The Complete Man

Imâm Al-Buwaytî – Allâh have mercy on him – reports:

I heard Al-Shâfi’î say, “A man does not become complete in this life except when he has four [qualities]: religiousness (al-diyânah), trustworthiness (al-amânah), safeguarding [from sin] (al-siyânah) and sobriety (al-razânah).”

Al-Bayhaqî, Manâqib Al-Shâfi’î 2:189.

    asalamu alaikum,

    i was just wondering – who does the checking for the chains of narration for the sayings of the salaf – like for ahaadeeth we have many muhadditheen to do that…

    baarak Allaahu feekum

    Wa alaykumus-salam,
    The bried answer is: the same scholars of hadith who have throughout the ages checked and preserved the hadith of the Prophet – allallahu alayhi wa sallam- also collect and check the narrations from the Companions and other Salaf.
    Barakallahu feekum.
