Question:
Were the 4 Imams of Fiqh, Abu Hanifa, Malik, Ibn Hanbal, and Shafii in conflict in one another or hate one another, and what about the reports or whatever that say they did, such as “Abu Hanifa is no less than Iblees and Dajjal.” (Imam Malik, Khateeb
Baghdadi 13:396) and Imam Shafi’I, being a great forger, is totally unreliable. (Imam Yahya Bin Moin in Jama’ Bayanul ‘Ilm) and Rumi in the Mathnavi that they split Islam into 4.
Answer:
They were not in conflict other than human disagreements and the reports
you quote are inauthentic.
