'Allah is my King and the Prophet ﷺ
is my intercessor'.
In the olden times there was a village occupied by inhabitants of both
the Maliki and Shaafi'i schools of thought. Each was openly proud of their way.
When they heard that a shaykh whom they all reveared was due a visit, they
decided to ask him which school of thought he preffered to proudly claim that
that school of thought was the better one.
The shaykh arrived and the inhabitants eagerly ran to meet him at the
outskirts. After greeting him they quickly put the question forward,
"Shaykh what is preferred, Shaafi'i
or Maliki?".
The shaykh paused for a moment and replied "Allah is Maliki and the
Prophet ﷺ
is Shaafi'i"..
The inhabitants smiled, understood, and warmly welcomed him into the
village.
The statement in Arabic reads: 'Allah is my King and the Prophet ﷺ is my intercessor.'
