Misconception amongst Salafis: Imām Abū Hanīfah said to Imām Abū Yūsuf, and Imām Mālik said to Imām Ibn Qāsim, and Imām Shāfi’ī said to Imām Rabī, and Imām Ahmad said to his son, Imām Abdullah: “When a Hadīth is authentic, then take it and leave my opinion”.

And the layman assumes that this statement is for them!

The interesting thing is that it shows that they and their students were working on the same principles of Hadith verification. This applies to Mujtahids only.

(Shaykh) Muhammad Wā’il al-Hanbalī

قال أبو حنيفةَ لأبي يوسف: ومالكٌ لابن القاسم: والشافعيُّ للربيع: وأحمدُ لولده عبدِ الله: (إذا صحَّ الحديثُ فخذْ به واتركْ قولي) فظنَّ العاميُّ أنَّ الكلامَ له ! - محمد وائل الحنبلي
