“Perlu diketahui bahwa Imam Syafii ini lahir jauh sebelum Imam Bukhari, Imam Syafii lahir pada th 150 Hijriyah dan wafat pada th 204 Hijriyah, sedangkan Imam Bukhari lahir pada th 194 Hijriyah dan wafat pada 256 Hijriyah, maka sebagaimana sebagian kelompok banyak yang meremehkan Imam syafii, dan menjatuhkan fatwa fatwa Imam syafii dengan berdalilkan shahih Bukhari, maka hal ini salah besar, karena Imam Syafii sudah menjadi Imam sebelum usianya mencapai 40 tahun, maka ia telah menjadi Imam besar sebelum Imam Bukhari lahir ke dunia.”

They were never intended for the layperson to find quick rulings or conclusions on matters of law and creed.”
