    “Bring me anything that benefits people and I will find a proof for it in the ’shariah’ (law/way) of Islam”

    قدموا لي أي شيء ينفع للناس وأنا آتيكم بسند له في الشريعة الإسلامية
    It means “Present me with anything that is beneficial to people and I will bring you support for it from Islamic doctrine/Shariah”
    The author, in my humble opinion, is eluding to the fact that Islam is encompassing of all that is good to humans/humanity

    Awesome stuff, mA. Check out what Google Translate gave me:

    I have nothing good to the people and I come to you with authority in the Islamic Sharia.

    I think it are teh fail?

    “Give me anything that benefits mankind and I’ll give you it’s sanad in the shari’ah”

    - i would say sanad is by know a mustalah engliziyy among the students. if not:

    “Give me anything that benefits mankind and I’ll give you a source for it in the Shari’ah”

    (i think this would probably be a better way of translating it, simply because it has something of the arabic’s linguistic power. this sounds more like something that would be said than formally written, and in a speech the above would be more suitable than a formal english translation, w’Allahu a’lam).

    Give me anything benefits mankind, and I’ll show you it’s reference in Islamic law [Shari'a].
