There is not on the face of the earth-after the Book of Allah - a book which is more sahih than the book of Malik.
Al-Shafi‘iThe one who admonishes his brother secretly, he has advised sincerely and has honored him. If he does it outwardly (among others) then he has dishonored and shamed him.
Al-Shafi‘iHow strange! You seek guidance, yet you do not tread its path, surely a boat does not sail on land.
Al-Shafi‘iMy sin burdened me heavily. But when I measured it against Your Grace, O Lord, Your forgiveness came out greater.
Al-Shafi‘i
