Imam Abu Hanifah - Weak in Ahaadeeth?
A simple question : was Imam Abu Hanifah weak in Ahaadeeth? and what do our scholars say regarding this?

I think the question is quite general and as knowledge is relative, it's quite difficult to establish who is well-grounded in Hadith and who is weak. For example X may have little if any knowledge in comparison with his contemporaries but a 'Hakim' in comparison to the ordinary layman.Perhaps you could say how does Imam Abu Hanifah measure in Hadith in comparison to the masters of Hadith like Ali Bin Al-Madini, Imam Bukhari and Ibn Uyaynah.

Re: Imam Abu Hanifah - Weak in Ahaadeeth?
yes, that's very true; so i think the better question would be:
What do authorities such as the likes of Ali Bin Al-Madini, Imam Bukhari and Ibn Uyaynah have to say regarding Imam Abu Hanifah in terms of being a muhaddith?
And what have our scholars said in his defence?
The reason i am asking this question is that i came across an Arab brother (if you know what i mean) who was very eager to point out that the Imam was a weak narrator, which is why the ahaadith he narrated are also weak.... I just wanted to know what has been said in defence of our Imam in this regard by our scholars.
