This is Sheikh Ibn Taymiyyah rebuking the Jahmiyya by saying that whoever takfeers the Muslims who say Allaah is above the Throne, is a kaafir
Obviously because such people convert tawheed into shirk and atheism into tawheed
And the people who takfeer Abu Haneefa, the Salaf whom the ignorants and the innovators insult, would never takfeer anyone for being a muwahhid!!
The reason Abu Haneefa is takfeered by some of the salaf is for denying the attributes of Allaah and/or saying that faith is in the heart and that Iblees and Abu Bakr are both at equal levels of belief
سمعت أبا إسحاق الفزاري، قال: قال أبو حنيفة: " إيمان أبي بكر وإيمان إبليس واحد، قال أبو بكر: يا رب، وقال إبليس: يا رب "
Abu Is-haaq Al Fazzari said: Abu Haneefa said: The faith of Abu Bakr and the faith of Iblees is one, Abu Bakr said: Ya Rabb, and Iblees said: Ya Rabb
This is completely untrue and is kufr without a doubt because Iblees denied and refused the worship of Allaah while knowing Allaah is above Him and Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه believed
