The biography also lists his two-volume work on the book's narrators, Ma'ani al-Akhyar fi Rijal Ma'ani al-Athar, which gives each generation — Companions, Successors and their followers — a section of its own. 3

The Hanafi school (madhhab)

The Hanafi school is the legal school named after Abu Hanifa. It grew out of the ancient school of Kufa and absorbed that of Basra, with Abu Yusuf and al-Shaybani as its chief transmitters and authors of its standard texts. Favoured by the first Abbasid caliphs, it spread through Iraq, Syria, Khurasan, Transoxania and Afghanistan, became the school of the Seljuks and the Ottomans, and kept official status in former Ottoman provinces. Ahmad Amin calls it the widest of the schools in the use of opinion, and says its followers upheld istihsan, which the Shafi'is rejected. Al-Sayis says Abu Hanifa took the Book, then the well-known Sunna, then the Companions' sayings, then reasoned by analogy and istihsan.
