In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Say: Are those who know equal to those who do not know?
The splendor of knowledge among the two wise men
By Dr. Hamza Ibn Faye Al Fathi
May God protect him
Characteristics of the chosen sheikh
Ibn Jamaa, may God have mercy on him, said
He died in the year seven hundred and thirty-three AH
He should choose the most knowledgeable, the most pious, and the most righteous
Abu Hanifa, may God have mercy on him, also chose
Hammad bin Suleiman, may God have mercy on him
After contemplation and contemplation
And he said
I found him to be a dignified old man
Tender and patient
And he said
It remained with Hammad Ibn Sulaiman and it grew
Not everyone who studies or practices it is correct to gain knowledge from him
Rather, academic qualifications must be taken into account
And his true status
This includes his mastery in his specialty
And that he was the most knowledgeable of the people of his time in that art
So that if you sit it, you will benefit from it
And I got an impressive result
He goes to people like her
One of the characteristics of a sheikh
His high year in knowledge
So that he is mature and has become marred by his differences in collecting and combining
Knowledge is not taken from minor events
Due to lack of experience and lack of scientific teaching
Likewise, let the most devout in religion, piety, and care for sanctity
Mostly according to Sharia law
Far from base morals
He knows the value of knowledge
It maintains its conditions and etiquette
And in the correct hadith
The virtue of knowledge is more beloved to me than the virtue of worship
The best religion for you is piety
Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, may God have mercy on him, said in Majmoo’ al-Fatawa
As for piety, it is refraining from what may harm
So taboos and doubts enter into it
Because it may harm
For he who avoids suspicions
He purged his religion and honor
And who fell under suspicion
He fell into sin
Like a shepherd around a mother-in-law who is about to encounter him
And whoever is proven by the venerable and knowledgeable Sheikh
He adhered to his approach and study
Grow a good plant
This also happened to Abu Hanifa, may God have mercy on him, with his sheikh Hammad bin Suleiman
He was honest with him and God granted him victory
I swear to God, the success
