The life of the predecessors between words and deeds
What was said about science and scientists
Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, said to a man
Do you know what destroys Islam?

He is destroyed by the slip of the world

And the ruling of misguided imams
On the authority of Ibn Abbas, may God be pleased with them both, he said
Do you know what the loss of knowledge is?
They said no
He said
Scientists go

The jurist comes between God and His servants
Let him see how he enters
Abu Jaafar said
Muhammad bin Ali, may God have mercy on him
By God, the death of a scholar is more beloved to Satan than the death of seventy worshipers
He also said, may God have mercy on him
A scholar who benefits from his knowledge is better than a thousand worshipers

Today, we are more in need of knowledge than of action

This science is a religion
So look from whom you take your religion
Abdul Ala Al-Taymi, may God have mercy on him, said
Whoever is given knowledge does not make him cry
It is likely that he will not be given knowledge that will benefit him
Because God Almighty called the scholars
Then he read
Those who were given knowledge before him
When it is recited to them, they fall down
They bow down to their chins in prostration
And they say, Glory be to our Lord, if the promise of our Lord is to be fulfilled
They bow down to their chins, weeping, and this increases their humility
On the authority of Sufyan Al-Thawri, may God have mercy on him, he said:
This hadith is glorious
Whoever wants the world, he will get this world
And whoever wants the afterlife, then the afterlife
It was authentically reported on the authority of Rabi’ah, may God have mercy on him

Scientists are what I need in every town
And they are my desire
I found my heart right in sitting with scholars

He was told that he had no breadth of knowledge
He said he was a good man
Like him, he succeeds in achieving the truth
He was asked, may God have mercy on him, about Marouf Al-Karkhi
He said he had the foundation of knowledge
God fearing
It was said: Abu Bakr bin Tahir, may God have mercy on him
What can a person tolerate from his teacher?
What he cannot bear from his parents
He said because his parents are the reason for his mortal life
And his teacher is the reason for his remaining life
