“There is no one more corruptive than he who measures the religion [religious knowledge] with his mind” (Tabarânî).
''Those who are in this group are those who follow the way which I and my Sahâba follow.'' [Tirmudhî].
''A time will come that a person will lose his faith without even noticing it. Faith will go out of him as a shirt is taken off.'' [Daylami].
The Shafi'i school of thought stipulates authority to four sources of jurisprudence, also known as the Usul al-fiqh. In hierarchical order, the usul al-fiqh consist of: the Quran, the Sunnah of the Islamic prophet Muhammad ''alaihis-salām'', ijmā' ("consensus"), and qiyas ("analogy").
The Shafi'i school also refers to the opinions of Muhammad ''alaihis-salām''s companions (primarily Al-Khulafa ar-Rashidun). The school, based on Imam Shafi'i's books ar-Risala fi Usul al-Fiqh and Kitab al-Umm, which emphasizes proper istinbaat (derivation of laws) through the rigorous application of legal principles as opposed to speculation or conjecture.
Shafi'i's treatise ar-Risala fi Usul al-Fiqh is not to be mistaken or confused with the al-Risala of Imam Malik.
Imam Shafi'i approached the imperatives of the Islamic Shariah (Canon Law) distinctly in his own systematic methodology. Imam Shafi'i, Imam Malik and Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal almost entirely exclude the exercise of private judgement in the exposition of legal principles. Shafi'i is also known as the "First Among Equals" for his exhaustive knowledge and systematic methodology to religious science.
