Summary
Imam Abu Hanifah was recognised by many contemporary scholars as a leading figure, and he studied hadith for roughly fifty years. He was an expert in the science of narrators and in al-jarh wa al-ta'dil, applied strict conditions for accepting hadith, and focused on deriving rulings from them. The small number of hadith narrated from him does not indicate limited knowledge of hadith. The ruling concludes that his mastery covered narrator evaluation, jurisprudence and understanding of hadith.
