[edit] Imam Shafi'i

"Imam Shafi'i said that the testimony of four companions will not be accepted and those four are Muawiya, Amr ibn al-As, Mugheera and Ziyad. This view of Imam Shafi'i has also been attributed to him by his student Abu al-Fida". That is not correct. That statement has no Isnad. Abul Fidah (BTW, he is not his student!) said: "روي" which is a word that is usually used when that attribution is false. In fact it is Shafi accepted the testimony of the three in his books. Ziyad is not even a Sahabi. --Islamic 05:22, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Ok, ill buy that. Ill copy it here for future rerferences.

“

Muhammad ibn Idris ash-Shafi`i, a 9th century Sunni Islamic scholar was the progenitor of a presently small Sunni Madhhab. It is stated in Rawdah-al-Manazir fi al-Awai'l wa al 'Awakhir that [1]: Imam Shafi'i said that the testimony of four companions will not be accepted and those four are Muawiya, Amr ibn al-As, Mugheera and Ziyad. This view of Imam Shafi'i has also been attributed to him by his student Abu al-Fida [2].

[edit] Edit warring

I see that there's some reverting going on here. Could folks please move this to the talkpage, and talk about what the disagreement is? Also, please stop referring to each other as vandals. See What vandalism is not. Thanks, Elonka 04:52, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
