ASWJ

Sayyedina Imam Abu Hanifa (Allah have mercy upon him, his teachers, and his students) said:

"Sunna and Jama`a are defined by giving preference to the two shaykhs [Abu Bakr and `Umar], love of the two sons-in-law [`Uthman and `Ali] and [the permissibility of] wiping over leather socks [in ablution]."

(Narrated by Ibn Abd al-Barr in al-Intiqa` through several chains; by Sh GFH in his Sunna Notes.)

I love that. It's so beautiful! - and I think it is so expressive of Imam Abu Hanifa's personality and concerns, ma sha Allah. May Allah allow us to benefit from him, and make us of those who honour his blessed school.
