Ibn Ḥajar states the birthdate of Imam Abū Ḥanīfah as 80AH. At that time ʿAbdullāh ibn Abī Awfā was present and it is highly unlikely that Imam Abū Ḥanīfah did not visit him.

Abū Zakariyyā Yaḥyā ibn Maʿīn ibn ʿAwn ibn Ziyād[1], commonly known as Yaḥyā ibn Maʿīn, or by his teknonym, Abū Zakariyyā, was born in the late 158 A.H during the caliphate of Jaʿfar al-Mansūr[2]. H passed away in the year 233 A.H on the night of Jumuʿah whilst on a journey from Madinah Munawwarah for Ḥajj.[3]
