Gems & Benefits 📚💭

2021-08-17 19:58:12 Shaykh Muḥammad Amān al-Jāmī رحمه الله said:

"You have those who have only studied Uṣūl ath-Thalātha (i.e. a beginner), then he sits in the corner and gives rulings upon the people (by saying):

'So and so is a Ṭāghūt! So and so is a Jāhil (ignoramus)! So and so is a Mubtadi' (innovator)! Whoever does not declare so and so to be a Mubtadi' is a Mubtadi' himself!'

Fatāwā (verdicts) that are issued from the windows, from the corners of the masājid (i.e. from insignificant people), and from the homes of those who have not studied a single thing!

Have mercy upon the people! Rather, have mercy upon yourselves! This is a (severe) error! Study and learn!"

[Sharḥ al-Wājibāt al-Mutaḥattimāt, 3]

“I asked (Imām) Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal رحمه الله about a man who has a hundred-thousand aḥadīth with him, is he considered to be a Ṣāḥib (i.e. disciple) of Ḥadīth?”

He replied: “No.”

So I asked: “What about (a man who memorised or collected) two-hundred thousand aḥadīth? Is he considered to be a Ṣāḥib of Ḥadīth?”

He replied: “No.”

So I asked: “(What about) three-hundred thousand aḥadīth?”

He (i.e. Imām Aḥmad) moved his hand back-and-forth (i.e. gesturing 'maybe').”

Abū Bakr b. Abī Shaybah رحمه الله - the author of al-Muṣannaf - said:

“Whoever has not written twenty-thousand aḥadīth by hand is not considered a person of ḥadīth.”

إِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِعَبْدٍ خَيْرًا فَتْحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ بَابَ الْعَمَلِ وَأَغْلَقَ عَنْهُ بَابَ الْجَدَلِ وَإِذَا أَرَادَ بِعَبْدٍ شَرًّا أَغْلَقَ عَلَيْهِ بَابَ الْعَمَلِ وَفَتَحَ عَلَيْهِ بَابَ الْجَدَلِ

"If Allāh wants goodness for a servant, He opens the door of action (for him) and closes the door of argumentation, and if He wills evil for a servant, He closes the door of action (for him) and opens the door of argumentation."

‏والله ما هؤلاء إلا قوم ملوا العبادة. ووجدوا الكلام أهون عليهم، وقل ورعهم فتكلموا

"By Allāh, these ones have become bored of worship, speaking has become easy for them, and their piety has diminished, and that is why they talk and argue (so easily)."

2021-06-02 17:30:05 Shaykh Ibn al-'Uthaymīn رحمه الله said:

القرآن الكريم: فإنه يجب على طالب العلم الحرص عليه قراءة وحفظا وفهما وعـملأ به، فإن القرآن هو حبل الله المتين، وهو أساس العلوم، وقد كـان السلف يحرصون عليه غـاية الحرص فيذكر عنهم الشيء العجيب من حرصهم على القرآن، فتجـد أحدهم حفظ القرآن وعـمره سبع سنوات، وبعضهم حـفظ القرآن في أقل من شهر، وفي هذا دلالة على حرص السلف - رضوان الله عليهم ـ على القرآن، فيجب على طالب العلم الحرص عليـه وحفظه على يد أحد المعلمين؛ لأن القـرآن يؤخذ عن طريق التلقي. وإنه مما يؤسف له أن تجد بعض طلبة العلم لا يحفظ القرآن، بل بعضـهم لا يحسن القـراءة، وهذا خلل كبير في منهج طلب العلم. لذلك أكـرر أنه يجب على طلبة العلم الحرص على حفظ القرآن والعمـل به والدعـوة إليه وفهمه فهما مطابقا لفهم السلف الصالح

"The Noble Qurʾān - it is obligatory upon the student of knowledge to adhere strictly to reading, memorising, understanding and acting in accordance to it. Certainly, the Qurʾān is the strong and firm rope of Allāh, and it is the foundation of all sciences (in the religion). The Salaf (Pious Predecessors) used to adhere strictly to it, making this their goal.

In mentioning something astonishing about their strict adherence to the Qurʾān, you would find one of them had memorised the Qurʾān by the age of seven, whilst others had memorised the Qurʾān in less than a month! In this there is a clear sign regarding the strict adherence to the Qurʾān by the Salaf - may Allāh be pleased with them all.

It is therefore obligatory upon the student of knowledge to adhere strictly to it and memorise it under the guardianship of one of its teachers, because the Qurʾān is memorised through being instructed by a qualified teacher (i.e. it cannot be self-taught).

It is regretful that one finds some of the students of knowledge do not memorise the Qurʾān, nor do some of them even recite the Qurʾān well, and this is a huge defect in their approach to seeking knowledge.

Because of this, I reiterate that it is obligatory upon the students of knowledge to adhere strictly to memorising the Qurʾān and to act in accordance to it and invite to it and understand it according to the understanding of the Salaf al-Ṣāliḥ."
