In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Say: Are those who know and those who do not know equal?
The splendor of knowledge according to the two wise men
By Dr. Hamza Ibn Faye Al Fathi
May God protect him
Deprived of the blessing of knowledge
Imam Al-Awza’i, the Imam of the Levant, may God Almighty have mercy on him, said:
He died in the year 157 AH
If God wants to deprive His servant of the blessing of knowledge
He threw falsehoods on his tongue
I saw them as the least knowledgeable people
Knowledge has a blessing known as correcting the path and being faithful to it
And choose his virtues
And follow it on the guidance of God
Staying away from harmful things, fallacies, and strange sciences
Hence the excessive detail or distortion of science and the spread of controversy
All of this goes to the pool of science
For this reason, fallacies were interpreted as what is not needed in terms of how or how
The point is the hidden, distant details
Which contradicts science, its essence and its truth
Some of them interpreted it as the difficulties and dilemmas of the issues
Or what is asked in the face of stubbornness and impotence of the sheikhs and notables
That is why Al-Khattabi, may God have mercy on him, said
In explaining the hadith that prohibits it, it is weak
The meaning is that he forbade scholars from objecting to difficult issues
In which there are many mistakes that cause people to lose their opinion about it
It is disliked to go into depth and affect the matter that a person does not need
It is necessary to stop doing what the responsible person does not know about
We have narrated on the authority of Ubayy ibn Ka’b that a man asked him about a matter that involved confusion
He said, “Has this happened yet?”
He said no
He said give me some time until it happens
And he treated her with oddities and trivial knowledge
And he raises the banner of argument unjustly
And the paths of foolishness
And pay lip service to knowledge and understanding
It is in short supply
Or still in first order
And at the beginning of his stairs
I swear to God, the success
