I havent checked it all, but its interesting. Upholding the Opinion that Imam Abu Hanifa was One of the Tabi`in - [Source: Dr. `Inayatullah Iblagh al-Afghanistani, Doctorate thesis: al-Imam al-A`zam Abu Hanifa al-Mutakallim (The Greatest Imam: Abu Hanifa, The Theologian), 2nd edition, with supervision of Dr. Muhammad Ali Mahjub, Minister of Awqaf and President of the Supreme Council for Religious Affairs, Cairo, 1987.] Some counted his teachers as four thousand within the ranks of the Tabi`in. Among them al-Laith ibn Sa`d and Malik ibn Anas, the Imam of Dar al-Hijra as mentioned by Daraqutni [al-Khairat al-Hisan, 23]. The author of al-Khairat al-Hisan collected information from books of biographies and cited the names of the Sahaba whom it is reported that the Imam has transmitted ahadith from. He counted them as sixteen of the Sahaba. They are:

FIQH FIXED The Complex work of Fiqh made easy, InshaAllah We have the Quran, We have the Hadith, We have the actions of the Sahaba, We have eyewitness accounts, We have The Khulafa e Rashedeen, We have the Greatest of Ulama to walk the face of the earth, We have millions of narrations, We have millions of questions, We have millions of issues, We have millions of Answers. We have One Allah, We have One Quran, We have One Prophet Muhammad (saw), We have One Deen, Islam. We are All Muslims From all of the above the, The Sahaba, Tabi'een, Tabe Tabi'een, Fuqaha etc have taken rulings and Masa'il in the light of The Quran & Sunnah. Each and every Masa'il links to another Masa'il, each and every Masa'il has its origin and source, every Masa'il is derived from a fixed set of rules. Each rule, each Masa'il coincides with the next rule, then with the next rule then with the next rule and so on. With every Masa'il in place with its rules and how it got there and why it is the closest opinion, is all combined and working in perfect harmony to the Way of The Prophet (SAW). Each of the four schools of Fiqh have many complex rules which have been derived from thousands of different evidences, which all intermatch with every ruling from within that school.

This is taken from the book where some of the other blogs have come from. This is the final question and answer that took place between the Ghair Muqallid and the Hanafi. (Green is the Ghair Muqallid) Actually (what had happened was,) I was working with a few Ghair muqalliDeen youngsters. These youngsters gave me a few books. I had no knowledge of what was written in these books. After having read these books I began lifting my hands (at various points in sasalah), I began to stand (in salah) with my legs spread apart, I began to place my hands on my chest (in salah) etc. You have answered all my questions with proofs and have explained things very well to me. Now I am at ease. What remains, is that I have been affected by a few books. Could you perhaps do something about that? Which books have they given you? Could you show them to me? Salatur Rasool and Sabeelur Rasool both by, Hakeem Sawdiq Siyaalkoti and Haqeeqatul-fiqh by Yusu Jaipoori. Brother! These are the very three books which the Ghair muqalliDeen give to people in an attempt to deviate them. They move people away from following Imam Sahib (R.A), and make them follow an ignorant Siyaalkoti. What a fraud! They create a dislike towards taqleed, and put a person back onto taqleed (in another form). Is there anything wrong with the content of those books? Is it possible to be a Ghair muqallid and not speak lies? Let us take a close look at

Which are those rulings where The Salafis make taqleed of when there is no Hadith to prove it. (Please note, it says "Hadith" not Quran, also that most of these are trick questions) 1) The consumption of buffalo meat and milk is a ruling found in fiqh not in the Ahaadith. The Ghair muqallids make taqleed here, but would not accept it. 2) There are two Sunnats and two farz in the Fajr salah. This is found in fiqh, not in the Ahaadith. The Ghair muqallid makes taqleed of the muqallid here. 3) The number of rakats, and how many are farz, how many Sunnat etc. in Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Esha salah are not foud in Ahaadith, but this distribution (of rakats) are found in fiqh. The Ghair muqallid in accepting this distribution of fiqh, are (in reality) making taqleed of fiqh. 4) The Ahle Hadith lift their hands and make dua in the witr salah. They are following Imam Shafi (R.A) in this ruling, as it is not found in Ahaadith. 5) The Ahle Hadith follow Ibn Taimiyyah in the ruling regarding divorce.

Was Mirza Qaadiyaani a Ghair muqallid? Yes. Impossible, he was a Hanafi. Had he been a Hanafi, he would not have claimed Nabuwaat. Where in the fiqh of Imam Abu Hanifa, do we find it written that the claim of nubuwat can be made by anyone? It is quite certain that his claim of nubuwat was the direct result of shunning the Hanafi fiqh and taqleed. Had he beautified himself with the garland of Imam Abu Hanifa (R.A), he would never have claimed nubuwat. His nikah was performed by the Ghair muqallid aalim, Sayyid Nazeer Husein Dehlawi. He took a prayer mat and five rupees as payment for performing the nikah. His wife was the Ahle Hadith, Nusrat Baigham. (Raees Qaadiyaan) 1) He held the view point of eight rakats taraweeh. (Seerat-e-mahdi pg.13 vol.2) This is also The Ahle Hadith view point. 2) Mirza held the view point of making masah on socks. (Seerat-e-mahdi pgs.26 & 29) This is also The Ahle Hadith view point. 3) He held the view point of joining two salahs in the time of one salah just as The Ahle Hadith do.
