Belittling Abu Hanifah

Once a guy belittled and disrespected Imam Abu Hanifah and compared himself to him – saying:

أنا رجل وأبو حنيفة رجل
“I am a man and Abu Hanifah was a man.”

Shaykh Abdul Nasir Hadara حفظه الله said:

ومن يشكك في رجولتك
ولكن أبا حنيفة عالم في الثريا
وأنت جاهل في الثرى

“Who questioned your manhood?

The difference is:

Abu Hanifah is an ‘Aalim (scholar) among the stars (الثريا);

And you are a Jaahil (ignoramus) here on earth (الثرى)!”
