The Fuqahaa (jurists) differ in their opinions regarding Witr being Waajib or not.
According to Imaam Abu Hanifa (RA), Witr is Waajib based on many Ahaadith.
One of them being, Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, Whosoever does not perform Witr is not among us. (Mishkaat vol.1; Chapter of Witr)

Pray bareheaded, wearing short sleeves
"According to the Hanafi school it is abominable to pray bareheaded out of laziness. But praying bareheaded out of humbleness and a feeling of submission is permitted."
It is Makrooh(reprehensible) to perform salah with short sleeves and without a topi(head covering)
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Imam Abu Hanifah
`Abu Hanifah', Nu'man ibn Thabit was born in the city of Kufa (modern day Iraq) in the year 80 A.H (689 A.D)
Imam Abu Hanifah acquired knowledge from over four thousand people.
When Imam Abu Hanifah derived a matter from the Qur'an and Hadith, he would not give the answer to the inquirer unless all of them [his students] confirmed it. One thousand of Abu Hanifah's disciples attended all his classes when he taught in the Mosque of Kufa City. Forty of them were mujtahids. When he would find an answer for a matter, he would suggest to his students who would study it together, and when they reached an agreement of it being consistent with the Qur'an and Hadith, and with the words of the Sahabah (ra), he would be delighted and say, "Al-hamdu li'llah wallahu Akbar," and all those who were present would repeat his words. Then he would tell them to write it down.
He performed the Fajr prayer with the ablution made for the Isha prayers for forty years (due to him praying the whole night through)
The principal occupation of Imam Abu Hanifa was business. He carried on a flourishing trade of textile goods. His success in commercial enterprises was largely due to his absolute honesty in business transactions. He was so much trusted by all that even non-Muslims deposited their wealth with him. He did not believe in excessive profits and never tolerated to earn money through illegal and questionable means.

- Once he sent a few pieces of cotton goods to one Hafs Bin Abdur Rahman with a word that some of the pieces were defective of which the customer should be apprised. Hafs forgot to do so and disposed of all the pieces. This deeply shocked the Imam who by way of atonement gave away the entire sum amounting to 30 thousand dirhams in charity.
- Once a woman brought to him a piece of Haz (costly cloth) for disposal. She demanded hundred dirhams as its price. She was wonder-struck with his honesty when he paid her five hundred dirhams for the piece.
- The prices of commodities kept in his shop were fixed. Once in his absence, some of his pupils unknowingly sold certain articles at relatively higher prices. When he learned about it on return, he resented it very much, saying they had cheated the customer. Meanwhile the customer who was an inhabitant of Medina, had left Kufa. It is stated that the Imam himself undertook a journey to Medina and paid him the balance.
Turban
Muslims wore the turban with the topee (head covering) while the Mushriks wore the turban without the topee underneath.
The only time the prophet wore black turban:-
Jaabir ibn Abdullah [radhiallaahu anhu] narrates that Nabi [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] entered on the day of Fath-Makkah whilst wearing a black Turban. (Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, Nasaaie, ibn Majah)

Allah does not accept the Salaah of one who allows his pants over his ankles
Rasulullah said: "Certainly Allah does not accept the Salaah of one who allows his pants over his ankles" (Sunan Abi Dawud #638)
Satan - narrow his passage by hunger
"Satan runs in the veins of the children of Adam;
narrow his passage by hunger."
The Prophet, upon whom be peace, said: 'Fasting is a shield,'
and,
Verily, Satan rushes through the body like the flowing of the blood
[in the body].
You should constrict his rushing by hunger and fasting.'

Music
Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, ‘I am sent to destroy musical instruments’.
Almighty Allah Taãla says in the Noble Qurãn: 'And there are some people who purchase idle talk. for them is a severe punishment'. Ibn Masóod (Radhiyallaahu Ánhu) says that this verse was revealed regarding singing.
Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) said, 'People from my Ummat will drink wine and give it other names and singing girls and musical instruments will be played before them. Allah will cause the earth to swallow them, and disfigure their faces into apes and pigs.'
Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) mentioned, 'When singing girls and musical instruments becomes common, wait for red winds, earthquakes, the earth swallowing people, disfiguring and many more punishments.' (Mishkãt 470)
