Imam Shafici ( Madhab of Somalis) praises tassawuf (sufi)
Posted: Wed Oct 03, 2012 12:37 am
Here is a smack to the face to those who call Sufis kafir,mushrikeen etc...
Imam Shafi, who lived in the time of the real Salafus-Saalixeen, not the fakes who emerged out in the 1800's. Him being a real Salaf praises the sufis
so to those somalis who follow by his teaching and at the same time regard sufis as mushriks, kafir , beware, for your founder of school of thought has praises the very people you make takfir upon with no accurate reasoning.
Imam ‘Ajluni reports that Imam Ash-Shafi’i said,
حبب إلي من دنياكم ثلاث: ترك التكلف، وعشرة الخلق بالتلطف، والاقتداء بطريق أهل التصوف
source:1089 كشف الخفاء ومزيل الالباس عما اشتهر من الأحاديث عل ألسنة الناس]
“Three things in this world have been made lovely to me: avoiding affectation, treating people kindly, and abiding by the way of the people of tasawwuf!”
In the non-pseudo-salafi publication of the Diwan of Imam Ash-Shafi’i we find:
فقيها وصوفيا فكن ليس واحدا فإني وحق الله إياك أنصح
فذلك قاس لم يذق قلبه تقى وهذا جهول كيف ذو الجهل يصلح
Faqîhan wa-sufiyyan fakun laysa wâh.idan
fa’innî wa-haqqillâhi iyyâka ansahu
Fadhâlika qâsin lam yadhuq qalbuhu tuqan
wahâdhâ jahûlun kayfa dhûl-jahli yasluhu
“Be both a jurisprudent and a sûfî – never just one of the two.
Truly, by the Divine Right, I am advising you sincerely!
For the former is hardened, his heart tastes no Godwariness,
While the latter is ignorant – of what use is the ignorant?” (
So let the enemies of tasawwuf digest on these words! May Allah bless our Sayyid Muhammad, his family, companions, and his followers Amin.
