Numan Bin Sâbit -What is said about Abu Hanifa in the Historyrnof Baghdad-rnEvery person is surrounded by the conditions of their age, butrnsome have been able to surpass their age at least in some matters.rnAbu Hanifa (d. 150/767) is one of those who surpassed their age.rnIn fact, his saying, “We make preparations in advance so that wernwill not be surprised when troubles come” against those whornsaid, “You are making judgments about events that have not happened”rnshows his foresight. This can also be called Abu Hanifa’srnlong-term plan. As it is known, the majority of Muslims todayrnfollow the Hanafi school of thought of which he is the imam.rnIn this translation, the reader will encounter lesser-known viewsrnof Abu Hanifa in addition to his generally known views. In thisrnconnection, we would like to state that it is understood that AburnHanifa was much more intelligent than generally known. Somernof his views have been criticized, but he made very deep discussions,rnand some criticized him because they could not understandrnhis words. Abu Hanifa was mostly criticized by the Ahlrnal-Hadith, who were against analogy, opinion and ijtihad. Therntraces of sectarian or group fanaticism can be seen in this. Somernof Abu Hanifa’s discussions seem to have surpassed current scientificrndiscussions. Naturally, in the translated text, anecdotalrnthings about Abu Hanifa’s life are also narrated.rnThis translation is the Turkish translation of the narrations andrnopinions, in other words, the statements, compiled about AburnHanifa under the title “Numan bin Sabit Abu Hanifa” in the fifteenthrnvolume of al-Khatib al-Baghdadi’s (d.463/1071) famouslyrnknown as the History of Baghdad, also known as the Historyrnof Medineti’s-Salam. We have also added some footnotes tornthe translation. Some of the notes may seem like defense of AburnHanifa, but acknowledging the truth is also part of knowledge.rnReaching the truth requires effort. Knowledge has no limits.rnKeywords: Abu Hanife; History; Baghdad; Faith; Worship; Opinion;rnJurisprudence; Hadith
