Abu Haatim, Hasan bin Ahmed (rahimahullah) reports the following:

Imaam Maalik (rahimahullah) once addressed Imaam Shaafi‘ee (rahimahullah) and advised him saying, “Allah Ta‘ala has instilled a special noor and divine light within your heart. Do not extinguish this noor through committing sins and falling into the disobedience of Allah Ta‘ala.”

(Manaaqib-ush-Shaafi‘ee lilBayhaqi pg. 1/104)
