Imam Abu Hanifa’s رحمه الله Respect for his Teacher Hammad رحمه الله

Imam Abu Hanifa رحمه الله said,

“I haven’t stretched my legs out towards the house of my teacher, Hammad رحمه الله, whereas there were seven streets separating both our houses. I did this out of respect for my teacher.”

{Imam Abu Hanifa by Imam Ibn ‘Abidin (Shami) pages 268-269}
