📜Imām Abu Ishāq ash-Shātibī al-Ghurnātī al-Andalusī said:

♦️Verily this Blessed Shariah is [in] Arabic.

And this is made clear in Usūl al-Fiqh. The Qur’ān is not in the words of the non-Arab or non-Arabic terms spoken by the Arabs. [it is agreed upon] with the majority from the Usūlīn. The Qur’ān came on accordance with that.

The seeking of the understanding of the Qur’ān it truly comes from this special path (Arabic) because Allah, the most High says:

إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَاهُ قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ

Verily, We have sent it down as an Arabic Quran in order that you may understand. [Surah Yusuf: 2]

بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِيٍّ مُّبِينٍ

In the plain Arabic language. [al-Shuara: 195]

وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّمَا يُعَلِّمُهُ بَشَرٌ لِّسَانُ الَّذِي يُلْحِدُونَ إِلَيْهِ أَعْجَمِيٌّ وَهَٰذَا لِسَانٌ عَرَبِيٌّ مُّبِينٌ

And indeed We know that they (polytheists and pagans) say: "It is only a human being who teaches him (Muhammad (ﷺ). The tongue of the man they refer to is foreign, while this (the Quran) is a clear Arabic tongue. [an-Nahl: 103]

وَلَوْ جَعَلْنَاهُ قُرْآنًا أَعْجَمِيًّا لَّقَالُوا لَوْلَا فُصِّلَتْ آيَاتُهُ أَأَعْجَمِيٌّ وَعَرَبِيٌّ قُلْ هُوَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا هُدًى وَشِفَاءٌ وَالَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ فِي آذَانِهِمْ وَقْرٌ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَمًى أُولَٰئِكَ يُنَادَوْنَ مِن مَّكَانٍ بَعِيدٍ

And if We had sent this as a Quran in a foreign language other than Arabic, they would have said: "Why are not its Verses explained in detail (in our language)? What! (A Book) not in Arabic and (the Messenger) an Arab?" [Fussilat: 44]

It is established that it is Arabic, with the language of the Arabs and it is not non-Arabic. So, it is intended of its comprehension. And from the the way of the language of the Arabs, it was understood. And there is no path to seek its understanding, other than this path (Arabic).

♦️From the pride of the Malikīyah, the top scholar of Andalusia, Imām ash-Shātibī al-Andalusī said in regards to the people who follow their desires:

اتخذوا الرجال ذريعة لأهوائهم

"They take men as an excuse for following their desires."

بحثوا عن أقوال العلماء في المسألة المسؤول عنها حتى يجدوا القول الموافق للسائل فأفتوا به ، زاعمين أن الحجة في ذلك لهم قول من قال : اختلاف العلماء رحمة

"They look for statements of scholars on a particular issue they asked about until they find the answer that pleases the questioner. So they take that fatwa contending that the evidence for that (i.e. their act of seeking that opinion they like) is the statement: 'The difference of opinion amongst scholars is a mercy'.

Ibn Hazm al-Andalusī:

For my own part death itself would be easier for me to face, than parting from my beloved; and breaking off only brings me sadness and, if it continue, may well provoke me to frenzy.
