The statement of al-Shafi'i: “Leave the days to do what they wish, and be at peace if the decree has ruled.” Is there a doctrinal defect in this verse?

Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, father, the questioner says: This verse is attributed to al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him), and it is his saying: "Let the days do what they will, and be at peace if the decree has ruled." He asks: Is there any doctrinal flaw in this verse?

Answer:
No, far from it, and absolutely not, for Imam al-Shafi'i. However, he says: Do not worry about the nights or the days; do not worry about them, because what Allah has decreed will happen, it will happen even if you do not desire it. This is the intention of al-Shafi'i: “Leave the days to do what they wish, and be at peace.” Look, the end of the verse clarifies the beginning: “Be at peace with what the decree has ruled.” The words of al-Shafi'i explain one another; he intends that you have no say in what happens in the days. This is in the hand of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and do not blame the days for what happens in them, because they are managed. Therefore, the prohibition against cursing time came. Yes.
