Nesefî'nin Sıfat Doktrini: Tarihsel Süreklilik İspatı

Abu al-Mu'in al-Nasafi systematically proved in his Tabsirat al-adilla that Abu Hanifa's doctrine on God's attributes had been 'passed on from generation to generation intact and without interruption.' Using divine attributes as an 'instructive example,' he demonstrated that the Samarqand school's views predated al-Maturidi through historical documentation. He showed that all leading Hanafites 'followed his way in the principles (usul) as well as the branches (furu') and stayed away from I'tizal.'
