement between three people, then one pays no attention to the verdict of anyone who disagrees with them.â Someone asked him, âWho are they?â He answered, âAbu Hanifa, Abu Yusuf and Muhammad Ibn al-Hasan.'
