قال ابن أبي الحكم: سمعت الشافعي يقول

لو علم الناس ما في الكلام لفروا منه كما يفرون من الأسد

Ibn Abil Hakam (rahimahullaah) said: I heard Ash-shaafi’ee (rahimahullaah) saying:

“If the people knew what is in philosophical rhetoric, they would have fled from it, just as they would flee from a lion.”
