Imam ash-Shaafi`ee - rahimahullaah - said:
"The foolish one addresses me with words of disgrace, but I hate to respond to him in a similar manner. The more ignorant he proves, the more patient I become. Just like the incense; the more it's burnt, the more it releases its fragrance." |

Imam ash-Shaafi`ee - rahimahullaah - said:
"When it comes to my provisions, I rely upon Allah, my Creator; And I know with certainty that He will no doubt provide for me. Whatever’s in my due, will not pass me by, Even if it were to be in the depths of the sea. Allah the Exalted will bring it forth by His Grace, Even if I were to remain silent over it. So, what... can a soul feel sorrow over, When the Most Merciful has set the provisions of the creation?" |

Imaam ash-Shaafi`ee - rahimahullaah - said: "O my soul! It is not, except a few days of patience; As if the extent were but a few dreams. O my soul! Pass quickly on through this world; And leave it, for indeed life lies ahead of it." [Related by Ibn Rajab in Fadl `Ilmus-Salaf (p.63) |

Imam ash-Shafi’ee said: "If you fear falling into conceit through your deeds, remember whose pleasure you seek (that is Allah), what kind of grace you are looking for, and what kind of punishment you are afraid of. So, if you remember all these, your pious deeds will look small in your eyes." Siyar a’laam an-Nubalaa |

Imâm Al-Shâfi’î said: People didn’t become ignorant and didn’t differ amongst themselves except because they left Arabic and leaned towards the language of Aristotle. Quoted by Al-Suyûtî in Sawn Al-Mantiq p15. He said on p22: I have found Salaf before Al- Shâfi’î indicate what he did: that the cause of heresy (al-ibtidâ’) is ignorance of Arabic language. |
