 فَشْرُفْ بِي لِشْتِ غَالِي بالْعِنْمِ وَلَاَ تَبْغِي بِهِ مَا عِشْتَ يا دَدَدَ لاَ وَيَلَهُ مِنْ شَرَافٍ عَظِيمِ وأن شعورنا مخرف خارجنا سوف نأخذ سؤالنا عن كل شيء قتل كما قلته What did he mention? He mentioned four things right now The first thing that he mentioned was the best ملاه He said BismillahirRahmanirRahim, the book started with that ثم يتكلم الحمد لله الحمد لله رب العالمين ثم يتكلم بعد ذلك الشهادة شدوة الله إلا إلا الله وشدوة أنه محمد الرسول الله صح؟ شهادة ثم يتكلم الرسول الذي يتكلم الصلاة على النبي الصلاة على النبي وعلى آله وصحابه على جميعه وعلى عائله those are the four things the author has now told us that's what we took from his statement and those four the sunnah is when writing a book I'm sending an email the sunnah of the messenger is more of writing the basmalah just to write bismillah as for the concept of writing the hamdallah is mainly for the khutab when the person is doing that salmon in the salmon the Friday khutba you don't say bismillah when you're starting you say inna alhamdulillah straight away but when you're writing letters you say what? you write the basmalah and you leave off the hamdallah because the Prophet ﷺ never used to write on his message letters that he was sent to the leaders he would not write alhamdulillah on it the author then says أما بعدوا to proceed فلم يزل العلم إرثا جليلا the author says فلم يزل العلم knowledge has been because the reason I'm saying has been is because فلم يزل is نفيو نفيو إثباتين صحة استقاعدة to negating something twice is an affirmation right because the word لم is a nephew right are you with me يزل is also a nephew in it the word لم is a nephew it's a negation and what يزل is also a negation it has معنى نفيو in it a meaning of negation in it so to negation which is نفيو نفيو إثبات negation negation is an affirmation the meaning is going to be يكون العلم إرثا جليلا that's what the author is trying to say that knowledge has been what إرثا جليلا an honorable thing that has been inherited it's always been something very honorable that's been passed over has always been the case تتعقب عليه الأماثل جيلا جيلا تتعقب means what that's one after the other have been passing it over to one another generations after generation the word تتعقب comes from the word عقب it's the heel of the person if you look at the person's heel somebody's behind another person heel to heel that's what the word تتعقب means a meaning one generation passes away they pass it over to the other and they are one after the other the word الأماثل are the honorable people the honorable people are passing it over to each other جيلا جيلا جيلا means what generation generation after generation they are passing it over to each other the honorable people ليس للطلاب المعالي هم سواه the people طلاب المعالي the people who have high aspirations high goal their aspiration and their lofty aspiration is what nothing except it ليس للطلاب المعالي the seekers of high معالي here means what something that's high those who are seeking something high they have nothing besides knowledge which they are they love they have no other hem aspiration except what knowledge that's all they live for and that's the truth ولذلك الشيخ الإسلام إبن تيمي when he went to the leader of his time and he said to him ملكك يا كيندم لا يُسا وعن دي فلسيني it is not equal to me two cents I mean two pennies to me your kingdom and by the way you have to realize these people didn't they didn't they didn't control a little قطر من قطار الأرض of the land of the earth these people had lands and regions and peniciners right now which different countries are holding different countries are now governing part of those countries حارول الرشيد it was said he used to say he used to speak to the clouds and he would say to the cloud امطري to the cloud امطري هناك أو هناك go and rain over there all over there do as you wish فستخرج it will come out خراجك امطر ماء ساعد�� خراجك امطر ساعدك امطر امطر امطر امطر امطر فسيطن امطر امطر امطر ورشيد ورشيد كذلك when he died, what did he say? He said my proof and my evidence because when he died he lost everything and he realized that this is all gone now. Money and wealth goes, sometimes you're rich and you go everything and the other day you have nothing. So what did he say? My proof, everything I possessed I have nothing from it. What do you take from this dunya? A white shroud, that's all your own. Like some of the scholars when they done the Tafsir of the ayah وَلَا تَنْصَى نَصِيبَ كَمِنَا دُنْيَا Don't forget your portion and your nasib. Don't forget your nasib from this dunya meaning don't forget your portion of this dunya. Some of the scholars they said don't forget to attain money and work and do. Don't forget that. Don't become heedless and run to the deen only which is the أقوال of some of the مفاصرين but some said no. وَلَا تَنْصَى نَصِيبَ كَمِنَا دُنْيَا means don't forget your shroud. That's all your own from this dunya. That's really what you possess. That's really what's yours. Your whole money will only manage to buy you a shroud. That's all that's going to go in the grave with you. Everything else from your wealth is gone. It has turned its back on you. So the person look at this author. He says The one who has the seeker of high he has no hem seewahu besides knowledge. There's no other desires. He lives for this. This is all it means to him. Look at Al-Imamun-Nawawi. What did he possess from this dunya? Nothing. Rather he had no children. Never got married in his life. He had no children and no he had never got married. He had no children. He had no wealth. مع ذلك he was what? مشارقة الأرض ومغاربة. He's still mentioned. Generally speaking a person who's remembered is a person who has offspring and his children are passing on his name and his name is carrying on. And always his name is carrying on without no children. شيخه الإسلامي بنوتيميا his name is still being spoken about when he's what? Long gone. He didn't possess much money. He didn't have children. Never got married in his life. مع ذلك he's not forgotten. So the person who wants to really go to the top who has who's a seeker of a high level he has no other drive he has no drive in his life better than having knowledge. That's what's going to benefit you in your grave. Because look at the questions that you're going to be asked. Those questions are knowledge-based questions. No one's going to ask about money and children. You can be the most bankrupt person in this world if you want to. If you have knowledge you'll be able to answer those questions. إن شاء الله تعالى. ولا رغبة لهم في مطلوب عدا. ولا رغبة means they have no passion to seek anything besides it. في مطلوب العدا. مطلوب means to seek to sort what? عدا or anything besides knowledge. No, they don't. Whenever you see them running on the street they've got a book in their hand they're running to the street there's a حلقة going on they're going to a course they're leaving their sleep. Yeah? All of that they have no other drive except knowledge. The author then says وكي فلا. How can that not be the matter? How can somebody not have high aspirations as knowledge? How can somebody not be not be one who has passion in seeking knowledge How can he not be? وبيه تنال السعادة الدارين With it With it you will find the happiness of the two worlds this world and the world of the hereafter And دارين means what? دار الدنيا ودار الآخرة The happiness of this dunya and the happiness of the hereafter is connected to what? Look at it brothers A person who has knowledge today he doesn't sit with the rest of the people in a حلقة he's always higher than them Everybody's pointing fingers at him if he's a half of the كتاب الله Wherever he is even if he's dunya and knowledge ولي ذلك محمد الأمين الشقيطي who said من أرادة الدنيا فلا يتعلم Anyone who wants this dunya he should learn ومن أرادة الآخرة فلا يتعلم Anyone who wants the aakhرة he should learn it ومن أرادهما and anyone who wants both of them فلا يتعلم That's all If you want this dunya can I get a good job well paying job if I don't have knowledge see knowledge آخرة If I want it what do I need Knowledge الله says يرفع الله الذين آمنوا منكم الله raises ranks stations for what the one who has knowledge he's not with the rest of the people he's been taking ladders staircases ladders been given to him and said climb up climb up why علم علم has raised him في الدنيا in this world and also in the hereafter و لذلك الشيخ مغبل من هاد الواديع رحمه الله and said كان قليل he had very little he didn't possess a lot الشيخ مغبل very poor he has a book called دم المسألة don't ask people for nothing don't ask from the people he has a book called دمه المسألة شيخ مغبل من هاد الواديع he wrote a book called الجامع الصحيح من ما ليس في الصحيحين ناريشنس he wrote together that are authentic that are not in بخاري المسلم and plus he had no sons he only had daughters and as you know in the arab culture generally if a person doesn't have a son they somehow discredit him they say they look down at that person they do it's the cultural when that really isn't the case anyways the point being الشيخ مغبل من هاد الواديع he said this book of mine جامع الصحيح جامع الصحيح which I authored is better for me than if I was given nine boys my love for my جامع الصحيح that I authored that I wrote about is better for me if I was given nine sons الله أكبر the reason is because he knew that this is for him سعادة الدارين the happiness of this world when he used to say رحمه الله تعالى he was very poor very very poor very poor and when he wrote this book دمو المسألة was a time when Damaj it became it got hit by poverty poverty hit it so what he did was الشيخ مغبل رحمه الله he wrote this book don't ask these people started to call Europe those were from Europe those from America those were from Australia they started to call their people back home and said we need money send us money we're dying so he wrote a book دمو المسألة don't ask the people for nothing رحمه الله تعالى it was said that he used to say my hardship my stress in which I endure as soon as I open صحيح البخاري and I say حدثنا he said all of my stress and all of my pain and all of my distress he said it will leave me soon as I open the book and I say قال حدثنا why would he say that he realized عظمة العلم how great and how noble knowledge is and that is not a light matter if somebody today try to take knowledge from you swap it with you الدنيا وما فيها this dunya and everything in it is not equal to it and that's why عليبنا بطالب statement summarized it all what did he say he said enough to show you how great knowledge is is that the one who doesn't possess knowledge claims it is there anybody if I set him today you're a person of knowledge who wouldn't be happy everybody would like the idea of being a person of knowledge but would anybody here accept to be called an ignorant person even if he's ignorant would he like it that's enough to show you how low and how pathetic ignorance is and the one who's ignorant the sheikh says how can it not be something you seek how can you not make that your ultimate goal will be when it is what what you will gain the happiness of this dunya and hereafter وطيب العيشين and also the happiness of these two lives عيش means to live then the author goes on to saying هو شرف الوجود ونور الأغوار والنجود he said هو شرف الوجود knowledge is the honor of the most honorable thing that exists شرف الوجود the most honorable thing it's from the from the most honorable thing that's present عيشين الوجود that's present in this world today knowledge is from the greatest look at the person who graduates from the university are you there who's a doctor he puts his certificate six on the wall it's when the people come in they see the stars they see everything he shows the people he knows are you with me brothers it's the most honorable thing in this world ونور الأغوار والنجود and it is the light of الأغوار the word الأغوار it comes from the it's the جمع of غور it's the جمع of what غور غور means any place that's low the land that's low it's called غور in the Arabic language it is what it is it is the land it says the land that's low it's غور are you with me brothers ونور الأغوار والنجود صح ونور الأغوار جمع نجد are you with me the power for how this the author said it are you with me brothers and the power of his language let me explain this what he means it's the light of this world that's how he means it how does he mean it's the light of this world the world is if you divide it into two one part of the earth is what it's low it's down right and that's أرض تهامة in the Arabic land تهامة is a part that was low نجد is عراق نجد is عراق عراق is higher than تهامة جزيرة العرب and all of this it's low so when the author is trying to say here right now is it is the light of both worlds I mean the whole world it's what shines it حلية الأكابري ونزهة النواضري حلية means what it is that which adorns الأكابر أكابر here doesn't mean the one who's old in age it means the one who's high in caliber high and he's great in status and rank the word حلية it means زينتهم is what you are doing yourself and you beautify yourself and that's why the author رحمه الله الشيخ بكر من عبدالها بوزيد he called his book حلية حلية وطالب العلم that which the student of knowledge should adorn himself with beautify himself with the people whose caliber is high and their rank is high what is it that they beautify themselves with knowledge they don't beautify themselves with money it's the جهلا the ignorant ones who beautify themselves with knowledge they don't beautify themselves who beautify themselves with what money because money goes and and it leaves you it comes and it goes as for علم it stays with you and it remains with you as I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was it comes the more lighter it comes you and it's always found wherever you are because you're the person of knowledge right it doesn't depart from you it doesn't leave you the author says it is the people's caliber are high and the honorable people they beautify themselves with knowledge when نوسحة النواذر نوسحة means what it's the greenery نوسحة is the greenery and نواذري in which a person is looking at knowledge when you open the book and you read it's like a green greenery that's placed in front of you which your eyes just warmth and enjoyment that comes to you that's how it is for those people of of and whenever they see knowledge and they are looking at matters of knowledge it's like the greenery your heart you relax some people they go to the hills and the greener places and what do they do they enjoy themselves is من مال إليه نعم anyone who leans towards knowledge نعم blessings he feels he finds blessings من مال إليه نعم anybody who leans towards knowledge he will find happiness and bliss ومن جال به غنم and anyone who revolves around it جالا means what is to revolve يدور حولها anyone who keeps revolving around knowledge he with what غنم he will gain the expose of war غنم ومن ينقاد له سلم and anyone who submits to it submits to knowledge and gives into knowledge سلمة he will be safe he will be what that individual will be he will be safe لو كان سلعة تباعوا لبوذلت فيه الأموال العظام if knowledge was a product that was sold لبوذلت فيه الأموال العظام and a lot of money would be the price on it people would purchase it people would buy it on a high amount of price the money that it would be worth is very high لو كان سلعة if it was a product لبوذلت فيه الأموال wealth would be put in it and a great amount of money would be the price for it او صعد في السماء لسمت إليه نفوس الكرامي or if not if knowledge was placed up in the sky then those whose aspirations are high and serious and know the value of knowledge they would take a ladder they would try to go up to get it those people who is نفوس whose souls are high if knowledge was placed at a high place they would find a way to climb up in order to get it they won't give up
