JazakumAllahu khair to both of you. Absolutely phenomenal conversation with so much depth. I really enjoyed it and was hoping it wouldn't end.

Al Salamu 'alaykom wa rahmatu Allah wa barakatuh !
جزاك اللّٰه خيرًا 💐
I married my husband who sister I was best friends with for over 10 years. He seemed happy the first 6 months of being married but then he became so unhappy and constantly complaining about everything. He didn’t make Salat or attend Jummah with me like he did in the beginning of our marriage. I felt like he did nothing but lie the entire marriage. He then snapped and became physical with me and my daughter. He moved out after a few days stay in the hospital. Between the porn, drugs and alcohol along with his felonious past Shaitan lives strong in him. I pray for him to get his life right and accept responsibility for the things he’s has done. I pray for the divorce to be swift and peaceful. I pray that Allah brings me a good man that isn’t addicted to porn and shows his true colors.
May Allah protect us. There are resources on yaqeen in dealing with the traumas of betrayals.
Great discussion!
سبحان الله وبحمده عدد خلقه ورضا نفسه وزنة عرشه ومداد كلماته
Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi 'adada khalqih wa rida nafsihi wa zinata 'arshih wa midada kalimatih
Don't hurt anyone with love. Pray for everyone's guidance. Allah is with the oppressed. Don't be Disappointed.
Allah bless you
Assalamu aleykoum wa rahmatoullah

May الله reward Shaykh Dr. Tawhir Wyatt, حفظه الله ورعاه.
Mufti Abdur Rahman Mangera writes/explains in his translation of Imam Abu Hanifa’s al-Fiqh al-Akbar on pg. 24-25.
Shaykh Wahbi Ghawji, after quoting Isfirayini’s statement, says, “I saw an excellent manuscript of AI-Fiqh aI-Akbar in the library of Shaykh al-Islam Arif Hikmat (collection 226) in the illuminated city of Madina (may there be a thousand blessings and peace upon its inhabitants), which was from the transmission of Ali ibn Aḥmad al-Farisi from Nusayr ibn Yahya from Abu Muqatil from ʿIṣām ibn Yusuf from Ḥammād, the son of Abu Ḥanīfa. This confirms the attribution of AI-Fiqh aI-Akbar to the Imam (may Allah have mercy on him)” (At-Ta’liq al-Muyassar 12-13).”
Allama Shibli Nu’mani (d. 1368/1949), writes that no extant book could be rightly attributed to Imam Abu Hanifa (Sirat al-Nuʿmān 84).
The Dutch Orientalist A.J. Wensinck makes a similar statement: “The Fiqh Akbar (II), it is true, opens in the singular, probably because by doing so, it seeks to uphold the fiction of Abu Hanifa’s authorship, but later the singular is dropped in favour of the plural” (The Muslim Creed 102).
On the other hand, the famous seventeenth-century Ottoman scholar Haji Khalifa (or Katib Celebi, Kashf al-Dhunun 5:162) as well as other renowned biographers such as Zirikli (Al-Aʿlām 234) and Kaḥḥālā (Muʿjam al-Mu’allifīn 103) consider it to be the work of the Imam.
The commentators of Al-Fiqh aI-Akbar are also in agreement that the text was indeed that of the noble Imam himself. The Ottoman scholar Maghnisawi writes, “The treatise AI-Fiqh aI-Akbar; which the Great Imam authored, is a reliable and accepted work” (Sharh al-Fiqh aI-Akbar 2.).
Ali al-Qari, the hadith scholar, theologian, and jurist, writes in his commentary, “The Great Imam, the Magnanimous, the Great Honourable Exemplar of Mankind, Abu Hanifa of Kufa (may Allah have mercy on him) states in his work called AI-Fiqh aI-Akbar….” (Minab al-Rawr al-Azhar 43).
Furthermore, the indexer and bookseller of the fourth century, Ibn al-Nadim, states in his Kitab al-Fihrist, which was compiled in 377/987: “His Abu Ḥanifa’s works are the books AI-Fiqh aI-Akbar; AI-Risala (The Epistle) to [Uthman] al-Batti, and AI-‘Alim wa ‘I-Mutallim (The Scholar and the Pupil)” (156).
*[This fourth-century record is sufficient to invalidate the opinion of Wensinck, who writes that “after the first half of the tenth century AD [fourth CE], in which the Fiqh Akbar (II) probably originated, several doctors composed creeds of a more or less varying structure.” Imam ʿAbd al-Qahir aI-Baghdadi (d. 42.9/1037) writes, “The first of the theologians from among the jurists and leaders of the schools were Abu Ḥanifa and Shafi for indeed Abu Ḥanifa composed a treatise in the rebuttal of the Qadariyya called AI-Fiqh aI-Akbar.”]
