Ibn ‘Abbas: ‘A hadith would reach me from one of the companions of the Messenger (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam). If I wished, I could’ve sent someone for it and he’d bring it to me. But it was I who went and sought it. I would lean against his (the narrator’s) door until he came out and narrated to me.’
Yahya ibn Sa’eed: I heard Sa’eed ibn al-Musayyib say, ‘If I could, I would travel for days and nights in search of a single narration.’
Al-Sha’bi: ‘If a person travelled from the farthest part of al-Sham to the farthest part of Yemen in order to hear a single statement of wisdom, I wouldn’t say that his journey was a waste.’
Malik ibn Anas: ‘It doesn’t befit a person who has knowledge, to abandon learning.’
It was said to ‘Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak, ‘Until when will you keep seeking knowledge?’ He said, ‘Until death, insha’Allah.’
Sufyan ibn ‘Uyaynah was asked, ‘Who needs to seek knowledge the most?’ He said, ‘Those with the most knowledge. Indeed their mistakes are the most unpleasant.’
Ibn Abi Ghassan: ‘You will continue to be knowledgeable so long as you learn. The moment you think yourself to be above learning, you become an ignorant.’
Sis. Contact me jazakAllah.
Ukhti, are you still emailing your posts? I keep missing out bc I’m used to receiving them by mail!
You should get feedburner. It automatically sends new posts to those who sign up and you don’t have to do anything 🙂 Email me and I can set it up for you or tell you how inshaAllah. It’s very easy.
There was a problem with the mailing list/account. But it has been resolved so updates should resume soon bi’ithnillah.
Will email you about this feedburner, sounds good.
Jazakillahu khayran 🙂
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh,
These are some great words of advice and encouragement for a person not to rely on others but make the effort themselves and rely on Allaah subhaanahu wa ta ‘ala.
May Allaah subhaanahu wa ta ‘ala bless and reward you and increase us in knowledge and action.
Assalaamu alaykum
