asSalamu 'Alaikum. Why did the authour say, 'This is the claification of the Creed of Ahlus Sunnah Wa'l Jammah, upon the School (Mad-hab) of Imam Abu Hanifah, Abu Yusuf, Ibn Shaybani and he didn't say, 'Upon the mad-hab of the Sahabah or Abu Bakr, 'Umar etc..'? Jazzakallahu khaire.
His statement shows he was clarifying the aqeedah as understood by the school of the Hanafis. An appropriate and good light in which to take this statement would be: he was explicitly stating his references and thus didn't mention other than them.
Although a less favourable view about his statement could be that it was a manifestation of the strong partisanship towards the madhhabs of the time. It would have been better for him to say: the Aqeedah of the four schools/the sahabah etc as some scholars have mentioned since the Aqeedah is a branch of knowledge where most differences are not allowed.
May Allah have mercy upon us and him and allow us to continue in benefitting from all our scholars.
