An application containing the highlights of Muhammad bin Idris al-Shafei (150 AH / 766 AD - 204 AH / 820 AD), one of the four imams, may God have mercy on him
Al-Shaafa'i (may Allaah have mercy on him) was a good-minded person, well-informed, well-considered and thought-provoking. He said: "Seeking knowledge is better than voluntary prayer." However, al-Rabee 'ibn Sulaiman narrated it from his disciple that he used to pray the night until he died, may God have mercy on him, and he used to seal the Qur'aan every night.
