Question

I have heard that when Imam Abu Hanifah (rahimahullah) drank Zam Zam water, he made du’a that Allah accept all his future du’as made with raised hands.

Can you locate this supplication?

 

Answer

I have not come across this du’a of Imam Abu Hanifah.

The following has been recorded regarding Imam Abu Hanifah’s (rahimahullah) intention/du’a when drinking Zam Zam:

  1. To be among the most knowledgeable of ‘Ulama.
  2. For Allah to grant him knowledge.
  3. For Allah to grant him understanding of Din (Faqahah).

(Refer: Fadlu Ma-i Zamzam of Shaykh Said Bakdash, pg. 135)

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.

فضل ماء زمزم لسائد بكداش: (ص: ١٣٥)
نية الإمام أبي حنيفة رحمه الله لما شرب زمزم:
ذكر الزمزمي في نشر الآس عن (قرة العين) للشيخ غسان الواعظ الرومي: أن الإمام أبا حنيفة رضي الله عنه شَرِبَ ماء زمزم ليكون من أعلم العلماء، فكان كذلك، وناهيك به علماً وصلاحاً وفضلاً اهـ.
وذكر البوسنوي في رسالته عن مقام إبراهيم عليه الصلاة والسلام، أنه روي عن أبي حنيفة رحمه الله تعالى، أنه شرب زمزم للعلم والفقاهة، فكان أفقه أهل زمانه.
