The biographies of Imam Abu Hanifah haven't mentioned Imam Ja'far as his teacher, but it does mention Imam Muhammad al-Baqir as his teacher, if someone has any narrations of Imam Abu Hanifah narrating from Imam Ja'far then please bring it forward, otherwise the only thing that can be said is they were both contemporaries and they took from each other in the looser sense.

this that you are saying is not quite accurate brother.

for example

In Sheikh Muhammad Abu Zahra Azhari's biography of Imam Abu Hanifa (ra) it declares...

'it is confirmed that he (Imam Abu Hanifa (ra) studied with Zayd ibn Ali Zayn al Abidin (ra) and Jafar as Sadiq (ra) '

This can be found in Abu Zahra's English compilation 'The Four Imams' page 133, published by Darul Taqwa.

these works also mention this...

Those who speak Urdu may find the introduction to this work interesting as it contains some relevant mentions of Imam Abu Hanifa's (ra) studies with Imam Baqir (ra) and Imam Jafar as Sadiq (ra).

The great Muslim historian Shibli Nomani's biography of Imam Abu Hanifa (raa) also describes him as a student of Jafar as Sadiq (ra).
