Ar-Rabeeya bin Sulayman: A man asked ash- Shaafiee about a Hadeeth of the Prophet (ﷺ) then the man said to him: And what is your opinion? Imam ash- Shaafiee trembled, shuddered and said: Which sky will shade me and which earth will carry me if I narrate a Hadeeth from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and say an opinion other than that of the Hadeeth. And he said: If you find a Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then follow it, and do not turn to the saying of anyone. (Hilyat Al-Awliyah v ol 9, pg.107)
