Muhammad ibn Idris al-Shafi'i

Imam of the Shafi'i madhhab, died in al-Ma'mun's days; per al-Suyuti, al-Mutawakkil said 'my grief over Muhammad ibn Idris — I wished I lived in his days to learn from him, for I dreamt the Prophet saying he left you a good science: follow it and be guided' — whence al-Suyuti concludes al-Mutawakkil was the first caliph to adopt a madhhab.
