Is there a report from al-Shafi'i that when he entered the toilet, he would order the servant to recite the Qur'an until he could hear it?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a report from al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) that he would order the servant to recite to him while he was in the toilet? And is it permissible to place a recorder outside the toilet and listen to it during the ablution or while relieving oneself, whether what is being listened to is the Qur'an or something else?

Answer:
I do not know this about al-Shafi'i, but this is mentioned regarding Majd al-Din Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him). It is stated in the introduction of al-Muntaqa, in his biography, that he was eager to hear the remembrance of Allah, so when he entered the toilet, he would have someone outside recite the remembrance of Allah for him to listen to.
