Question:
He says: I do not want to respond to the verse that is attributed to al-Shafi'i. It was reported to him that al-Shafi'i composed it, and in the composer, a good decision is made.
Answer:
In short, at the end of the verse, it says: "If the decree rules, the days do what they do by the command of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He." Al-Shafi'i is known for his belief, and he explicitly stated at the end of the verse: "If the decree rules, the days are not independent in their actions; rather, they act by the command of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He." Yes. I. Yes. May Allah preserve you. In any case, even if it were found in al-Shafi'i's Diwan, the end of the verse clarifies it, so be at peace with what the decree has ruled.
This Diwan of al-Shafi'i was not compiled by him, nor was it compiled during his time. It was only compiled recently, gathered from books, and Allah knows best. It is like the Diwan of 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, and like... they were not compiled by their authors, nor during their time, nor by their narrators and students. They were only compiled afterwards, and Allah knows best about the authenticity of everything in them. There is some authentic material in them, and some that is not authentic. So, as I mentioned, since it is not found in what was compiled, this is also one of the answers: it is not established that al-Shafi'i said it.
