The following passage is from the introduction of Imām al-Nawawī to
his juristic masterpiece, al-Majmū':
It is authentically related from al-Shāfi'ī, mayAllāh Most High have
mercy on him, that he said, "I wish that the creation could have
learned this knowledge without a single word of it being attributed to
me."
And he, may Allāhhave mercy on him, said, "I have never disputed
anyone in order to overcome him, and whenever I dispute anyone, I love
that the truth should become manifest at his hands."
And he said, "I have never spoken to anyone except that I loved that
he should be granted success ( tawfīq ) and uprightness ( sadād ),
that he should be aided, and that he should be in the care and
protection of Allāh."
