Why Haven’T Sunnis Transmitted Hadiths From Ahlul Bayt
That’s the problem… why do we know nothing about Abu Hanifa’s views on the imams of the Shias? It sounds suspicious and makes one believe that maybe their teachings were influenced by Shia thought, which could explain why he neither gave his views nor quoted from them. Only God knows the real reason, but the fact that nothing is recorded from Imam Ja’far, while we still claim to respect him and acknowledge his vast knowledge, does seem a bit contradictory.
