Thankfully, I doubt Iman Shafi is much of a controversial figure. Nevertheless, the tone of this article must be changed and apocryphal history must be indicated as such. Uly 17:33, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
- What do you mean by tone and apocryphal history? Could you be more specific? Yodakii 07:42, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
The Arabic version of the name is: امام شافعي (I just don't know how to insert it without messing up the surrounding text.)Yodakii
It doesnt look good to read an article about a great imam and then seeing "the neutrality of this article is disputed".
- There doesn't seem to be a discussion about NPOV, just tone. Yodakii 11:14, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Move + Britannica
Shafi'i is what is used for the madhhab. Britannica has Abu 'Abd Allah ash-Shafi'i which would be a long , but I think quite acceptable move. For those with access to Britannica see this. gren グレン 08:14, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
- I support renaming the article. "Imam" is not a part of his name, and "Shafi'i" is the correct transliteration according to the Wikipedia standard. Yodakii 10:17, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
This article has been renamed after the result of a move request. Dragons flight 05:25, September 10, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Drastic Action
I just trashed the whole mess and re-wrote it using the information in the Majid Khadduri's translation of al-Risala Kleinecke 20:35, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
I believe the entry should be changed back to al-Shafi'i. But I didn't do that. And I unassimilated at the "al". Kleinecke 20:38, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

- Too drastic. I think there was some content in the old version that you deleted which might have been informative. Perhaps you should review your changes and do a merge? --Nkv 05:59, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] when Imam Shafi'i was in his mother's womb...
Is it true that Imam Shafi'i's mother was pregnant for 4 years (instead of usual 9 months) before imam syafi'i was born? I just wondered about it cause I'd read somewhere about it.....
