Imam<br />
Abu Hanifa's<br />
Imam Abu Hanifa said,<br />
of Kalaam<br />
"May Allah's Curse be upon Amr ibn Ubaid for he paved for<br />
the people the way to Kalaam…"<br />
Someone asked him (i.e., Imam Abu Hanifa), "What is your opinion<br />
about that which he has innovated for the people with regards to<br />
Kalaam about accidents and bodies?”<br />
He said, "Principles of philosophy!!! Stick to the way of the Salaf, for<br />
every novelty is a Bidah (innovation in the religion).”<br />
Imam Abu Haneefa also said,<br />
[Dhamul-Kalaam lil-Harawee, p.28-31]<br />
[Manaqib Abi Haneefah of al-Kurdi (baa/p.194)<br />
Quoted from A'tiqaad al-A'imma al-Arba'a]<br />
"The people of desires in al-Basrah are many and I have entered<br />
it odd twenty times. Perhaps, I stayed there for a year or<br />
more thinking that Ilmul-Kalaam is the greatest of sciences."<br />
