  1. The Story of Abu Hanifa The Quran: The Islamic sacred book, believed to be the word of God It is well known that Abu Hanifa (radi Allahu 'anhu), did tahajjut every night (Meaning night prayer). He would spend his night reciting the Quran. He had a neighbor who was an alcoholic, and he used to drink a lot and sing love poems. This used to bother the imam.

  2. But one day, the imam did not hear this man's revelry So he went and asked about him. They said, "Oh, so-and-so. They took him to jail. So, the very well respected imam went to the jail. He was the most respected imam and qaadi at the time in that place. Qaadi: Meaning well respected Islamic judge.

  3. When the ruler found out • The imam went to the jail, he asked for the reason and was told that the imam was concerned about his neighbor who had been arrested. So, the ruler said to release the man, and he was released.

  4. The neighbor then asked Abu Hanifa why he did that, and he replied, "Because you have a right upon me as a neighbor, and I have not been neglectful of that." That was the reason that the neighbor made tauba to Allah subhâna wa ta'âla [that is: embraced Islam].
