The Proximity of the Hanafi School to the Sunnah

Question
Is it true that the Hanafi school is the closest school to the life of the Prophet and his companions?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: All of them are recognized Sunni schools of thought, so whoever follows one of them is on the right path to God Almighty. The Hanafi school is considered the oldest of the Sunni jurisprudential schools, and everyone who came after them relied on it and benefited from it; because Imam Abu Hanifa was one of the younger successors, and it is the easiest of the jurisprudential schools to apply. They consider it the school of the general public, meaning that anyone can apply it due to its simplicity and ease. It relied heavily on the guidance of the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, and Allah knows best.
