 فشرف بل اشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا دا دا دا لا وياله من شراف عظيمي الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثاناء الجميل وأشد الله إله إلا الله وحدول شريك له يقول الحق وهو يهدي السبيل وأشد أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد سل الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بإحسانين إلى يوم الدين أما بعد إن شاء الله تعالى today's benefit is going to be a benefit from أميل المؤمنين علي بن أبي الطالب رضي الله تعالى عنه an advice given to كوميل ابنوزياد كوميل ابنوزياد an advice that was given to him and this wasiyah this advice is very famous and is very well known ابن عساكر he narrated in his kitab تاريق الدمشقاء ابن عبد البر he wrote in his kitab جامع بيان العلم وفضلي أن أبو نعيم أبو نعيم الأصبهان رحمه الله he wrote in his kitab حلية الأولياء وطبقات الأصفيا علي ابنة بطالب علي سات كوميل ابنوزياد هيسر يا كوميل ابنوزياد إن هذه القلوب أوعية وخيرها أوعاها للعلم إحفظ عني ما أقول لك أن ناس ثلاثة علي بطالبن هيسر أو كوميل ابنوزياد these hearts are containers إن هذه القلوب أوعية these hearts are containers وخيرها أوعاها للعلم the best of them is that which preserves its container knowledge or it contains in it knowledge he said the best of them is that which preserves in its contents knowledge إحفظ عني ما أقول لك take from me and preserve and memorize that which I am going to say to you so علي بطالب he called كوميل ابنوزياد by his name كوميل is a tabii he said to him that this heart that we have is an أوعية it's a vessel it's a container and the best thing a person can fill that container with is knowledge memorize that which I am going to say to you now keep it in إعلن أن ناس ثلاثة the people are three the people are what people are three types the first one is عالم الربانيون the first one is one is the scholar with him is divine legislation عالم الربانيون is the scholar the عالم is the scholar الربانيون is a divine scholar who has what divine laws with him ومتعلم على سبيل النجاتي the second one is the seeker of knowledge who is also on the way to deliverance على سبيل النجاتي he is a seeker of knowledge who is on the path to to deliverance look at the third one now وهمجون رعاع اتباع كل نعقن the third one is the lastly which is the common he is a common rot همجون رعاع he is a common rot ROT who runs after every caller he is a hamajون رعاع he runs after and he bends in the direction of every wind همد الرعاع and the fact that a person does not learn how to distinguish between these three people a big problem occurs to him and not known who is who and you also brothers and sisters you have to realize and keep in your mind are you a عالم الرباني or are you a متعلمون على سبيل النجاة or are you a hamajون رعاع اتباع كل نعقن which of the three are you which of the three categories do you fall يميرون امع كل ريحن you bend and you divert and you go with every wind there is look what he says to them and he said لم يستضيعوا بنول العن those the last type of people they seek no light they have not gained and they don't have light بنول العن ولم يلجأوا الى ركن وثق and they also ولم يلجأوا and they also have not they don't have any effulgence they don't have effulgence الى ركن وثق a pillar that is rooted they don't have it they don't have it او كوميل او كوميل العلم خير من المالي ولم is better than he says العلم خير من المالي is better than wealth العلم يحرصك وانت تحرص المالة knowledge protects you وانت تحرص المالة but wealth it requires from you to preserve it and to look after it knowledge, it looks after you it takes care of you whereas money and wealth it requires you to look after it المال ينقصه النفقة money giving it reduces it و العلم يزق على الانفاقي whereas knowledge it grows by giving it the more you give it the more you learn and this is the statement of who و كمزوا لا تخافوا به لصا خفيفة الحملي يوجد حيث كنت that knowledge is what it is a treasury it's a treasure which you don't fear any thief to come and take it from you لا تخافوا عليه لصا it's knowledge is a treasure that you have but no thief can rob it from you خفيفة الحملي يوجد حيث كنت and it's very light to carry whatever you are يزيد بكثرة الإنفاقي منه the more you give it it increases و ينقصوا إمده كفن شد التا but it decreases if you have a stringy hand knowledge increases decreases if you don't give knowledge it decreases but if you give it it increases for you whereas wealth the more you give it so the statement of علي here is this I was haقل البيري took it from there يا كميل او كميل ابن زياد محبت العالمي او كميل او كميل محبت العالمي their admiration and the love or the adoration that a person has for a scholar دين يدانه is a belief which is acted upon loving the scholars and having admiration and respect for them and love is a belief in which which is acted upon تقصيوه الطاعة في حياته with it a person, an individual a man acquires obedience during his life and a good name after his death و جميل الأحدوثة بعد وفاته the person loving the scholars having high respect for knowledge and his people and also having that knowledge with you as well and gaining that knowledge you gain with it obedience you gain with it obedience while you are alive if a person is a person of knowledge whilst they are alive they get obedience in it they benefit in their people they are learning themselves and etc but when they die what do they also get after they are gone إن شاء الله تعالى they get a good name after their death و منفعت المال يتزول بزواله the benefit of wealth on the other hand it vanishes it goes when the wealth vanishes if the wealth goes the benefit of that wealth goes العلم حاكمن knowledge knowledge it governs it takes control of the things والمال محكم عليه whereas wealth it requires governance the sheikh then said او كميل يا كميل ما تخزان المال وهم احياء those who save God wealth they are dead even though they are alive ما تخزان المال those who are protecting wealth they are dead وهم احياء even though they are still alive والعلماء باقون and the scholars they still remain ما بقي الدهر as long as time ever lives as long as the world is going on they still remain اعيانهم مفقودة their existence is absent in the fact that they are not there anymore they physically are not there اعيانهم مفقودة وامثالهم في القلوب موجودة but their examples their benefits their remembrance is still present in the people's hearts this statement of كميل ابن زياد اظنوا ان لوظوحة هذه المعاني تغني عن الإفاضة في التعليق عليها this advice that كميل ابن زياد just gave us right now sorry علي gave to كميل ابن زياد this advice is clear it doesn't require any explanation more and so inshaAllah تعالى let's keep in mind that the importance of العلم وأهلوه and its people and how it is in comparison to money and wealth and the other things that the Imam he mentions will be concluded inshaAllah سبحانك الله وبحمدك اشهد ان لا إله إلا الله استغفرك وأتوب إليه
