1. I said, as he persisted in reproaching me,

    thinking that the weariness came from my side:

  2. “Your beauty has always been my intercessor—my Shāfiʿī—

    O my master—my Mālikī—how did you become a Muʿtazilī, shunning me?

  3. This cheek of yours—this Ashʿarī—has made me a Ḥanafī,

    and has become for me one of the most praiseworthy schools—Aḥmad’s own.”

Sol 5.6
