Follow a Madhhab to the letter?

The Shaafi'i allow you to pray one Rak'ah of witr based on the authentic hadith in Sahih al-Bukhaari and Sahih Muslim

The Hanbali allow you to pray one Rak'ah of witr based on the authentic hadith in Sahih al-Bukhaari and Sahih Muslim

The Maaliki allow you to pray one Rak'ah of the witr based on the authentic hadith in Sahih al-Bukhaari and Sahih Muslim.

The 'ahnaaf act on the weak hadith and forbid you from it.

Just because I was born a Hanafi you are now going to tell me that I cannot act on the authentic hadith in this issue because I was born Hanafi and must follow their weak opinion on the matter based on a weak hadith?

No, thanks.
