"Imam Shafi'i said that the testimony of four companions will not be accepted and those four are Muawiya, Amr ibn al-As, Mugheera and Ziyad. This view of Imam Shafi'i has also been attributed to him by his student Abu al-Fida". That is not correct. That statement has no Isnad. Abul Fidah (BTW, he is not his student!) said: "روي" which is a word that is usually used when that attribution is false. In fact it is Shafi accepted the testimony of the three in his books. Ziyad is not even a Sahabi. --Islamic 05:22, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

It is stated in Rawdah-al-Manazir fi al-Awai'l wa al 'Awakhir that [1]: Imam Shafi'i said that the testimony of four companions will not be accepted and those four are Muawiya, Amr ibn al-As, Mugheera and Ziyad. This view of Imam Shafi'i has also been attributed to him by his student Abu al-Fida [2]. | ” |
