out of curiosity why isn’t nu’man bin thabit, abu yusuf al ansari or muhammam ibn al hassan ash shaybani amongst those mentioned?

as Salaam ‘alaykum wa Rahamtullaah,

I really don’t know why they aren’t mentioned, but it probably has to do with the environment Imaam al Laalika’ee lived in where certain groups would all be from the Hanafi madhab and they would attribute their deviant beliefs to the Imam and madhab at this time and say that this is what Imam Abu Hanfia, rahimullah, believed in, thus Imaam al Laalikaa’ee’s hesitance to include Imam Abu Haneefa and his students Abu yusuf and Muhammad ash Shaybani’s names in this list, but he does mention Imam Abdullah ibn alMubarak in the list who was a student of Imam Abu Haneefa, Rahmatullah alay.

Allaah Knows Best
