❝Once al-Shafi’i came to see Ahmad b. Hanbal. He said to him,
“Oh Aba ‘Abdillah, earlier on I was with Ahlu-l ‘Iraq (Ahl al-Rai) debating and discussing with them such and such issue; only if I had with me a Hadith from Rasulullah ﷺ …”
Straight away Ahmad related to him three Hadiths (on the issue), after which al-Shafi’i thanked him by saying “Jazakallahu Khayra.”❞
