Therefore, beneficial knowledge from all these sciences consists of precision regarding the evidences from the Qur'ān and the Sunnah
فالعلم النافع من هذه العلوم كلها ضبط نصوص الكتاب والسنة

And understanding their meanings and to limit oneself to that which was narrated from the Companions,
وفهم معانيها والتقيد في ذلك بالمأثور عن الصحابة

Their students and those who followed them in interpreting the Qur'ān and hadīth
والتابعين وتابعيهم في معاني القرآن والحديث.

And in that which was narrated from their statements in the issues of Halāl and Harām and abstinence (from the Dunyā)
وفيما ورد عنهم من الكلام في مسائل الحلال والحرام. والزهد.

And heart softeners and knowledge (of Allāh) and other than this.
والرقائق. والمعارف. وغير ذلك

And making effort in differentiating that which is authentic from what is inauthentic firstly,
والاجتهاد على تمييز صحيحه من سقيمه أولا.

And then making effort in stopping at its meanings and understanding it secondly.
ثم الاجتهاد على الوقوف في معانيه وتفهمه ثانياً.

And in this is enough for the one who is sensible,
وفي ذلك كفاية لمن عقل.

And a preoccupation for the one who keeps busy and pays emphasis toward beneficial knowledge.
وشغل لمن بالعلم النافع عني واشتغل.

Ibn Mas'ūd said: If Allāh wanted goodness for a servant:
وَقَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ أَيْضًا: «إِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِعَبْدٍ خَيْرًا

He rectifies and guides him,
سَدَّدَهُ،

He makes his questions be about what benefits him,
وَجَعَلَ سُؤَالَهُ عَمَّا يَعْنِيهِ،

And He teaches him what is beneficial to him.
وَعِلْمَهُ فِيمَا يَنْفَعُهُ»

“The successful one in reality is who’s aided to recognize, follow, and love the truth.
الموفق حقاً ومن وفق لمعرفة الحق وأتباعه ومحبته،

The one who loses out is someone prevented from all that.

So what about who has fallen into chasing people away from the truth and blaming its people!?”
فما بالك بمن وقع في التنفير من الحق وعيب أهله؟!

Imām Aḥmad was asked about a scholar of hadīth who lied about a single hadīth,
قَالَ وسألت أَحْمَد عَنْ محدث كذب فِي حديث واحد

Then he repented and returned back.
ثم تاب ورجع

Imām Aḥmad answered: His repentance is between him and Allāh the Most High;
قَالَ: توبته فيما بينه وبين اللَّه تعالى

Hadīth should not be written from him ever again.
لا يكتب عنه حديث أبدًا.

“A scholar will definitely make mistakes,
وَأَنَّ الْعَالِمَ قَدْ يَزِلُّ وَلَا بُدَّ؛

Because he is not infallible.
إذْ لَيْسَ بِمَعْصُومٍ،

So it is not permissible to accept everything he says,
فَلَا يَجُوزُ قَبُولُ كُلِّ مَا يَقُولُهُ،

And give his statement the status of one who is infallible.
وَيُنَزَّلُ قَوْلُهُ مَنْزِلَةِ قَوْلِ الْمَعْصُومِ؛

This is what every scholar on the face of the earth has blamed and prohibited.”

Ibn Abī Usāmah said:
أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بنُ القَوَّاسِ: عَنِ الكِنْدِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنَا الكَرُوْخِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا شَيْخُ الإِسْلاَمِ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْقُوْبَ، حَدَّثَنَا الحُسَيْنُ بنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الخَفَّافُ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ يَقُوْلُ:

Imām Aḥmad was asked during the Trial [when he was beaten and imprisoned]:
حُكِيَ لَنَا أَنَّ أَحْمَدَ قِيْلَ لَهُ أَيَّامَ المِحْنَةِ:

“O Abū 'Abdullāh, Do you not see how haqq (the truth) was overtaken by bātil (falsehood)?”
يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ، أَوَلاَ تَرَى الحَقَّ كَيْفَ ظَهرَ عَلَيْهِ البَاطِلُ؟

He replied: “No, indeed falsehood overtaking the truth is when the hearts shift from guidance to misguidance,
قَالَ: كَلاَّ، إِن ظُهورَ البَاطِلِ عَلَى الحَقِّ أَنْ تَنْتَقِلَ القُلُوْبُ مِنَ الهُدَى إِلَى الضَّلاَلَةِ،

But our hearts are still stuck to the truth.”
وَقُلُوْبُنَا بَعْدُ لاَزمَةٌ لِلْحقِّ.

Shaykh Muḥammad Ibn AbdulLateef Aali-Shaykh (may Allāh have mercy on him) said:
قال العلامة محمد بن عبد اللطيف -رحمه الله-:

Know, that when the people differ and fitan [trials and turmoil] are widespread, nothing brings safety from it except Al-Basīrah [clear Knowledge and insight from Allāh that distinguishes Truth from falsehood].
واعلموا أنّه لا يُنجي عند اختلاف الناس ، وكثرة الفتن إلا البَصِيرَة ،

Not everyone who ascribes themselves to knowledge and wears its clothing should be asked questions,
وليس كُل من انتسب إلى العلم وتَزيَّا بزيّه يُسأل

Sought verdicts from, and be entrusted over your religion.
ويُستفتَى وتأمَنُونَهُ على دِينكُم

And do not take from just about anyone.
ولا تأخذوا عَمَّن هَبَّ ودبَّ

Yūsuf ibn Rayhan reported on the authority of his father that Imām Muḥammad bin Isma'īl al-Bukhārī said:
أنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ، أنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ نُعَيْمٍ الضَّبِّيُّ، أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ بْنِ رَيْحَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، قَالَ،: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، يَعْنِي الْبُخَارِيَّ - يَقُولُ:

The most virtuous of the Muslims is a man who revives an affair of the Sunnah of the Messenger ﷺ which had died out.
«أَفْضَلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ رَجُلٌ أَحْيَا سُنَّةً مِنْ سُنَنِ الرَّسُولِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ أُمِيتَتْ،

So be patient Oh People of the Sunnah, may Allāh have mercy upon you, for indeed you are the fewest of the people.
فَاصْبِرُوا يَا أَصْحَابَ السُّنَنِ رَحِمَكُمُ اللَّهُ فَإِنَّكُمْ أَقَلُّ النَّاسِ»

If there’s a shortage of bread, sugar, or a kind of greens, the general people are ready to declare their president to be a disbeliever.
فالعامة إن قل الخبز والسكر والملوخية فهم مستعدون أن يكفروا الرئيس

But if the president brings them what they need,
وإن أتى لهم بحاجاتهم

They say: “This is a Righteous Khalifa.”
قالوا: هذا خليفة راشد

Ash-Sha'bī said: I heard Al-Mughīrah ibn Shu'bah saying:
وَقَال الهيثم بْن عدي، عَنْ مجالد، عَنِ الشعبي: سمعت المغيرة بْن شعبة يقول:

No one ever tricked me in life except a boy from the tribe of al-Haarith bin K'ab.
ما غلبني أحد قط، وفي رواية ما خدعني. أحد فِي الدنيا إلا غلام من بني الحارث بْن كعب.

I proposed to a woman from their tribe,
فإني خطبت امرأة منهم،

So that young man came and confided to me saying, “Yā amīr there is no good in her for you because indeed I saw her kissing a man.”
فأصغى إلي الغلام، وَقَال: أيها الأمير لا خير لك فيها، إني رأيت رجلا يقبلها ,

So I decided to leave her alone.
فانصرفت عنها،

Then I was informed that same young man had married her.
فبلغني أن الغلام تزوجها،

So I asked him: Didn't you claim that you saw her kissing a man?
فقلت: أليس زعمت أنك رأيت رجلا يقبلها

He said, “I did not lie yā Amīr...I saw her father kissing her.”
قال: ما كذبت أيها الأمير رأيت أباها يقبلها،

So every time I remember his statement I knew for sure that I had been tricked.
فكلما ذكرت قوله علمت أنه خدعني.

And in a narration: Whenever I remembered what he did to me, it angered me.
وفي رواية: فإذا ذكرت ما فعل بي غاظني ذلك.

قَالَ ابْنُ طَاهِر: سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُوْلُ:

“The sword was put to my neck five times,
عُرضتُ عَلَى السَّيْف خَمْسَ مَرَّات،

(And each time) It was not said to me: ”Leave your madhab',
لاَ يُقَالَ لِي: ارْجِع عَنْ مَذْهَبك.

But rather it was said to me: “Remain silent about those who are in opposition to you.”
لَكِن يُقَالَ لِي: اسْكُتْ عَمَّنْ خَالفك.

So I would say, “I will not remain silent.”
فَأَقُوْلُ: لاَ أَسكُتُ.
