One of such works is Manāqib Abî Hanîfah by Abu al-Hasan al-Dīnavarī. al-Dīnavarī spent much of his life for ilm al-hadith and travelled to a lot of cities such as Khorasan, Esfahan and Baghdad. He died in 1076 at Ghaznah. There is no information in sources that he compiled a book. Yet, there is an extant work attributed to al-Dīnavarī. This work is about Abū Hanīfa; his life, his virtues etc. This work is entitled in the ୲rst page of the manuscript Kitāb Manāqib Imam al-A’immah Abī Hanīfah al-Nu‘mān ibn Thābit wa Fadāilih wa Vefātih wa Akhbâr Ashâbih.The work has about 250 traditions and almost all of them have chains. This study consists of three parts. The ୲rst one is about al-al-Dīnavarī’s life and his works. The second part is dedicated to an analysis of the book.
