Accepted Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

On one hand the narrations about the method of praying according to the Hanafi School are too many to be mentioned in one single Fatwa and this requires a separate study. So, if you want an in-depth study you can refer to the books of Fiqh and narrations of the Prophet reported by this school. On another hand, the answers that refute the view of the Hanafi School on the above issue are also many and can not be mentioned in a single Fatwa. This is even more time consuming. However, one must know that the difference of opinion of the Imaams is a mercy for the Muslim nation, so this should not be a reason for division and disputes among the Muslims. The companions and the righteous predecessors differed in opinion but did not divide and dispute among themselves but were loving toward each other for the sake of Allaah and each of them used to respect the other despite their difference in opinion. The Hanafi School is a considerable school, however, Imaam Abu Haneefah like other Imaams, was a human being who may be right or wrong. There is no person of this nation whom we must strictly follow in all that he says except the Prophet .

Allaah knows best.
