SAYINGS OF FAMOUS IMAMS
Imam Abu Hanifa (85 H. – 150 H) said: “If it were not for two years, I would have perished.” He said, “for two years I accompanied Sayyidina Ja’far as-Sadiq and I acquired the spiritual knowledge that made me a Sufi in the Way.” [Ad-Durr al-Mukhtar, vol 1. p. 43]
Imam Malik (95 H. – 179 H.) said: “Whoever studies Jurisprudence / Fiqh
[tafaqaha]
and didn’t study Sufism [tasawwaf] will be corrupted; and whoever studied Sufism and didn’t study Jurisprudence will become a heretic; and whoever combined both will reach the Truth.” [‘Ali al-Adawi , vol. 2, p 195]
Imam Shafi’i (150 – 205 AH.) said: “I accompanied the Sufi people and I received from them three strands of knowledge: …how to speak; how to treat people with leniency and a soft heart… and they… guided me in the ways of Sufism.” [Kashf al-Khafa, ‘Ajluni, vol. 1, p 341.]
Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal (164 – 241 AH.) the said: “O my son, you have to sit with the People of Sufism, because they are like a fountain of knowledge and they keep the Remembrance of Allah in their hearts. they are the ascetics and they have the most spiritual power.” [Tanwir al-Qulub p. 405]
The above four Imams are the founders of the four universally accepted schools of law (mazhabs, or maslaqs).
