From the words of the Master of Messengers
May God bless him and grant him peace
Science book
Chapter on the virtue of knowledge
God Almighty said
And say, “My Lord, increase me in knowledge.”
And the Almighty said
Say: Are those who know equal?
And those who do not know
And the Almighty said
May God raise those of you who believe
And those who have been given knowledge have degrees
And the Almighty said
Only those of His learned servants fear God
On the authority of Muawiyah, may God be pleased with him, he said
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
Whoever God wants good for, He will understand the religion
Agreed
One of the benefits of talking
Whoever does not understand religion and learn the rules of Islam
And its related branches
Goodness has been forbidden
A clear statement of the superiority of scholars over other people
And because of the superiority of understanding religion over all other sciences
Knowledge is not acquired only
But acquisition is a means
Then the servant should seek help from God
To grant him sound understanding and good intentions
On the authority of Ibn Masoud, may God be pleased with him, he said:
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
There is no envy except in two cases
A man to whom God has given wealth
So he led him to destroy him in the truth
And a man to whom God gave wisdom
He decrees it and teaches it
Agreed
What is meant by envy is bliss
He should wish for the same
On the authority of Abu Musa, may God be pleased with him, he said:
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
Just like what God sent me with of guidance and knowledge
Like rain hitting the ground
There was a good group of them that accepted the water
It produced abundant pastures and grass
Among them was an ajadab that held water
So God benefited people with it
So they drank from it, watered it, and planted
A group of them struck others
It is a resurrection
It does not hold water and does not grow grass
That is like spending in the religion of God
What God sent me with will benefit him
He taught and learned
And like someone who did not raise his head
He did not accept the guidance of God that I sent him
Agreed
On the authority of Sahl bin Saad, may God be pleased with him
That the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
He said to Ali, may God be pleased with him
By God, God will guide one man through you
Better for you than red camels
Agreed
On the authority of Abdullah bin Omar bin Al-Aas, may God be pleased with them both
That the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
Convey even a verse from me
They talked about the children of Israel and there is no problem
And who lied to me intentionally
Let him take his seat in Hell
Narrated by Al-Bukhari
One of the benefits of talking
It is necessary to communicate the religion in writing and in the Sunnah
And a person performs what he has memorized and understood
Even if it was easy
If every servant hastens to do so
He called it the transmission of everything that he, may God bless him and grant him peace, brought
Relieve the embarrassment of those who speak about the children of Israel
Because they contain miracles
But they should not be believed or denied
Unless there is evidence to support this in our Sharia with authentic transmission
It is forbidden to lie to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
The scholars have agreed on a number of major sins
Rather, some of them went to expiate the one who lied to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
Whoever follows a path seeks knowledge therein
May God make his path to Paradise easy for him
Narrated by Muslim
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
Whoever calls for guidance
He had a reward similar to the rewards of those who followed him
This does not detract from their wages at all
Narrated by Muslim
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, he said
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
If the son of Adam dies
His work is interrupted except for three things
ongoing charity
Or useful knowledge
Or a good boy prays for him
Narrated by Muslim
One of the benefits of talking
Encouragement to prepare for death by good deeds
Good deeds whose effect remains after the death of the doer, their reward lasts
Good luck stopping good deeds
Such as building mosques and schools
Digging wells and planting trees
It is all ongoing charity
The desirability of teaching science and classifying useful books
It is useful knowledge whose impact lasts
It lasts longer over time
Encouraging the upbringing of children and teaching them the duties, sunnahs and etiquette
To be among the righteous
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, he said
I heard the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, say
The world is cursed
Cursed be what is in it
Except the remembrance of God Almighty and what follows Him
A scholar or an educated person
Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi
His saying and what not
That is, obedience to God
On the authority of Anas, may God be pleased with him, he said:
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
Whoever goes out in pursuit of knowledge
He was on the path of God until he returned
Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi
On the authority of Abu Saeed Al-Khudri, may God be pleased with him
On the authority of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, he said
No believer will be satisfied with good
Until his end is paradise
Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi
One of the benefits of talking
This hadith is attested to by his saying, may God bless him and grant him peace
They are insatiable
Insatiable in knowledge
And he is exhausted in an insatiable world
The seeker of knowledge is exhausted and never satisfied with knowledge
Because not being satisfied with it is one of the requirements of faith and a characteristic of believers
This is why the imams of Islam were told to one of them
How long will knowledge last, he says
From the inkwell to the cemetery
The student of knowledge asks for more of it
In fulfillment of what God Almighty says
And say, “My Lord, increase me in knowledge.”
The pleasure that comes from knowledge and faith
In a permanent renewable state
Its owner is still asking for more and is keen on me
On the authority of Abu Umamah, may God be pleased with him
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
The superiority of the scholar over the worshiper
Like my superiority over those below you
Then the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
God, His angels, and the people of the heavens and the earth
Even the ant in its hole
And even a whale
To pray for the good teacher of people
Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi
One of the benefits of talking
Urging people to teach goodness
Because it is the reason for their salvation, happiness, and the purification of their souls
And who did that
May God reward him for his work
By making his prayers and the prayers of his angels and the people of his heavens and earth upon him
What will be the reason for his salvation, happiness and success
Teacher of good people
Because it was a manifestation of the Lord’s religion and its rulings
And introducing them to His names and attributes
May God make his prayers and the prayers of the people of His heavens and earth
What is your intention?
And as an honor and a show of praise for him
Between the people of heaven and earth
Scientists pray
They perform the function of prophets
It is calling people to God and teaching people goodness
They are the heirs of the prophets
Therefore, they were preferred over people
He also preferred the prophets over the people
This does not mean equating two positions
On the authority of Abu Darda, may God be pleased with him, he said
I heard the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, say
Whoever follows a path seeking knowledge
May God make his path to heaven easy
The angels lower their wings to the seeker of knowledge
Satisfaction with what he does
And the world does not seek forgiveness from anyone in the heavens or on earth
Even whales are in the water
He preferred the scholar over the worshiper
Like the moon’s superiority over all the other planets
The scholars are the heirs of the prophets
The prophets did not leave behind a dinar or a dirham
But he inherited knowledge
Whoever takes it will have great luck
Narrated by Abu Dawud and Al-Tirmidhi
One of the benefits of talking
Encouraging students to respect and be humble towards them
And be satisfied with their actions and pray and ask forgiveness for them
The virtue of knowledge
His ray of light illuminates for people the paths of goodness and truth
Knowledge is the greatest and most honorable wealth
Whoever possesses it should respect and honor it
Perfect knowledge of work
And following the example of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
In character and behavior
Insulting and harming scholars is immorality and misguidance
Because they carried the legacy of prophecy
On the authority of Ibn Masoud, may God be pleased with him, he said:
I heard the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, say
May God bless someone who hears something from us

God bless you
Pray for him well
And what is meant
God has good His creation and destiny
One of the benefits of talking
Encouragement to spread knowledge and teach people goodness
Knowledge should be preserved without increase or decrease
Because the performer is a delegate
People's understandings vary
There may be a more informed person than a listener
There may be a holder of jurisprudence who is not a jurist
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, narrated it to those of his nation who performed a hadith he heard
It requires that the mercy of God Almighty protect him
And he will be one of the winners on the Day of Resurrection
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, he said
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
Whoever is asked about knowledge, conceals it
On the Day of Resurrection, I will be bridled with a bridle of fire

Whoever learns knowledge that seeks the face of God Almighty
He does not learn it except to be afflicted with it by some accident in the world
He will not find the knowledge of Paradise on the Day of Resurrection
I mean, its smell
Narrated by Abu Dawood
One of the benefits of talking
Sincerity must be at the core of knowledge and its teaching
Whoever takes knowledge as a vehicle for the desires and trappings of this world
God will punish him on the Day of Resurrection
On the authority of Abdullah bin Omar bin Al-Aas, may God be pleased with them both, he said
I heard the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, say
God does not seize knowledge by snatching it from people
But knowledge is captured by scholars
Even if there are no scientists left
People took fools as their leaders
They were asked and gave a fatwa without knowledge
They preferred and went astray
Agreed
The scholars were arrested, meaning they died
One of the benefits of talking
The death of scholars is a calamity that befalls the nation and a breach in Islam
Encouragement to preserve knowledge
Warning against the leadership of the ignorant
Fatwa is true leadership
He condemns those who do it without knowledge
Ignorant people prevail when scholars fail in their duty
Fatwa by opinion
The path of misguidance and misguidance
The ignorant person dares to issue a fatwa
He issues fatwas without knowledge
But if people of knowledge are asked about a matter of which they have no knowledge
They said I don't know
