Summary/Abstract: Said ben Muhammad al-Ustuwa’i is one of the Hanafi jurists who died in 432/1041. He is subject to Abu Hanifa in belief as well as in deeds. It is known that he has two works named al-I‘tiqad and Muhtasar Sa‘id. Of these, only al-I‘tiqad has survived to the present day. This work of Ustuwa’i named al-I‘tiqad is about Hanafi belief. One of the important features of the work is that it is the first work that collects the theological views attributed to Abu Hanifa in the form of narrations, after Abu Hanifa’s creed treatises. In this respect, it is a source that can be used about Abu Hanifa’s theological views. However, there is no previous study that examines the creeds attributed by Said ben Muhammad al-Ustuwa’i to al-Imam al-A‘zam Abu Hanifa. For this reason, this article will focus on the theological opinions attributed to Abu Hanifa in his book al-I‘tiqad by Ustuwa’i. By doing this, the article aims to contribute to other studies on Abu Hanifa’s theological ideas. In the article, document rewiev method will be used in determining the theological ideas attributed to Abu Hanifa. In addition, comparisons will be made with Abu Hanifa’s creed treatises. In this study, the views attributed to Ebu Hanifa will be examined by grouping them within themselves.
