The Shaykh :“And likewise, al-Shafi'i said, as al-Bayhaqi reported from him, and his true master, al-Rabbani”
“Truly, Allah has decreed, our Lord, the caliphate above the heavens for the most sincere of the servants”
This means that al-Shafi'i stated that Allah the Exalted has decreed the caliphate of Abu Bakr in the heavens, and this is an affirmation of the exaltation of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)
“In love for the Messenger” “Love” here means the beloved
“In love for the Messenger, and the one who stood after him in truth, without failure or hesitation”
And by this he means Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him)
