Imam<br />

Abu Hanifa's<br />

Imam Abu Hanifa said,<br />

<strong>of</strong> Kalaam<br />

"May Allah's Curse be upon Amr ibn Ubaid for he paved for<br />

<strong>the</strong> people <strong>the</strong> way to Kalaam…"<br />

Someone asked him (i.e., Imam Abu Hanifa), "What is your opinion<br />

about that which he has innovated for <strong>the</strong> people with regards to<br />

Kalaam about accidents <strong>and</strong> bodies?”<br />

He said, "Principles <strong>of</strong> philosophy!!! Stick to <strong>the</strong> way <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Salaf, for<br />

every novelty is a Bidah (innovation in <strong>the</strong> religion).”<br />

Imam Abu Haneefa also said,<br />

[Dhamul-Kalaam lil-Harawee, p.28-31]<br />

[Manaqib Abi Haneefah <strong>of</strong> al-Kurdi (baa/p.194)<br />

Quoted from A'tiqaad al-A'imma al-Arba'a]<br />

"The people <strong>of</strong> desires in al-Basrah are many <strong>and</strong> I have entered<br />

it odd twenty times. Perhaps, I stayed <strong>the</strong>re for a year or<br />

more thinking that Ilmul-Kalaam is <strong>the</strong> greatest <strong>of</strong> sciences."<br />

[Manaqib Abi Haneefah <strong>of</strong> al-Kurdi (p.137)<br />
