Does Imam Abu Haneefa rh mention that parents of Rasulullah ﷺ died on disbelief?

There is some confusion regarding the text of AI-Fiqh al-Akbar at this point. There are three separate statements found, some of which are mentioned in some editions but not in others. They are as follows:

(1) “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ died on faith,”
(2) “The Prophet’s uncle and ‘Ali’s father, Abu Talib, died an unbeliever,” and
(3) “The parents ofthe Messenger of Allah died on unbelief (al-kufr).”
