Pleasing all people is an unattainable goal

 Pleasing all people is an unattainable goal

Ash-Shafi’i said to Yunus bin Abdul-A‘la
 
“O Abu Musa, know that pleasing all people is an unattainable goal and there is no way to be completely safe from them. Therefore, see where your righteous benefit lies, and adhere by it; and leave people and all they indulge in.”
[Al-‘Uzlah, Page 79]
