In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Abdur-Rahman Bin Abee Layla, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

I have met a hundred and twenty companions of the Messenger, peace and blessing of Allah be upon him, in this Masjid and not a single one of them would be asked about a hadith, except he wished that his brother would suffice him in (answering). Then the matter was assigned to a people who claimed knowledge at present. They give answers in matters which if presented to Umar Ibn Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, he would have gathered the (Sahabah of) Badr to consult them. (1)

Yahyah Ibn Sa’eed, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

I heard Al-Qasim Ibn Muhammad, may Allah have mercy upon him, say: “A person lives his (whole) life being ignorant is better for him than giving Fatawa without knowledge”. (2)
