 وأقول في القرآن ما جاءت به آياته فهو الكاريم المنزاله وأقول قال الله جل جلاله والمصطف الهدي ولا أتأواله إن الحمد لله نحمده ونستعينه ونستغفره ونعوذ بالله من شرور أنفسنا ومن سيئات عمالنا من يهديه الله فلا مضلله ومن يضلل فلا هاديله واشدوا الله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له واشدوا أن محمد عبده ورسوله يا أيها الذين آمنوا اتقوا الله حق تقاته ولا تموتن إلا وانتم مسلمون يا أيها الناس اتقوا ربكم الذي خلقكم من نفس واحدة وخلق منها زوجها وبث منهما رجالا كثيرا ونساء واتقوا الله الذي تساءلون به والأرحام إن الله كان عليكم رقيبا يا أيها الذين آمنوا اتقوا الله وقولوا قولا سديدا يصلح لكم أعمالكم ويغفل لكم ذنوبكم ومن يطع الله ورسوله فقد فاز فوزا عظيما أما بعد فإن أصدق الحديث كتاب الله تعالى وخير الهدي هدي محمد بن عبد الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وشر الأمر محدثاتها وكل محدثة بدعة وكل بدعة ضلالة My beloved brothers and sisters we were speaking about in our previous lesson on practical steps on how to attain knowledge, we spoke about the importance of understanding knowledge and having a correct perception of it, we also spoke about what it means هل يجب أن يكون لديه فهم اللدين اللي فهم اللدين اللي ومفتاحة تصور ومفتاحة تتحدث عن هذا إن شاء الله وطعالة تري سنذهب إلى وسائل المعينة يعني أنها ستساعدك يعني أنها ستساعدك لديك فهم اللدين لفهم اللدين as it should be understood to be a person whose perception of knowledge is accurate a person who is precise in the religion a person who is precise in knowledge that's what we're going to be إذن الله الكريم speak about it the way that we're going to break it down إن شاء الله وطعالة is إلى قسمان into two types we're going to break it into what into two types the first insha'Allah وطعالة is what we're going to speak about today and tomorrow إذن الله الكريم tomorrow we're going to speak about the last the last points insha'Allah وطعالة the first one is صفات ينبغي characteristics that are required characteristics that are required أن يتحل بها طالب العلم characteristics that are required from a student of knowledge to adorn himself with if he wants to attain if he wants to attain correct understanding of knowledge if you want to understand if you want to have the understanding that we were speaking about فهموا الصحيح the correct understanding if you want to have التصور الصحيح if you want to have a a correct perception if you want to be precise and accurate the characteristics that you need to adorn yourself with we're going to speak about that إن شاء الله إن شاء الله وطعالة the second part that we're going to leave for tomorrow is going to be المنهجية العملية which is practical methodology that a student of knowledge needs to take and there إذن الله الكريم we'll speak about practical things that a student of knowledge needs to do and this is going to be the most deepest the last one is why we chose this whole lecture which is المنهجية في طالب العلم the methodology of how to attain knowledge so a person can have a fahm of the religion of Allah وطعالة and that the person can have التصور الصحيح and as we mentioned as we mentioned last lesson as we mentioned that when the person has a correct understanding and the perception is correct we said that the person the person's rulings that they pass the person's rulings that they pass the judgements that they pass the fatwa that come from them is going to be what it's going to be accurate or most if I might say my statement correctly the person will not be one who contradict himself because we don't believe that however much you reach a knowledge and however precise that you gain in knowledge we're not ever going to say that you have اسمه من الزلال that you're infallible from mistakes that you won't do a mistake because that's not possible شيخه الإسلام ابنه تيميه he said قل عظيم في الأمة إلا وله زلال ابنه تيميه said it's little that an honorable person a person of great status a person of great level he said قل العظيم في الأمة somebody is very high in the umma it's very little إلا وله زلال except that he has a what has a mistake with him he has a what he has a mistake with him but what we mean here is that the person will not be contradicting himself he will not contradict himself what will he have with him the person will have with themselves consistency of what they're saying you don't see that contradiction in them and that's what benefits you when you attain knowledge based upon what based upon قواعد and أصول when you learn it based on fundamentals and principles you'll be a consistent person in your verdicts you'll be consistent in your what in your observation of the of the religion so let's go to the first one which is صفات characteristics ينبغ أي تحلاب أي تحلابها الراغب في طالب العلم a person who has passion for knowledge who wants to attain knowledge the characteristics that he or she should come with the first of them brothers and sisters is صفات الإخواص sincerity the person needs to come with what the person needs to come with the characteristics of what sincerity the person has to be sincere بأن يكون الإنسان مخلص لله عز وجل that the person is sincere for Allah سبحانه وتعالى في طلبه للعلم when trying to attain knowledge this person is doing it for Allah alone سبحانه وتعالى and that person is striving for what to choose to truly understand when you're striving to understand knowledge and you want to have that correct perception you're doing it for Allah don't do it for what don't do it for حضن دنياويا don't do it for worldly gain which is عاجلا that will come and then go but do it for who الله سبحانه وتعالى and brothers and sisters they only want to ask you when they want to seek knowledge or I want to take notes or what books should I read but they really forget that there are characteristics that you don't come with knowledge will not come your way knowledge will not come your way and you won't attain knowledge the first of them is sincerity اخلاس that you're doing this for who you're doing it for Allah سبحانه وتعالى كعم ابن ماليكين رضي الله وتعالى عنه he said that the Prophet ﷺ has said or he said I heard the messenger ﷺ منطلب العلم anyone who goes out to seek knowledge this person is going out and his purpose in seeking knowledge is this person is competing with the scholars in other words he is a person who wants to belittle and degrade the scholars by attaining this knowledge he wants to say to the you see he didn't know this that's his aim and objective in learning knowledge or this person he just wants to argue he just wants to debate with the dimwitted ones or he wants to also put them down or he wants to show that he has somehow a level and a status over the people يصرف به وجوه الناس إليه or his aim and objective in attaining knowledge is so that he can divert the people's attention towards himself he wants to be the focus point he wants to have the spotlight on himself يصرف به وجوه الناس he wants the people's faces to be directed at him ادخله الله النار الله سبحانه و تعالى when entered that person into the house يا رمام الترميدي رحمه الله he narrated that in his Sunan و لذلك the self they used to say من كان لله داما anything that is done for Allah's sake it will continuously go on the scholars used to say this if something brothers and sisters is done for the sake of Allah ما كان لله داما anything that is done for the sake of Allah it will stay forever what tasala and it will be continuous if somebody does something for the sake of Allah داما it will be going on forever and that person will be continuous and it will carry on و ما كان لغير الله but if something was done for other than Allah تبارك و تعالى a sake in قطع then that person that thing will disconnect that thing with what it will come to an end one فصل you will not see carry on if you are aim and objective in seeking knowledge so that people can praise you if you don't find that praise when you start seeking knowledge what will happen to you because that's why you did it that's why you went there to seek knowledge so if you don't get that praise that you were looking for and people don't notice you for the first year you will try to push yourself still but then when the year goes by because you're not getting what you went in for you'll start to what you'll start to move away from seeking knowledge if the person started to seek knowledge so he can find a woman so he can marry his aim is to say to her look at the pen in my pocket do you see and say key terms يعني طيب so he comes across as a stool of knowledge a year or two when he still stays in knowledge and no one comes around and no one recognizes his pencil and pen then this person what will happen to him and قطع one فصل he will stop seeking knowledge he will stop trying to gain knowledge and so you see him back on the streets again but when something is done for Allah then there's no ending to it there's no ending to it it will carry on that's why the scholars they said مَا كَانَ لِلَّا هِدَامَ وَا تَصَلْ وَمَا كَانَ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِنْ قَطعُ وَالْفَصَلْ anything that is done for Allah تَبَارَكُ وَتَعَالَى سَيْكِ it will carry on forever and it will be continuous but anything that is done for other than Allah's sake you see that thing will stop it will not carry on anymore and many have come into this spectrum or this idea of wanting to be a student of knowledge but the reality of it is what is that their hearts are on a different valley عبد الله بن المبارك he said he said the first thing in seeking knowledge is intention now that's the first thing the first thing in seeking knowledge is that the person cleans their intention their heart that this is for Allah's sake that you want to get closer to him سبحانه وتعالى the second he said is ثم استماع the second reason why you are trying to attain knowledge is that you want to listen the third he said ثم الفهمه to understand it ثم الحفظه to memorize it ثم العمله to implement it ثم نشره and then to spread the knowledge you attained عبد الله بن المبارك he said that these are the levels and the stages that a person comes with the first one is أول العلم and نية the first thing of knowledge is intention that this you are doing you are doing it what with good intention نية حسنة you have a good intention for this تبتغيب من ذلك واجه الله you are trying to attain from this to face of Allah سبحانه وتعالى ثم الاستماع then you want to listen ثم الفهمه then you want to understand ثم الحفظ then you want to memorize ثم العمل and then you want to implement it ثم نشره and then you want to you want to spread the knowledge that you have attained and as I said to you before the intention of seeking knowledge it has been it has been summarized in the following couple of lines فلتقصدوا أربعة قبل ابتداء تعلم لكي تفوز بالهداء أولها الخروج من ضلالي والثاني نفع خلق الدلجلالي والثاني ثم حياء للعلوم والرابع العمالي للمعلومي the first he said فلتقصدوا أربعة قبل ابتداء intend فلتقصدوا intend أربعة فوق قبل ابتداء before you start seeking knowledge have these intention in your heart these four things تعلم لكي تفوز بالهداء learn so you can find success when you are trying if you want to attain through your knowledge success then have these four things brothers intend these four things أولها الخروج من ضلالي the first one is to take yourself out of misguidance أولها الخروج من ضلالي the first intention that you are coming with is I no longer want to be a misguided person I do not want to be in the darkness of ignorance أولها الخروج من ضلالي the first reason why you are trying to attain knowledge is to take yourself out of ignorance والثاني نفع خلق الدلجلالي the second one is to benefit the people around you those who are around you والثاني نفع خلق الدلجلالي the creation of Allah is what you want to benefit والثاني والثاني you want to revive the knowledge again you want to bring that knowledge back to life again that's what you want to do this knowledge has been stopped people are not seeking this type of knowledge anymore people have now spent their time قيلة وقال كلام you are now going back to what you are going back to what people find heavy and they don't want to go towards people don't like studying مواريث علم المواريث علم المواريث so what do you do you go and study it you give life to it again people have chosen not to study it because it's complicated it's hard do I really need it is it my day to day need beyond that والثاني that was the third right and the fourth one is is to implement the knowledge you've attained those are the four intentions in which you're trying to gain knowledge for so when the scholars they say come with intention to seek knowledge they mean these are the four intentions that you have to come with these are the four intentions that you and I should come with when we want to attain knowledge الامام أحمد رحمه الله he said أحمد ابن حمبل الامام أهل السنة said this he said أحمد said nothing is equal to knowledge لمن صحت نيتو if a person's intention is correct أحمد رحمه الله ليما محمد رحمه الله رحمة واسعة he said nothing is equivalent to knowledge nothing is like knowledge but for what لمن صحت نيتو for who lakin the one whose intentions is correct then the people they said قالوا كيف تصحرنية يا أبي عبد الله أو عبي عبد الله how can a person how can they correct their intention what is it that they need to do to correct their intention and then he said that the person he intends to uplift from himself to remove from himself ignorance first of all when you're learning you're not learning this knowledge so you can use it in the eyes of others and say this حديث applies on you I found this حديث against you you don't learn it for that reason the first reason why you're learning knowledge is that you want to uplift from yourself ignorance you're sick and tired of being ignorant you're sick and tired of being told this is حلال this is حراب you want to know that for yourself the first is what أنفسه that you want to remove ignorance from yourself وعن غيره and then you start thinking about the community and the people you're from you start to want to remove the ignorance from those who are around you Ahmed said that's the intention that's why the person is seeking knowledge and why they try to attain it ألمام الشافعي ورحمة الله to show you the seriousness of knowledge and the intention that a person should have the إخلاص and how even the person shouldn't just have sincerity when they're trying to seek knowledge and try to understand knowledge but even when the person is teaching knowledge that the intention still doesn't go ألمام الشافعي ألمام الشافعي محمد بن إدرس الشافعي he said وديت to I wish وديت to I wish أن الناس تعلموا العلمة that the people they gain knowledge شافعي say this I wish that the people attain knowledge I wish that the people gain knowledge ولم يوصب إليه شيء منه and no knowledge was attributed to me nothing was attributed to Shafi'a I wish that this knowledge came to the people and that the people sought this knowledge but nothing was attributed to me but the reason why Ahmed Shafi'a he has to bring his name out there is that Islam is taken from those who are what rulings and Ahkab are taken from those who are known is taken from someone who is known شافعي رحمه الله he has to be a Senate, a chain for us in this matter so that's why his name has to be mentioned but he said I wish like him that the people they attain knowledge and they became people of knowledge and knowledge came to them pure clean knowledge could come to them and I Shafi'a have no part to play in this my name being mentioned of course I want the reward of course he wants the reward but he does not want رحمه الله his name being said Shafi'a he said he wants to be hidden because what الله سبحانه وتعالى he loves العبد الخافية الله loves the slave who is what خافي hidden and he is pious no one knows of him the more you are hidden the more sincere you are ولدانيك if you look at the actions the ones that are most beloved to Allah those are those which are hidden the slave that's given the shade the day of judgment is a what عبدٌ ذكر الله خالياً ففاضت عينة a person who remembered Allah in private and his eyes just watered why not public because privacy إبن القيم says privacy when you're alone and you're private and no one is with you the tears that come out of you are most accurate most likely to be sincere that when they come from you and you're by yourself those tears that come from you are strongest in sincerity so the reward is the highest so that's why ألمام الشفعيو said that statement إبن جماعة ألمام جماعة رحمه الله he said حصن نيتي في طالب العلمي إبن جماعة رحمه الله he said in his kitab كرة السامع والمتكلم في أدب العلم والمتعلم في بيجتات فائفه سن حصن النية في طالب العلمي بأن يقصد به وجه الله تعالى والعمل به وتنوير قلبه وتجلية باطنه والقرب من الله تعالى يوم القيامة والتعرض لما أعد لأهله من رضوانه وعظيم فضله he said حصن النية في طالب العلمي good intention in seeking knowledge بأن يقصد is that the person intends وجه الله الله سبحانه وتعالى why did you come today why are you sitting here for the sake of الله سبحانه وتعالى والعمل به and you came to implement that knowledge you want to go home today and take with you matters which you have to implement matters that you have to do today I've got things I have to start implementing into my life that I never used to do that's what you're seeking knowledge also the reason is what وتنوير قلبه you want to bring light to your heart that's what the intention is here ابن جماعة says that you bring light to your heart وتجلية باطنه and that you also what you cleanse your heart you enlighten your heart as well والقرب من الله تعالى and your intent is to get closer to Allah the intent for this is I want to get closer to you الله تبارك وتعالى يوم القيامة في the day of judgment والتعرض لما عدري آله and that you can also be given while Allah has promised سبحانه وتعالى for those who have what for his people the people of jannah where he is prepared for them so you can gain some proportion of that من رضوانه that he becomes pleased with you that you also gain from him a great virtue that's what your intention is we're now going to go into the second characteristics that a student of knowledge needs to adorn himself if he wants to attain knowledge and that is اصدق فيطالب اصدق فيطالب what does اصدق فيطالب mean اصدق فيطالب it means it means that the person is truthful in seeking knowledge what does this mean it means that when you're seeking knowledge that you don't associate partners in knowledge you do not associate partners with knowledge when you're seeking knowledge you leave your whole time and your whole life for this you live for this if you sleep if you're going to sleep the reason why you're going to sleep is because you're going to if you're going to sleep the reason why you're going to sleep is so you can energize yourself so you can attain more knowledge your whole life it revolves around what knowledge you know your salary that you gain the money that you get from your salary the money that you get this month what is it towards what is that money towards the books that إن شاء الله تعالى that you want to buy you've got a list of books your whole life everything for it is what it's seeking knowledge knowledge does not accept associate partners with it it doesn't allow it ولذلك ابن القيم رحمه الله he speaks about the difference between أصدق وإخلاص he says that the difference between أصدق and إخلاص رحمه الله ابن القيم says that إخلاص goes towards the مطلب who are you doing this action for you're doing it for Allah alone so you're singling الله in what in this action that you're doing for you're only doing it for him سبحانه وتعالى لكن أصدق في الطلب means you're not associate partners with nothing in knowledge that you're not doing anything on the side you got a full time job and you work 9 to 5 and then what are you doing on the side Saturday Sunday شاء الله تعالى there's classes that are done in this message so I'm coming شاء الله تعالى you know when I get free time definitely I'll come around هكذا you know what these do you have classes here these days I'll squeeze it in that person is not going to attain knowledge the most that we can say he will attain is ثقافة عامة I just have a general understanding about this here there's a man called أحمد ابن أحمد he existed okay he will have ثقافة عامة that's what being a طالب علم a student of knowledge knowledge doesn't allow that it won't work like that the person has to be what has to be truthful to knowledge ولذلك the Prophet ﷺ has said in the hadith to one of the one of the men that took Islam the Prophet ﷺ he said to him إن تصدق إن تصدق الله if you're truthful to Allah and you're doing this for Allah you're truthful in this matter الله سبحانه وتعالى He will bring you on the upper hand He will give you what you're trying to attain if what you're doing you're truthful about it Allah will give you سبحانه وتعالى and also the Prophet ﷺ on another interpanion another man that took Islam he said صدق الله this man was truthful to Allah فصدقه الله سبحانه وتعالى gave him what he wanted Allah gave him سبحانه وتعالى يا إخوة الكلام المعرفة لا تستطيع أي إسوشيات ماذا يحتاج منك؟ يحتاج منك يحتاج منك يحتاج منك أنك تفعله فقط سبحانه وتعالى أنت لا تجعل المعرفة في الفضولي من الوقت الوقت where you don't have nothing to do you know what I have nothing to do I might as well just go to the class you don't make it at those times rather what you make knowledge is عامة وقتك the overwhelming majority of your time is seeking knowledge والبحث فيه and researching knowledge يا إخوة علمة الغزير this knowledge is a lot and it's also عزيز it requires effort and hard work the person will not يا إخوة الكلام he will not gain knowledge until knowledge when it sees from you that you're giving the most valuable thing to it when it sees from you that you're giving يبدول الله أن فاسأ وقاتي that the person is giving the best times all of it, exerting everything into it then knowledge will give you something in return busy yourself with politics I'm just following news all day what did Al-Jazeera say today okay Ajeeb, okay PBC and also following what's the like saying, what's the currency today and etc or following other matters for all this and that all of these matters or even كثرة الخروج excessively going out too much to gatherings sitting with friends and eating out too much all of that knowledge doesn't accept that it doesn't allow that, it doesn't like that all of these are reasons why a person loses out in truly understanding what knowledge is فهم العلم you lose out because of this you lose out because of that and your perception becomes very weak knowledge reads from you يا إخوة it needs the most precious time that you could have times when you're sick, times when you give up it requires that from you in order to get somewhere with it أصفة الثالثة the third characteristic that the student of knowledge needs to adorn himself with is high aspiration والصبع على ما يناله طالب العلم من مشقة في طلبه high aspiration and patience in the hardship that you endure when trying to attain knowledge يا إخوة, your aspiration is too high you have a what you have a high aspiration the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said sorry, الله سبحانه وتعالى الله عز وجل يا أيها الذين آمنوا اصبروا وصابرو ورابطوا واتقوا الله هل عليكم تفلحون آية 200 in سورة ألع عمران وين تأسطوا في هذا المكان وين تأسطوا في هذا المكان الله سيز يا أيها الذين آمنوا those of you who believe سبروا وصابرو واتقوا الله and then after Allah gave us the result of when you come with this form so Allah called the believers what did he say to them يا أيها الذين آمنوا those of you who believe سبروا واتقوا الله what will happen لعلكم تفلحون you will attain success when these four things are found in you you will attain success go to this ayah and read up it what are those four things try to understand those four things because is that what you are trying to look for everyone wants to find success they want to what find success عبد عزيز من الباز ادعي من الدعات اي كولا to Islam a propagator of Islam came to him one time عبد عزيز من الباز I've given up I've been calling to Allah سبحانه وتعالى and now I just don't see where he's going he was sad and stressed and Imam عبد عزيز من الباز he grabbed him by the hand he grabbed him by the hand and he said to him يا أيها الذين آمنوا سبروا ورابطوا يا أيها الذين آمنوا سبروا وصابرو ورابطوا سبحانه وتعالى هل تأتي with these four في عدف الله to give you success سبحانه وتعالى because if he says yes I did and you want to be coming here to complain because one of them is what to be patient one of them is what to have patience and to what endure the pain that comes with things if you come with those you'll find success and then a person brother brothers and sisters a person who wants to truly gain knowledge can only gain knowledge through patience and endurance to go through a lot you won't just come knowledge won't just throw itself at you it wants from you excessive patience to really really really be patient with it ولي ذلك عبدالله ابن عباس tells a story about himself pay attention to this who's better to take than the noble companion عبدالله ابن عباس the prophet's cousin brothers I ask you guys a question when ابن عباس was born how was his situation ابن عباس the minute he was born the first thing that went into his mouth was who's saliva other than his own which one was it the prophet ﷺ عبدالله ابن عباس his saliva came into contact with the prophet his mother didn't give him anything she waited until the morning she took a piece of she took it to the prophet ﷺ and the prophet ran through his mouth a piece of date and then he rubbed it on the mouth of who عبدالله ابن عباس عبدالله ابن عباس has the prophet ﷺ saliva going to his mouth the second thing that he has attained is what the dua of the prophet ﷺ نبي الله محمد whose dua is mustajaba of course is a lot is his dua not accepted the prophet not say to عبدالله ابن عباس اللهم فقه في الدين وعلمه تأويلة عبدالله ابن عباس have understanding of the religion and Allah make him know the interpretation of the Qur'an didn't the prophet not say that for him but did that make ابن عباس say you know what subhanallah knowledge is going to come to me did all of those factors that were in support of him did they make ابن عباس say to himself you know what I don't really think I have to go out there and seek knowledge you know what عبدالله ابن عباس knew that he had to still take the asbab the means so look what he did listen to the story عبدالله ابن عباس he went to a man from the people of Ansar and these teachers are something very powerful which is when you seek knowledge it's good to have a companion somebody who's got a vision like you if you realize they don't then just get rid of them don't let them drag you along but find a person you can take this path with so what did he do he went to the Ansari man عبدالله ابن عباس he went to him so and so فلنسأل أصحاب النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم let's go to the companions of the prophet let's start asking them questions let's take knowledge فلنسأل means let's take knowledge from them عبدالله ابن عباس say this the amazing thing is that this man I spent time to find out who he is no way as he mentioned when the person doesn't embark on he doesn't get mentioned ابن عباس is known though so what did he do ابن عباس said come let's go and seek knowledge from the companions عبوبة كريزة life عمارة is a life the noble companions are alive today the Sahabas are a lot they are vast in number just like today we can say we have some scholars amongst us these scholars are going to die a lot of them are very old in age 60 70 they are very old fragile they will come a time when you see them not alive anymore so opportunity will miss you opportunity will go maybe you will never see them the people you see today that are able to facilitate seeking knowledge and attaining knowledge they might come a day that you won't be able to see them they might die or you will no longer see that opportunity where that derus is just given like that to you the companions said they are a lot in number فقال وعجب اللك يبدع عباس the man said amazement be with you ابن عباس اطار الناس said do you see that the people are going to be in need of you do you really think that the people are going to reach a point where they need you ابن عباس so this man didn't have a higher aspiration like ابن عباس they didn't he said are people going to need you when Abu Bakr عُمَر عُثْمَان عبد الله يبن عُمَر عبد الله يبن المسرود they are older than you in age and they are what senior than you and they are more knowledgeable than you عبد الله عباس was only 13 when the prophet died do you think the people are going to reach a point in their life where they are going to have to sit with you and take knowledge from you عبد الله عباس did not even he didn't even look at that and say you know what I need to stop seeking knowledge maybe it's not for me and didn't shake why because he had high aspiration he had what he had high aspiration brothers I tell you this all the time the person who has high aspiration and who has a big goal in his life his body suffers due to it because of his heart and the mission that he has in life his body can't keep up with the type of mind that this person has so they are just they are striving they are putting so much effort and hard work in their life so he said to him do you think the people are going to need you or for the people are those who you see Abu Bakr these are alive do you think people are going to need you عبد الله عباس said I went فتركت فتركت ذلك عباس what he said gave no importance to that he said I accepted I went out and I started asking questions as I would do look how عبد الله عباس was so patient رضي الله تعالى عنه is an example in this اليمام الخطيب البيض دادي روطه بك الرحلة في طالب العلم and he started with عبد الله عباس going out to seek knowledge look what عبد الله عباس did for a whole year he was trying to find the opportunity to ask a question to who عمر رضي الله عنه one year he was going around finding that opportunity to ask him and the only time that he got the opportunity was when عمر رضي الله عنه when he was doing call of nature عبد الله عباس got the water ready for him and he was giving it to him and he said I have a question to ask you what's the question that you have عبد الله عباس I've been wanting to ask you this question for a year and then he said to him why didn't you ask me عمر رضي الله عنه this type of respect that people couldn't just randomly come up to him and grab him and talk to him and do what they want that حيبة that عمر رضي الله عنه and then he wanted to know the ayah انت توبا الى الله فقد صغت قلوبكما هو انت توبا عا هو انت توبا عا so عمر رضي الله عنه لك تأدي مع عباس and he said to him واعجبا لك يا بن عباس you're an amazing person انها حفصة عائشة the ayah is talking about Hafsah and aisha the reason why عمر said that was عمر knew the caliber of بن عباس in the ayat of the Quran how young he was but how old he also was as the poet said وَكَنْ مِنْ صَغِيرِ الَّحَانَتْ عِلَا يَتُمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ فَحْتَاجَتْ إِلَيْهِ الْاكَابِرُو how many people are young in age but Allah has made this person reach a point where even the elders have become in need of him Allah has bestowed that Masih onto him فَحْتَاجَتْ إِلَيْهِ الْاكَابِرُو the elders have now felt the need to come to him and go down to him عباس before 20 عباس was sitting and he was gathering he was sitting with the senior companions why brothers لماذا because he didn't listen to the Ansari man and the high aspiration he didn't take what he said and he was allowed to sit in the assembly of umar you know what the assembly of umar is عمر يا اخوة is conquering countries after countries continents, lands like sitting in the house of common he is sitting with umar where only people are going to sit there if you think this is the legend this is the real legend and this is the real heya لا يا اخوة we will together brothers عمر رضي الله عنه مع ذلك heya you can't sit there unless you have great knowledge and legend they are foobala صح at the age of peas he was sitting with عبدالله عباس عبدالله عباس عباس this is the question you need to ask yourself it's because of his knowledge it's because of what he knew he had to be brought in the gathering عبدالله عباس said I dismissed what the Ansari man said I went out to seek knowledge فإن كان لا يبلوني he said it will sometimes reach me الحريث ع الرجل a hadith will reach me regarding a man I would hear that a companion has a hadith فأتي I would go to him look at the etiquette of this noble companion he knows he wants to learn so he would go العلم يوتى ولا يأتي knowledge is something that you go towards you have to travel he is the prophet's cousin he can say I'm the person who the prophet first gave food to I have the dua of the prophet you come to me and teach me this العلم يوتى ولا يأتي you have to go out of your way to seek knowledge not that knowledge would come to you people want that knowledge to come to them the whole method and the whole way is all wrong هو قائل فأتسود ردائي على بابه عبدالله عباس عبدالله عباس I would then go what I would lie down in front of that person's place waiting for him to come out of his apartment to come out where he is in and I do what so I can ask him questions and I cover my face because of the wind the dust is going in people's faces and eyes he said I'm sitting there waiting for him to come out فيخرج يأخوا there's no air conditioner there's nothing like that in that hot burning sun he's sitting outside waiting for this companion to come out فيخرج the person would come out so he would see me so he would say to me يبنى عمه رسول الله this is the honor he has this is the honor he has he has the haqq of qarab and the prophet's family none of that would get in عبدالله عباس his way he wants knowledge he's hungry for knowledge he's not arrogant so he said he would go يبنى عمه رسول الله what is it that brought you and then he would say to him ألا أرسلت إليه فأاتيك why didn't you send somebody and tell them that you need me and I will come to you عباس why do you have to come to me so I would say to him أنا أحق أن أاتيك I'm more rightful to come to you I should be the one that comes to you فأسأله عن الحديث قال فا يبقى الرجل حتى رأى لي وقد اجتمع عن الناس وعليه he said time went on I kept going to one companion's house and another one and going and asking and taking knowledge from them until one day I had a gathering and I was teaching and the Ansari man saw me the one who said to me what do you think the people are going to be in need of you the one that said to me him do you think that the people are going to need you and that the people are going to one day want to sit with you that they're not they're going to reach a point where they want to sit with you he saw me that man saw me he saw me وقد يتشمع الناس وعليه and the people were gathered in front of me I was teaching them فقاله he said to me كان هذا الفتا أعقل مني this boy was truly smarter than I was this boy was truly smarter than I was عبد الله بن عباس the day of Arafa he stood up and he explained صورة النور the narrators of the hadith they said لو رأى لو سميعه الروم والفرص if the Romans and the Pajas were to hear it they would have all taken Islam تفسيرا an explanation that he put on those ayat and the knowledge that was coming out of him بن عباس a man who Allah gave him all of that but where did that come from brothers it came from him high aspirations and he was very patient in the hardship in the hardship that he went through من مشقة في طلبه as soon as you see a bit of hardship and don't give up it's part of what knowledge is rather when it becomes the more harder it gets then you're doing it right if you're finding comfort in seeking knowledge and you're enjoying yourself then something's wrong ولذلك المسلم that المسلم he said knowledge is not attained with a relaxed body فالعلم بالتعلم knowledge is attained by putting effort ولحلم بالتحلم فور برنس is not attained except exerting effort to get it ومن صبرا صدره الله and the person who comes with patience الله who giving patience remember this just like water and fire can't be together just like dark and light cannot be together relaxation comfort and seeking knowledge cannot be together they are the two opposite if you're trying to attain them both at the same time then you're looking for the impossible memorize that you're trying to look for the impossible they can't come together both of them yes بلا بدا من تعب البدا the body has to really suffer it has to look at what شعبي will set him عمر ابنو شراحي للشعبي شعبي اينا لك هذا اينا لك هذا العلم كله where did you attain all of this knowledge from شعبي يا عالم من افاضل التابعين you're from the virtuous one of the most noble righteous ones where did you gain all of this knowledge from look what he said he said he said I stayed away from reliance okay when he says I don't rely he means I don't rely on myself I rely on Allah I knew that I couldn't gain this I gave my affairs to him سبحانه وتعالى and also what came fuller on it is I didn't rely on others if he didn't rely on himself then he didn't rely on others as well he relied on who الله سبحانه وتعالى but the nusqa of ابن عساك للنسخة it doesn't say the word if it says يلغتمام and if it says يلغتمام the meaning would be staying away from stress that which a person would go through he said I wouldn't stress myself out every little thing that I see I'll dismiss it I'm always working on what being نشير طيب الناس making sure that I'm enthusiastic I wouldn't let little unnecessary things that come on the side get in my way and blur everything for me but this one the most common one in books is staying away from reliance what else was traveling on the earth the second reason I attained knowledge is I traveled I traveled the world some people come up to me and say I think I want to go Egypt and seek knowledge your own local area there are stools going on there's a hive of Quran going on there's things happening in your local area you don't go to it do you really think that when you go to another country you're going to learn when they used to say we traveled to other countries they first of all would take the knowledge of their city and their country and when they realized there's no one to take from then they would travel this idea of I'm going to travel and when I go to that country when you weren't able to do it in the place that you're at then definitely you're not going to do it when you leave this country you're just going to be who you are when you go to the other country the second reason why I gained my knowledge is I traveled I traveled the world وصبر كصبر الحمار I was patient like the donkey's patient look at the paid donkey he carries the whole people's stuff everything is put on him he said I was like that صبر كصبر الحمار like the donkey وبكور and I was also early just like the crow leaves in the early morning a person who is early you're a student of knowledge and you're sleeping all through the morning طالب علم is an early person some people say to me why is this class at 7 o'clock brother can you just push it to 9 o'clock he goes to seek knowledge أصلي is that وبكور the morning is what he is seeking knowledge ألمان مالك رحمه الله he said ألمان مالك he said this matter knowledge is not attained حتى يداقى فيه طعم الفقر until you taste the bitterness of poverty unless you taste poverty hunger and you reach a point where you have nothing to eat الله here I remember subhan Allah reading some of the hunger that the scholars went through سفيان الثوري وكعمل جراحر رؤاسي came to him and sofian was so hungry so so hungry that sofian couldn't shake وكعمل جراحر رؤاسي his hand properly the hunger that he reached and so he was lying down and he just grabbed the طرف of his أصابع just from fingers of his and he shook it like that and he threw himself back وكير didn't realize and he just left then sofian رحمه الله came into contact with وكير before after that and he said to him بلي علم that you deserve from me he said I was very hungry I have nothing to eat but now, insha'Allah, my energy is back هذا كان أهل العلم العلم أن أهل العلم they hung out and reached out look at sofian the theory he didn't ask for a cake to give him food مع دالي كلاك مع دالي because when you become hungry you become what? moody when the president becomes hungry they lose their waaat فهي أخلاق أن أصبح مودي فهي تصبح مودي فهي تصبح مودي فهي always angry, complaining and whatnot فهي the same with what? when the person is hungry so that's why he said but look how hungry he was رحمه الله أهل العلم books have been written on that the scholars and the hunger and the suffering and the fucker how they were رحمه الله جميعا ألمام الشافعيو he said فحقوا على طلبة العلم بلو غاية جهدهم في الاستكتار من علمه والصبر على كل عرض دون طلبه وإخلاق سبنية لله في استدراك علمه نصنه استباطن ونغبطه إلى الله في العوني عليه that the student of knowledge in order to attain his goal that he's looking for he has to exert every effort that he has every effort that he has he has to exert it in order to attain that goal you're looking for which is to increase your suffering knowledge to everything that you have went through it look what he said after that وصبروا على كل عرض دون طلبه every obstacle that is thrown at you every hardship that comes your way that you show patience you show patience you show endurance وإخلاق سبنية لله أنه يوصنسف الله تعالى في استدراك علمه نصنه استباطن ونغبطه إلى الله في العوني عليه that you have sincerity in extracting these evidences the Quran and the Sunnah and its rulings you have evidence and the passion to Allah تعالى that he helps you and aids you in this matter والله his brothers sit down and read the story of the Ulama in their patience and seeking knowledge how they spent and what they did رحمه الله جميعا the wealth that they put into it books have been written in that regard أبو يوسف who is a student of أبو حنيفة رحمه الله he said العلم شيء لا يعطي لا يعطيك بعضا حتى تعطيه كلك يوسف القاضي صاحب أبو حنيفة he said علمه شيء that will not give you anything it will not give you sorry علمه شيء that will not give you something until you give everything علم is one of the things that it will not give you something in return unless you give everything you will never be given all of knowledge ever then the one who ولا يحيطونه بشيء من علمه no one can encompass knowledge of Allah no one can have full knowledge complete knowledge as Allah said in the Quran وفوقا وفوقا كل علم العلم above every person who has knowledge there is one who is more knowledgeable so even if you are the most knowledgeable person on the face of this earth and Allah is more knowledgeable than you there are things that you still don't know there are things that are hidden from you but what knowledge will do is that if you want knowledge to give you something in return this is all you want from knowledge you don't want everything from it is that you need to give everything and if you don't give everything it doesn't give you anything at all it doesn't give you it doesn't give you anything and as I said to you before brothers if you don't have high aspiration and you don't have patience seeking knowledge you're not going to take from knowledge except what ثقافة عمه you're just going to have an overview of knowledge it matters here or there that's what you're going to have as for تقصين تقعيد to be grounded and to be rooted like that and to have تماكن in علم you're مشاء الله you're a solid student of knowledge that only comes from what a person with high aspiration and a person with patience and if you want more of this matter brothers and you want to look more into it then go to the books of عداب الطلب the books that talk about the etiquettes of student of knowledge and also try my brothers to read تراجم العلمة the biography of the scholars كتاب سير علام النبلاء try to read the كتاب of الإمام ذهبي which I mentioned سير علام النبلاء try to sit down and read that book they'll give you الابنو كثير رحم الله كتاب البداية والنهاية and also the books that have the تراجم that are specifically for some of the علماء that are written try to buy those books that talk about ابنو تيمينا's life or ابنو قيب's life all these علماء try to take time to read them فإنها تشود الهيمم because that will push your aspiration even more when you look at a person doing this صفة الرابع the fourth brothers is العمل بالعلمة implementing the knowledge implementing the knowledge is an aspirate it's a characteristic that a student of knowledge needs to adorn himself with that the person the knowledge that he's gaining he's implementing as he gets it he's what he's implementing it and brothers and sisters implementing the knowledge that you have is from what من أعظم ما يثبت العلم is one of the things that solidify knowledge into your heart when you start implementing it ولذلك ألمان الشعبي رحمه الله who mentioned before he said كنا نستعينه على حفظ الحديث بالعمل به the way that we used to the the methods and the tools in which we used to take in order to memorize the حديث was by implementing it implementing it was one of the means of making sure that we keep that that حديث with us but like some people today when you say to a brother do you know the دعاء الهستفتاح for the salah read it some people will say give me a second they will stand up and pretend to pray some people will do that and they will read it when they get into that position they know it you see how when you implement something you can do it you can say it he said to Allah when I'm in that position it comes it just naturally comes from me but when I go outside I can't say it now if you ask me I need to think but when I'm in that moment and I'm starting my prayer and I need to make the دعاء it comes out fluently and it comes out it rolls off my tongue and that's true it's صحي the reason is because what you implement will stick with you what you stop implementing will go if you don't implement something it will go that knowledge will be taken from you و لذلك حافظ ابن صلاح رحمه الله he narrated he said we narrated from وكير من جررح he brings this chain to وكير من جررح الرؤاسي that he said إذا أردت أن تحفظ الحديث if you want to memorize a حديث فعمل بي implement it implementing it is what you need to do الصفة الخامسة the fifth characteristic that a person needs to adorn himself with is that عدا مستعجالي بطالب النتائج والثمار that the person he does not become hasty to see the results and that you don't want to you don't hasten sorry to see the efforts of your labor quickly don't hasten to that a person comes up to you okay and a week or three months yeah he come up to your city والله أخي I don't know if I'm seeking I don't know if I'm gaining something knowledge yeah أخي عدا مستعجالي stop being hasty بطالب النتائج والثمار by looking at the results quickly if you don't see a result it's not working ولي ذلك if you look at today the marketing methods that are taken the promotions that the Khufar are doing every single thing they have to say three weeks you're going to see a a rapid result حجيب and sad because if the Khufar do that they're doing a worldly stuff they're doing a what worldly stuff okay but it's sad when the Muslims have taken that type of mindset and they've tried to apply it to the knowledge they've taken that same concept and they say to you two years you're going to be a half of بكتاب الله half of them 10 years to itقان to be honest the majority of people tell you that when they finish the Quran the first time wasn't even that it wasn't even the strongest time you find so many mistakes in your Quran the second time it feels like you're kind of healing the wounds in your Quran that you the places that you butchered and then the third maybe it's like when you kind of see your efforts هكذا a person will tell you إن شاء الله we're opening an institute after a year you're going to master the Arabic language master master يأخي سيب ويهد master the language it's a language can you hear the word master it's a language language doesn't finish what do you mean master a language and so some of them have even taken on the concept of saying two years and what after that you're an علم after that you're a scholar after that because you do the two year علمية course علمية two year course this is a problem now without one of the one of the best statements I've heard from the contemporary scholarship he said when a person graduates from this Islamic universities and he graduates the certificate that he's given he said it is to tell him that he knows nothing that certificate tells him for those six years you've learned and you don't know nothing now you know how to seek knowledge what you need to do go but what some have understood from that is after those six years that they're a scholar there's no need to add on to it they don't need to add on to it so we're a people we are people who have استعجال we're hasty in everything that we want to do we're very hasty we need to see the crops and the fruits ولي داليكة the prophet when they عار enemies أ else بضاء الله when they came to the prophet رسالةو عليه الصلاح and they said رسول الله are you not gonna give us victory this was the time made angry suffering was going through a lot of hardship in Makkah and the Prophet was sitting in the kaaba under the shade of the kaaba the Prophet was sitting in that position and so he came to him and said to him and then the prophet لأنه كان في من كان قبلكم راجل و يحفروا له في القبر قائل أرض أمان يكون المقصدات من هذه الأرض أمان يكون المقصدات منها و يكون مضعه إلى أهله و سيصبطه إلى أقادي و سيقوموا بعمل ذلك لا يصبدوا ذلك عن ديني و شيئاً هذا لن يفعله من حياته أنظر إلى الشخص بعد هذا و يقول ولكن لكم قوموا بتستعجلون لكنك هو شخص جيد إذا كانت تفضلتك يجب أن تفضلك تحتاج لترى يجب أن ترى أجل وردك وردك وردك. The Prophet said to him ولكنكم تستعجلون والله The Prophet said يسوب على الله والله لا يثير راكب من صنعه The Prophet said A rider will come from Sana'a To hadramout لا يخافوا إلا ذئب من غنمي He faced nothing except a wolf eating his goats That's all he faced ولكنكم تستعجلون But you guys are hasty people ولكنكم قوم تستعجلون You are people who are very very hasty You need to see the victory of Islam overnight I won't happen like that Same as when it comes to knowledge You won't see knowledge straight away It will take time It will take years It will take months It will take so much Are we all together? It will take time And this Subhan Allah has been put into us so much So much That it's hard for a person To even get rid of I remember recently I went to a place And I came into contact with one practitioner And we were talking And he told me something And he said if you do this This will change And you will do this for you And whatnot And I'm listening to him And I said to him How long is he going to take? And then he told me a period of time And how long is he going to take? I said Can you be done fast? Are you there brothers? Okay All of us We have that in us We really want to see A problem happened We need to see the results straight away So I had to grab myself Subhan Allah See Because you get affected by that Mindset And that thinking So brothers Knowledge is an honor It's an honor Nail the place You're trying to attain knowledge An honor والضفر والرفع Allah wants to raise you Subhanahu و تعالى لا يجا معليس تأجال This does not It doesn't gather with it He's telling us that It's an honor It's effort and hard work That you need to put in Brothers Do you not know this powerful statement Of اطوف رحمة الله اطوف رحمة الله He said Allah said in the Qur'an الله أعلى محيث و يجا عالوا رسالة Allah knows Where he's going to place his message in Right Did Allah not choose The Nabilah Muhammad is a messenger Did he choose anybody else? He specifically chose him right Just as the way Allah chooses the prophets And the messengers He also teaches He chooses the people of knowledge The people of knowledge are chosen by Allah So for you to be from those who Allah chose You can't just take it easily Anything other than prophecy It comes through hard work You and me brothers Are we all together? You have to work for it You have to earn it You have to deserve that title of being an علم You can't just take that overnight For else Everybody will be an علم And one of the things that people that get in their way in this matter Is that the person wants to be a sheikh overnight صح تراقص He wants to have students after a week of coming to a lesson He makes a little poster He promotes it He puts a stand there And now he thinks he wants to teach a saved thing that he learned Are we together brothers? This is not a story This is not This is a story A hastiness Having not grounded yourself yet Also what falls under that is These People who won't come to classes They'll ask you how long is this book going to be for You're going to carry it maybe for 2-3 years You're going to go on And they'll say to you سبحان الله Is there going to be any دورات An intensive seminar That you're going to do again like you did last time What do you want شاء الله تعالج You want to go through maybe 8-9-10 books One time One gathering Maybe a week or two That is not That's a hastiness That's a hastiness It falls under this The دورات which I call دورات مكثفة Where the sheikh comes and sits Or the teacher comes and sits And he teaches 10 books or 9 books This does not give you تقصين and تقريد Not at all It doesn't ground you know Does it give you a solidifier Make you a spurs No it doesn't The reason is because Again knowledge requires time It needs that time It needs that information to soak in Once your body يا اخوة You go to the gym today When you work on a body part in your body What do you do Do you work on it tomorrow again No you take the pain off it You let it recover You take it You put the effort towards the upper body now Then you push it towards this part of the body And this part And this part When the body heals Then you put it again through the Effort and the hard work That's how you see results But if you push it to its limits The body will not show nothing Because you're killing the teachers and what etc That's your body The mind's the same والله is no different It's no different Your brain needs It needs that time So if you're throwing You finish it one day And the next day You knock it to the figure Again You're throwing it at it The brain will not take it in You could You will benefit something from there But if you have to be going to a long term classes You have to go to long term classes People don't like those type of classes Because it goes against our nature والخلق الإنسان وعجولة Allah created mankind وعه هيستي We love to see results quickly and straight away The sixth characteristic brothers That we need to come with Before I go There's a statement said by يونس أبريزيدم About the issue of استعجال and hastiness He said that محمد ابن الشهاب الزهريو ستمي يا يونس لا تكابل العلم فإن العلم أودية فأيها أخذت فيه قطع بك قبل أن تبلوها ولكن خذه مع الأيام والليالي This is the point that concerns us He said ولكن خذه Take knowledge مع الأيام والليالي Take knowledge Day and night Gradually ولا تأخذ العلمة جملة Don't take one knowledge all at once Don't take كمية كبيرة Don't take a great amount on to yourself You take a lot in a very short time Don't do that Look what he said after that فمن رأى فإن مراما فإن مراما أخذه جملة تندهب عنه جملة For verily The one who tries to attain knowledge And wants to gain it all at once All of it at once It leaves you all at once The Somalis they have a saying Somalis they have a saying Which is Anyone who climbs a tree fast Can come down from it fast Right? In other words Anything that comes fast goes fast In English they say Easy come Easy go That's what it is Because this knowledge all came at once It won't stay It will go As it came it will leave you again ولكن الشيء بعد الشيء مع الأيام والليالي But what? Knowledge is what? Small bits Bite size Remember GCC yes Remember the little books bite size Does it still exist? Yeah? Did it exist or GCC bite size books? Yeah? Does it exist? Yeah? Yes Yeah those books they used to call it bite size علم is what? Bite size Small If you take a big amount into your mouth Your brother won't be able to chew it man Take small portions The sixth characteristics that the person needs to adorn himself with And have with him is You have to be stuck with the Scottish brothers واخذ العلم عنهم And taking knowledge from them ومراجعتهم And going back to them يا إخوة when we say علماء people of knowledge is that you go back to those people الله has made them علاماء وعدا بالاكتفاء بالكتو والمطالعات It's not enough that you read a book And you observe books And you do إطلاع That's good It's very beneficial To read and to research and whatnot يا إخوة الكلام you need a teacher You need a person of knowledge Over you فلعلمو نولج لا يؤخذ إلا من العلماء نولج is not taken except from the scholars And people of knowledge A person cannot say to you I attain knowledge And I gain knowledge بكثرة القراءة I read all of these books I did إطلاع Look at my memory I asked me anything I memorized it all You don't gain knowledge like that عمر رضي الله عنه ودريسي ألا وإن الناس بخيين ما أخذوا العلم عن أكابريهم عمر رضي الله عنه وقل That the people are upon good As long as they take knowledge from their seniors ولم يقوموا الصغير على الكبير And if the youngsters don't stand up In a position with their seniors That people are upon خير When he says that the young ones Are not out there speaking about their senior ones إما تجرأ قارب علم صغير A young student of knowledge He's not what He's not coming towards a senior person Than him in knowledge إذا قام الصغير على الكبير فقد هلكم That happens Then they become destroyed When a young Is speaking against a senior one ولي ذلك عبد الله بن مسعود And he said لا يزالوا الناس بخير That the people will be upon good ما أتاهم العلمة علمه If knowledge comes to them من قبال كبارائهم When knowledge comes to them From their seniors Their elders فإذا أتاهم But when knowledge comes to them العلمة من قبال الصغيرهم When knowledge comes to them From their youngsters هلكوا they become destroyed They become destroyed ولي ذلك أتاهم العلمة من قبال الصغير From the signs of the hour إنها العلمة من قبال الصغير One of the signs of the hour Is that knowledge will be sought From the youngsters And the senior scholars will be dismissed People don't want to go to them What is meant by the youngsters The scholars they say That the youngsters here Are not necessarily the age No They said الأصغير في أتالي There are two groups Who are they? The first one is أهل البداة عبدالبرح Mentioned that in this Kitab جامع بيان العلم وفضلي And the second one is أي الأصغير في العلم Those who are young in knowledge Not in age, knowledge Are we all together? They are young in Knowledge Their knowledge is immature Haven't got knowledge Have no understanding of the deen These are people of أصغير Even if the person is old in age And his wife beaded And he has no knowledge He's من الأصغير It's a person's beard is white And he's from the أهل البداة He's from the أصغير I will tell you together Because if you look at some of the علمات That we've seen They were young الإمام حافظ الحكامير رحمه الله حافظ الحكامير He didn't pass the age of 35 The author of the Kitab سولة ملمصول إلى علم الأصول I think he died at 32, 33 something like that ابن عبد الهدي died at the age of 38 الإمام النوة ويوت died at the age of 40 something الإمام المشافعي ويوت What that age did he die at 50? 53 53 أخوه it's very young It's very very young He died at that age الإمام المشافعي رحمه الله يا أخوه there are many علماء There are many علماء who died at a very young age And that's why one of the scholars مشايخ from معاسلين يا حي العمراني He wrote a Kitab called العلماء الذين لم يبلغوا سنة الأشوت Scholars who didn't reach a very senior age And he compiled all of the Taraji of the biography there And Sheikh Suleyman al-Ruhayli has a very good statement in this regard Which we mentioned in the Muqaddimah in our introduction Of the method of Shujaa when we were explaining it What is meant by Allah Sager Who knowledge should not be sought from Has a Kalam nafis in that regard We quoted him in that And we mentioned and we spoke about that But as we said brothers If we have a person who is young He's got great knowledge And we have a person who's old And he's got great knowledge We'll give the superiority We'll give the upper hand to who The one who's older in age لأن age يا اخوة الكرام Is not the محل نظر If you had the Dati We don't specifically just look at Mealy because of the age يا اخوة But the age is a Is a factor that a person will be chosen for Because the older that the person is The more mature And the more detached that the person is worked from The more that dunya The glamours and the glitters of this dunya The more sees his cover He sees his grave more Than the young one He sees what He sees his grave more But if you look at The people they try to disconnect you From the senior scholars So سلمان الرحيلي says that The Asagir are those whose statements Are not in line with their scholars Who are senior in age That's what he says And I mentioned that before That if the person who's speaking He's not coming out with nothing new Everything he's saying The kibar have said that He's just explaining and he's translating And he's bringing that information And يلتا مصر عنده العلم Knowledge is sought from that type of person I ask you all brothers To go to the Qalam by ألمام الشارطبيو رحمه الله In this regard ألمام الشارطبيو He has a very powerful statement Very long and lengthy In his كتاب الموافقات The first volume paid 139 To pay 148 Please Go and look at what he says It's nine pages Of gold Of when it comes تطورق تحسيل العلم The path of attaining knowledge The ways to attain knowledge And he talks about the method of Sitting under the feet of a scholar And taking knowledge from him And he talks about Going and reading books I advise you all to go to that place إن شاء الله تعالى Which I mentioned I'll conclude there بإذن الله الكريم Anything which I have said That was wrong It's from me and Shaytan And Allah and his message Are free from it شاء الله تعالى Tomorrow We're going to go into المنهجية العمالية When tomorrow We're going to go into Practical steps That the person needs to take We're going to say this stage The second stage That the person has to go through In order for him to come out with الفهم وصحة التصور When the person comes up with A correct understanding And a correct perception سبحانك اللهم بحمدك أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله أستغفيروا قواته إليه
