One think i have learnt is that these ignoramus fools have just one book which i think they refer to for all things hanafi related. Have you actually read the book? does the book not contain praise for Imam Abu Hanifah??? Is Khateeb al Bahdadi ra considered an authority on deen in the same way as Imam Abu Hanifah, Imam Malik, Imam Shafi, Imam Ahmed? So you prefer to take some of views from the book over everything and everyone else. (dont forget that Tareekh Baghdad isnt all negative about the imam). You didnt answer that. So if Imam Bukhari praises Ali Ibn al Madini more than anyone else and Ali Ibn al Madini then praises Imam Shaybani, how is that not credible. You are talking about Imam Bukhari who is arguably the greatest muhaddith to have graced this earth, and his praise for someone doesnt count for anything?
