Who compiled the Islamic jurisprudence book known as Kitab-ul-Assar?

Explanation

Kitab-ul-Assar (Book of Traditions) is one of the earliest works of Hanafi fiqh, compiled by Imam Abu Hanifah (RA). It contains ahadith and narrations that form the basis of many legal rulings in the Hanafi school. The book was transmitted by his prominent students, particularly Imam Muhammad al-Shaybani and Imam Abu Yusuf, who played a key role in preserving and spreading their teacher's juristic legacy.

Good to know

Imam Abu Hanifah (80 AH – 150 AH) is the founder of the Hanafi school of jurisprudence, the oldest and most widely followed school of Islamic law. His major works include Kitab-ul-Assar and Al-Fiqh al-Akbar. His methodology relied heavily on Quran, Sunnah, Ijma (consensus), Qiyas (analogical reasoning), and Istihsan (juristic preference). His two most famous disciples, Imam Abu Yusuf and Imam Muhammad al-Shaybani, were instrumental in codifying and transmitting his legal opinions.
