In Section 10 of the Khosrow Nameh, Farid al-Din Attar praises Imam Shafi'i, focusing on his genealogy and spiritual standing. Attar highlights Shafi'i's kinship to the Prophet Muhammad ('ibn amm-i Mustafa') and his Quraishi descent, referencing the traditional Hadith that leadership belongs to the Quraish ('al-a'immatu min quraysh'). Attar argues that Shafi'i's deep immersion in the Prophet's religion elevates him to the status of a supreme guide ('sultan-i jaysh') for seekers on the spiritual path.
