Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih Al-Uthyameen answers: “...so, I say: May Allah forgive Nawawi, Ibn Hajar Al-‘Asqalaani and whosoever resembles their situation from whom Allah benefited Islam and the Muslims. Say Ameen to that. End quote. [Liqaatul ul Baab Al-Maftooh (43/Question 9)]
al-Albani says: "Shaykh al-Albanian says, is an oppression to say they (ie an-Nawawi and Ibn Hajar al 'Asqalani) and those like them, including to the ranks of heresy." Here

Sufyan al-Thawri
praised Imam Abu Hanifa
when he said:
"We were in front of Abu Hanifa
like small birds in front of the falcon"
Al-Shafi`i said: "Knowledge revolves around three men: Malik, al-Layth, and Ibn `Uyayna."
Al-Dhahabi commented: "Rather, it revolves also around al-Awza`i, al-Thawri, Ma`mar, Abu Hanifa, Shu`ba, and the two Hammads [ibn Zayd and ibn Salama]."
Sufyan al-Thawri praised Abu Hanifa when he said: "We were in front of Abu Hanifa like small birds in front of the falcon," and Sufyan stood up for him when Abu Hanifa visited him after his brother's death, and he said: "This man holds a high rank in knowledge, and if I did not stand up for his science I would stand up for his age, and if not for his age then for his Godwariness (wara`), and if not for his Godwariness then for his jurisprudence (fiqh)."
Ibn al-Mubarak praised Abu Hanifa and called him a sign of Allah. Both Ibn al-Mubarak and Sufyan al-Thawri said: "Abu Hanifa was in his time the most knowledgeable of all people on earth."
Ibn Hajar also related that Ibn al-Mubarak said: "If Allah had not rescued me with Abu Hanifa and Sufyan [al-Thawri] I would have been like the rest of the common people."
Dhahabi relates it as: "I would have been an innovator."
The Ash'arî Shaykh Ab al-Muzaffar al-Isfarâyînî [d.471] said in his book
al-Tabsîr fîl-Dîn:
"Al-Fiqh al-Akbar was narrated to us by the trustworthy through a reliable way and a sound chain of transmission from Nasîr ibn Yahyâ [up to] Abu Hanîfa."
[In al-Tabsïr (p. 113) as cited by al-Kawtharï in his introduction to al-Bayàdï's Ishàràt al-Maràm (p. 5).
The complete chain is:
'Alï ibn Ahmad al-Fàrisï <>Fiqh al-Akbar with the same chain. THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE PIOUS SALAF IN KALAM
Sadr al-Islam Imam al-Pazdawi [d.482] says in his book 'Usul ad-Din' pg. 15 under the first article: "The knowledge of Kalam is one in which scholars have differed on its learning, teaching and writing books regarding it. [Kalam] is the science which describes the articles of faith and the fundamentals of the religion which is obligatory on every muslim. Imam Abu Hanifah [rahimahullah] learnt this science and would debate with the mu'tazilites and other bidyis; and he used to teach this science to his students in his early days. He also wrote a few books in this discipline - some which have reached us and many were obliterated [maHaaha wa ghasalaha] by the ahl al-bid'ah.
Among his books which have reached us are:
'kitab al-`alim wa'l mut`allim' and 'kitab fiqh al-akbar'."
Imam al-Maghnisawi : "verily the book al-Fiqh al-akbar written by Imam al-A`zam, is a sound and widely accepted book"

Why offer Aschâ'riyyah the book
The question of the title appeared in a Wahhabi Forum www.ahlu (bida). Com.
The questioner thinks that what is in Fiqh al-Akbar something different than what the Aschaariyya in their books is.
The responses of the users showed a deep ignorance of these people.
Let us take time and have a look at it.
A brother there wrote: "Selam Aleykum
Brother of the video you posted quotes at the very beginning, Page 302 from the work of Abu Hanifa. The book is to offer the Ashari has only 80 pages. Since most have been reduced a lot or just summarized. "
Here we see that the Wahhabis have nothing with the traditional books of the Ahlus Sunnah on the hat but they simply parrot what they are told in the so-called weekend seminars.
The book al-Fiqh al-Akbar of Imam Abu Hanifa includes maximum ten pages. The book, which often cite the Wahhabis and that is the famous "p. 302" is from another book, and although from the commentary on al-Fiqh al- Akbar of Imam Ali al-Qariyy.It was not quoted in full but you failed to answer and the explanation of Imam al-Qari.
what do you think someone with the content of a work, bypassing the already content from the quran and sunnah and ta7rif ta3til do? who has no inhibitions while the quran its views to reinterpret the same, will not shrink from a learned book. fiqh al-akbar (which was not even written by Imam Abu Hanifa) is to my knowledge among the asha3irah and maturidiyah controversial and the interpretation of the works look as authentic to what Abu Hanifa, of course, the clear-mu3attila likely.
Again, a lie about my humble self. In the commentary of the book al-Fiqh al-Akbar, 90% of the observations mere translations of classical works. That is, each dot of al-Fiqh al-Akbar has been explained in the words of the great scholars of this ummah.Who says I would reinterpret something that will prove this for now. Secondly, he must also admit that he does not refute me, but the scholar who has made this statement.
As for the other allegation regarding the authenticity of the book and say that the Aschaariyya and deny the way I Maturidyya: Funny, but all commentators of Fiqh al-Akbar say the same thing, only the Wahhabi scholars say otherwise. One need only make a little smart to recognize that al-Fiqh al-Akbar only Ahl Sunnah scholars and comments through the representatives of the Maturidiyya and Aschaariyya school.Some of these names are in the foreword of the book.
illa wa-al-llahi Muschtaka.
Some remarks ibn Muhammed Revan:
"When I saw that the brother Abu Bilal wrote this nonsensical thread on the pseudo-Salafi forum a short answer, I saw also the opportunity to notice something about this among many lies and false knowledge disseminated Threads:
I'm assuming that many hardcore Hanafi maturidische Wahhabihasser suffering the effects of this (supposedly authentic) clear statements a little confused. One a Aschari Maliki to rescue the Hanafi maturidischen honor that obligates is already significant.
All I can say is Allah yahdik.
The only people who fall are in confusion regarding the statements of Imam Abu Hanifa al-'Adham rahimahullahu ta'ala, the Salafi.
Salafis this is probably unaware that we have been almost a year now well on our website:
www.ahlu-sunnah.de in the chapter "'Aqeedah" has an article - by me, a Maturidi, translated - with the title: Salafis, al -Fiqh al-Akbar and the truth.
For us it is not confusing in al-Fiqh al-Akbar, but if the Salafi would read correctly, there are many things that contradict them.
The brother of Abu Bilal cited comments are all Maturidiyya - Abu Layth al-excluded Samarqandi al-Hanafi. Thus, the Maturidiyya have not won the Maliki Ash'ari brother for help. And even if the book al-Fiqh al-Akbar is 99%, in line with the 'Aqeedah of Asch'ariyya and Maturidiyyah - differ for these two schools, only 8 points and only in terminology, etc.
But how many of our words are they ever reach the ears of the forgers and liars?Sincere heart, which the distortions of the Salafi had seen and the lies that they spread steadily over the other factions would be awake a long time ago, but due to the fanaticism can not let you - the Mubtad'i, Imam Ghazali says it is only save by the desire of Allah, while no debates, evidence and explanations to help etc.
So either the Quran or in the Maturidis Ascharis a book, or they argue that the Quran contains errors. Both seem impossible to me.
Allah yahdik. Any normal reader who has a little character and adab and tasted by the spirituality of Islam would have first Husnu Dhann make second and know exactly what is meant by this, but I forgot, so we write about Salafis! The 1 do anyway, and secondly they are not capable, because except for the stubborn text, the Salafi not understand.
The most amusing is that this thread was opened by a student, the question is really whether it was a Muschrik for now or not because he was playing spin the bottle.Yahdik Allah! Thus we see again where the line leads astray the Wahhabis - young people playing spin the bottle insult the large and Imam al-Nawawi, Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani and dozens of other 'ulama, whose names would fill several books, tapes.
And how much spiritual outpourings of pure idiocy and blindness can still be found on this forum - may Allah forgive them - Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaa'ah on - but who has time to respond to any nonsense to every idiotic Mubtad'i dovetailed? We certainly do not
Wa Allahu waliyyu-t-Tawfiq. As-Salamu 'alaykum.

---Regarding
* Is al-Ibanah Attributed to
Imam al-Ash’ari
Authentic?
We often hear from the Wahhabis and their cohorts the claim that Imam Abu al-Hasan al-Ash’ari (d.324h) went through three phases in his life:
1) 40 years as a Mu’tazalite,
2) A period where he followed a major theologian of Ahl al-Sunna, Abdullah b. Sa’id b. Kullab (d.240h) [fn 1] – who they falsely accuse not to be a Sunni – and
3) A final period whereupon he abandoned Ibn Kullab and returned to the doctrine of the salaf and Ahl al-Sunna and is meant to have written the book
Al-Ibanah ‘An Usul al-Diyanah (The Clear Statement on the Fundamental Elements of the Faith).
Unlike his widely documented repentance from Mu’tazalism, however, we find the alleged second ‘repentance’ of Imam al-Ash’ari unsupported by reports from the earlier historians or from his own companions and students.
Rather, apart from the likes of Ibn Taymiyya (d.728h) and those who followed him in this regard, we find their mentioning only two phases in the Imam’s life - his leaving the Mu’tazila and then entering upon the methodology of the salaf and Ahl al-Sunna.
For example, Imam Abu Bakr b. Furak (d. 406h) said in Tabyin Kadhib al-Muftari (p. 127):
“Shaykh Abu al-Hasan ‘Alī b. Isma’il al-Ash’ari went from following the doctrine of the Mu’tazila to aiding the doctrine of Ahl al-Sunna wa al-Jama’a with rational proofs, and he wrote books on that.”
Imam Abdul Karim al-Shahrastani (d.548h) similarly said in Kitab al-Milal wa al-Nihal(p. 105-106):
Until the time came upon [the likes of] Abdullah bin Sa’id al-Kullabi [d. 240h], Abu al-Abbas al-Qalanisi [contemporary of al-As'hari], and al-Harith bin Asad al-Muhasibi [d. 243H]. They were from the generality of the Salaf, except that they practised Ilm al-kalam (scholastic theology), and they aided the beliefs of the Salaf with philosophical proofs, and fundamental [cognitive] evidences. Some of them authored [works] and others taught. [Until] there occurred a debate between Abu al-Hasan al-As’hari and his [Mu'tazili] teachers on an issue amongst the issues pertaining to “as-salah wal-aslah” [an issue pertaining to whether Allah is obligated or not to do what is best for His servants], so they disputed. And al-Ash’ari united with this faction [the Kullabiyyah], so he supported their saying through the methodologies of speculative theological [discourse], and then that became a madhhab for Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama’ah, and then the label of “Sifatiyyah (Affimers of the Attributes)” transferred to the Ash’ariyyah.
The idea that Al-Ibanah ‘An Usul al-Diyanah was written contrary to the methodology of Ibn Kullab in a separate third phase also opposes what we hear from the likes of Imam Ibn Hajar who said in Lisan al-Mizan(3;291): “In his book al-Ibanah, al-Ash’ari was upon his [Ibn Kullab’s] path.”.
It is not surprising then that the tampered book we now have before us is not always entirely palatable to the ‘salafis’ who tirelessly promote it today [fn2] and in its unadulterated original form was wholeheartedly rejected by the Hanbali literalists of old as we find mentioned in Ibn Abi Ya’la’s Tabaqat al-Hanabila: find out...with scans here: [https://asharis.wordpress.com/2010/08/26/is-al-ibanah-attributed-to-imam-al-ashari-authentic/]
