We
are mortals...
Imaam
Abu Haneefah (rahima-hullaah)
said:
((It
is haraam
for someone who does not know my evidence to give fataawa
on the basis of my words)).
Another
narration adds:
((...
for we are mortals: we say one thing one day, and take it
back the next day)).
Ibn
'Abdul Barr in Al-Intiqaa' fi Fadaa'il ath-Thalaathah al-A'immah
al-Fuqahaa' (p. 145), Ibn al-Qayyim in I'laam al-Mooqi'een
(2/309), Ibn 'Aabideen in his Footnoes on Al-Bahr ar-Raa'iq
(6/293) and in Rasm al-Mufti (pp. 29, 32) & Sha'raani
in Al-Meezaan (1/55) with the second narration. Similar narrations
exist on the authority of Abu Haneefah's companions Zafar,
Abu Yoosuf and 'Aafiyah ibn Yazeed; cf. Eeqaaz (p. 52). Ibn
al-Qayyim firmly certified its authenticity on the authority
of Abu Yoosuf in I'laam al-Mooqi'een (2/344).
