Imam Abu Hanifa al-Nu'man ibn Thabit al-Kufi was born in the 80th year of the Hijra and met some of the Companions.

He passed away in Baghdad in the year 150 AH, and among his works is "Al-Fiqh al-Akbar." He was trustworthy, ascetic, and pious, and he refused to assume the position of judiciary under al-Mansur.
