Is the book "Kitab al-Athar" written by Imam Abu Haneefah (r.a)?

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.

As far as we know, Abu Haneefah did not author a book entitled Al-Aathaar, but there is a book titled Al-Aathaar by his student Abu Yoosuf Ibraaheem ibn Ya’qoob Al-Ansaari, who died in 182 A.H.

Moreover, his other student Muhammad ibn Al-Hasan Ash-Shaybaani, who died in 189 A.H. authored a book entitled Al-Aathaar.

Allaah Knows best.
