[15] Advice for seekers of knowledge–Do not regard any affair of the deen to be light and simple!

Imaam Maalik (rahimahullaah) was asked about a Mas’alah (an affair of the religion), so he said, “I don’t know.” Then it was said: “Indeed, it is a light and simple affair!!” So he became angry and said: “There is nothing light in knowledge, and have you not heard the statement of Allaah (The Most High): [إِنَّا سَنُلۡقِى عَلَيۡكَ قَوۡلاً۬ ثَقِيلاً-Verily, We shall send down to you a weighty Word (i.e. obligations, legal laws, etc. (73:5)] All (affairs) of knowledge are heavy, especially that which one will be questioned about on the Day of Judgement.

[14] Advice for seekers of knowledge–before you answer a question!

Imaam Maalik used to say: “Whoever is to answer a question about a Mas’alah (an affair of the religion), then it is befitting that he turns his attention to the Paradise and Hellfire before he answers and how he can be saved in the afterlife. Then he answers (the question).”

Imaam Maalik (rahimahullaah) said: Beware of bidah! So it was said, “O father of Abdullaah! What is bidah? He said, “The people of bidah-those who speak (with speculation) about Allaah’s Names, His Attributes, His Speech, His Knowledge and His Qudrah, and they do not keep quiet about what the Sahaabah kept quiet about and those who followed them exactly in faith.”
Imaam Maalik (rahimahullaah) also said: “If philosophical rhetoric was knowledge, the sahaabah and their followers would have spoke about it just as they spoke about the rulings of the Religion; but it (i.e. philosophical rhetoric) is falsehood and leads to falsehood.”

Al-Hasan Al-Basri (rahimahullaah) stated about the saying of Allaah  [وَمِنۡهُم مَّن يَقُولُ رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِنَا فِى ٱلدُّنۡيَا حَسَنَةً۬ وَفِى ٱلۡأَخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً۬ –  And of them there are some who say: “Our Lord! Give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good (2:201]

Good in the worldly life is Knowledge and worship.

Good in the afterlife is Paradise.

[5] Advice for the seekers of knowledge-Learn before the likes of these people appear!

Uqbah Bin Aamir (radiyallaahu-anhu) said: ”Learn before those who depend on guessing”; meaning: those who base their judgement on presumption. (1) Imaam Nawawi (rahimahullaah) stated in Al-Majmoo (1/42): The meaning of  it (i.e. this statement of Uqbah) is: ”Learn knowledge from its people before they depart -those competent god fearing people-and there appear a people (who) speak in (affairs) of knowledge by way of their own (ideas) and presumptions, which has no sharia basis.”  (2)

How can Shaikh say that such and such is deviated, whilst he opposes the Soofees etc- A statement of some of the Hizbiyyoon aimed at sheltering their deviant figureheads of Tamyee and Bidah

Imaam Barbahaaree (rahimahullaah) said: ‘It is not permitted for a man to say, ‘So and so is a person of the sunnah’ until he knows that he combines the characteristics of the Sunnah, so it is not said of him, ‘a person of the Sunnah’ until he combines all the Sunnah.'[1]

Shaikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan (hafidha-hullaah) commented on the above statement of Imaam Barbahaaree saying:

Do not give recommended to a person and a praise of him, except based on knowledge, lest the people become deceived by your praise of him, whilst he is not what (you have stated about him).  So when his real affair and path is clear to you, his knowledge and steadfastness; then you can give him recommendation. As for giving out praise and recommendation whilst not knowing of anything about him, then this is a dangerous recommendation through which the people will be deceived by this person.

Had only those who give commendations to the people stopped at that (i.e. put it in its proper place), then they would not give recommendation, except for one who fulfils the conditions of (receiving) recommendation because recommendation is a ‘Witness’; so, if the recommendation is not correct it will be a false witness.

And concerning the statement of Imaam Barbahaaree: ‘until he knows that he combines the characteristics of the Sunnah’ Shaikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan commented on the above statement saying: The characteristics of the Sunnah are to be in Aqeedah, Knowledge and adherence to the Salafus Saaleh.  But if there is not in him except a single characteristic of the (sunnah), then he is not judged to be from Ahlus Sunnah on the basis of a single characteristic or one thing, so what about the one who does not have anything from that? [End of quote: It-haaful Qaaree Bitta’liqaat Alaa Sharhis Sunnah Lil Imaam Barbahaaree, Vol: 2, page:275-276]

So be mindful of those who utilise these foolish statements in order to hide the other deviations and innovations of their figureheads. Likewise, be distant from the obstinate blind followers—those who carry the slogan of Ikhtilaaf, whilst intending falsehood by way of it and to reject the clear unambiguous knowledge based refutations of the scholars against the figureheads of hizbiyyah, bidah and Tamyee.

Muhammad Ibn Ubaid At-Tannaafusiy (rahimahullaah) used to say to the people of hadeeth: “Why do not be like Eesa Ibn Yunus (rahimahullaah)? When he (Eesa) used to meet Al’Amash (rahimahullaah), whilst the youth and the Shuyookh were with him, they used to look at his (upright) conduct and manners.
