The Mālikī giant al-Qarāfī (d. 684) states about “scholars” who have a thing against Uṣūl al-Fiqh: “A group of ignorant jurists (fuqahāʾ) are in agreement on disparaging it and treating it unfairly, and denigrating it in the hearts of students of knowledge, due to their own

al-Shāfiʿī used to complete 60 readings of the Qurʾān every Ramaḍān, and 30 readings every other month. This was separate from his readings in prayer. In an attempt to follow him, al-Dāraquṭnī’s teacher Ibn al-Ḥaddād (d. 345) tried the same, and completed 59/30 respectively.
