Imam Shafi’ee (radi allahu anho)

[aaq]

Assalaamu alaykum,

Imam Shafi’ee (radi allahu anho) was standing in front of a mulberry tree when someone asked him about Allah (subhanu wa ta’ala). Imam Shafi’ee (radi allahu anho) answered ‘Take a look at this mulberry tree. If goats eat its leaves milk is formed, if a bee sucks its leaves honey is created, if a silkworm eats its leaves silk is obtained and if a deer eats its leaves we acquire musk. All four have different compositions and realities but the mulberry leaves can only have one reality because one item only has one innate reality. If the innate reality of these leaves is milk then how do we also obtain silk, honey and musk? Similarly if the innate reality is silk, how were all the other items formed? We realise that the leaves do not contain a requirement for any item – Allah (subhanu wa ta’ala) is the creator of all. If he desires he can put leaves in the mouth of a goat and extract milk or allow a bee to suck the leaves and obtain honey or order a deer to eat the leaves and produce fragrant musk or make them a food for silk-worms to convert to silk.’

Wassalaamu alaykum,
