Mu’min al‐Taq met with Abu Hanifa another time, and he asked him:
‐O Abu Ja‘far, do you believe in the return? ‐Yes. Abu Hanifa sneeringly said to him: ‐Give me five
hundred dinars. When I and you return, I will give it back to you. So Mu’min al‐Taq said to him: ‐I
want someone to guarantee that you will not turn into a monkey, that I will be able to take back
what you will borrow from me. Abu Hanifa was unable to answer him. He went away deserted.[1]
He met with him another time, and he asked him: ‐Abu Ja‘far, what is your opinion of
contemporary marriage? Do you think that it is Islamically lawful? ‐Yes.
‐Then what prevents you from ordering your wives to marry contemporarily and earn you (some
money)?
‐Not all jobs are desirable even if they are lawful. People have ranks through which their
importance is high. However, Abu Hanifa, what is your opinion of wine? Do you think that it is
lawful? ‐Yes.
‐Then what prevents you from letting your wives sit in wine shops and earn you (some money)? ‐
One for one, but your arrow is more penetrative![2] When Imam Abu ‘Abd Allah (al‐Sadiq), peace
be on him, passed away, Abu Hanifa gloated over his death and said to Mu’min al‐Taq: ‐Abu Ja‘far,
Your Imam has died!
‐But your Imam is among those who have been granted a respite until the Day of Resurrection. By
that he meant Satan.[3] He had with Abu Hanifa other debates indicating his excellence over him
and his ability to recall answers.

C. With Bin Abi al‐‘Awja’
Mu’min al‐Taq met with Bin Abi al‐‘Awja’, the head of the unbelievers in the Arab world, and he
asked him the following question:
‐Whoever creates or produces something to know that it is of his creation is its creator, isn’t he?
‐Yes.
‐Come after a month or two months, that I may show you that!
