This study was conducted to analyse the problems that have been ittifak and ikhtilaf law as decided by al-Syeikhain (al-Imam al-Nawawi and al-Rafii) in Sabil al-Muhtadin of al-Shaykh Muhammad Arshad al-Banjari in 18th century. This study was based on content analysis using the theory of al-Muctamad cind al-shaficiyyah as its structure. This theory compiles Syafiiahs' qauls or views to be the decisive qauls in Shafii Sect. Interestingly, this theory remains to be practised. Regarding al-Syeikhain, their words became a major concern in producing the final qaul. Our analysis found 58 of al-Nawawi's qauls and 10 of al-Rafii's qauls. In total, both ittifak was found in three cases while both ikhtilaf have been found in 6 cases. Through the decisive theory, it has been proven that al-Banjari was in particular presenting the al-Syeikhain's qaul especially regarding ittifak and ikhtilaf. This result explains that the content of Sabil al-Muhtadin as Malay-Muslim ancient thinking work of art is very fine discipline according to Shafii Sect perspectives and should continue to be practised.
