Imam Abu Hanfia once quoted: A person who thinks that he is a scholar and he does not need any teacher, should cry upon himself.
One Teacher of Imam Abu Hanif left the town, and asked him to answer any questions that people will have while he is absent. While doing so, Imam Abu Hanifa kept noting his answer that he would give to people in return to their queries about masaail.
By the timehis teacher came back, Imam Abu Hanifa had already answered 60 questions; and had noted their answers so he could compare them to the answers of his teacher. After consulting his teacher, he found that he was right only in 20 cases and the rest all of his answers / suggestions to the people were incorrect. Knowing this, Imam Abu Hanifa stayed under the supervision of his teacher for the rest 18 years of his life, in order to improve his knowledge.
