Imam Abu Hanifa is one of the distinguished students of Imam Ja f ar al-Sadiq (as) , as has been confirmed by Ibn Hajar alMakki in his Sawaiq al Muhriqa, Allamah Shiblinji in his Nural Absar, Abdul Haleem Jindi in his Mohqaq, Abu Zohra in his various writings, and other Ulema. Imam Abu Hanifa had previously studied under Imam Baqir (as) and then subsequently Abu Hanifa extended the link of knowledge with Imam Jafar al-Sadiq (as). In this regard, Abdul Haleem Jindi writes that Abu Hanifa stated that if he hadnt spent two years of his life with Imam Jaf ar al-Sadiq (as), he would have been dead. (Al-Imam Jafar As-Sadiq, page 162). Sunni research scholar Abu Zohra states that these words of Imam Abu Hanifas are widely known namely if these two years had not been available to me due to my good fortune, Numan (Abu Hanifa) would have been dead. (Imam Jaf ar al-Sadiq, page 83). Imam Abu Hanifa had also remarked I have never seen a greater scholar of fiqh than Imam Jafar al-Sadiq (as).
