    Mawlana Abul Wafa al-Afghani al-Hyderabadi was one of the great Hanafi Scholars of the 2oth Century. Even Imam al-Kawthari has praised him highly in the Maqalaat.

    Also among those Ulama who traveled to Hyderabad Deccan (India) to get his Ijazah was the Muhaddis al-Haramayn Al-Imam Al-Sayyid Muhammad Alawi al-Maliki al-Hasani of Makkah. The Sayyid traveled to Hyderabad in the early Sixties and got Ijazah from him, particularly in Hanafi Fiqh.

    He even wrote a poem about that journey in which he called Mawlana Abul Wafa, the Ameer al-Ilmi wal Fadli:

    Arrij bi-Rahlika nahwa Hyderabadi
    Awama tara Shauqi ilayha Badi

    Waqsud Ameer al-ilmi wal fadli'lazi
    Shaa'a fil kauni ilmuhul musdaadi

    ....etc

    Mawlana Abul Wafa was also known for his Deep Love for Rasul Allah (saw). many a times,, he would just start crying when saying 'Qaala Rasulullah (saw)'.

    He would attend the gatherings of Milad-un-Nabi in the blessed month of Rabi-al-Awwal with great Adab and Devotion and his speech would be very emotional.

    In his Dars of Hadith, he would not allow any student to sit with his
    collar open! nor to put the book on the ground, even for a second.

    Such was his Adab with the Prophet (saw).

    He was a Qadiri in Tariqah and had immense respect and spiritual attachment to the Great Murshid and Muhaddith al-Deccan, Sayyid Abul Hasanat Abdallah Shah Sahib al-Naqshbandi (R.A.).

    He used to teach His Hanafi Classic Zujajat al-Masabih also.

    Among, Mawlana Abul Wafa's Students in the Usa is al-Allamah prof.Abdus Sattar Khan in Chicago.

    Radiy Allahu Anhu wa Ardaah.
