In'sha Allah, I'll try my best. May Allah accept this trivial effort.

Please note that any errors you find are due to my incompetence.

The Rewards of 100 Martyrs
We remember very clearly that we were far from praying Nafl salat, rather we used to make fun of it. And Sunnahs were not that important either, because Hanafis used to place great importance on Sunnahs and Nafls. Yes! There was however great emphasis placed on reviving those Sunnahs which had died. For example, joining ankles with those who were on your sides during congregation prayers – this was a Sunnah which had died so there was reward of 100 martyrs in doing this. Similarly, saying “Ameen” loudly is a Sunnah. The Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) used to say that those people who are annoyed by “Ameen” will be the Jews of my Ummah; so say “Ameen” in such a loud voice, because the more Hanafis hear you, the more rewards of 100 martyrs you will receive, and you will receive separate reward for annoying these Jews.


The reality of Fiqh:
Along with this, our teacher also had books like Maulvi Muhammad Yusuf Jaipuri’s book Haqeeqatul Fiqh , and Maulvi Muhammad Rafiq Pasruri’s booklet Shamsher Muhammaddiya Bar Aqaid Hanafiya and Maulvi Muhammad Jonagrhi’s Shamae Muhammadi.

We would sit with our teacher and he would read to us some rulings, and then for five minutes the teacher and us students would grab our ears and do “Tauba, Tauba,” that "such dirty rulings are not even found in the books of Hindus and Sikhs. Oh Allah! If the Hindus, Sikhs, and Christians find out about these rulings, then they will think that Muslims are so degraded".

In summary, the thought was deeply instilled into our minds that in the entire world, the Hanafi Madhab (Nauzu Billah) is such a dirty madhab that even the Hindus, Sikhs, Zoroastrians, Jews and all other disbelievers seek refuge from it.
