Imām Muḥammad b. Idrīs al-Shāfi’ī (d. 204 AH رحمه الله) said [in al-Risālah]:
فَلَيْسَتْ تَنْزِلُ فِي
أَحَدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ دِينِ اللهِ نَازِلَةٌ إِلَّا وَفِي كِتَابِ اللهِ الدَّلِيلُ
عَلَى سَبِيلِ الْهُدَى فِيهَا.
“No crucial issue (nāzilah) befalls anyone among the people of Allah’s religion except that
the Book of Allah contains evidence providing guidance regarding it.”
Translated by Umar Quinn (hafidhahullah)
