“I had to testify in a case before abu Yusuf, the judge, who said, ‘O ibn abu Ya’fur I still say about you, when you are my neighbor, that I know you only as a truthful person of long nights (for worshipping Allah) except “that thing”.’ He then asked, ‘What is “that thing”?’ He (the judge) said, ‘It is your tendency to the al-Rafidah (rejectionists).’ Ibn abu Ya’fur then wept until his tears flowed down and said, ‘O abu Yusuf, you are ascribing me to a community of people. I am afraid of not being of them.’ The judge then admitted his testimony.”
