Desiring Knowledge
Translated
By
Abbas Abu Yahya
Imam Malik bin Anas (d. 179 A.H.) -Rahimahullaah- said:
‘Indeed there were people who desired worship, but neglected knowledge so they rebelled against the Ummah of Muhammad ﷺ with their swords, and if they had desired knowledge then it would have prevented them from rebelling.’
[From ‘Miftah dar as-Sa’ada 1/119]
قال الإمام ابن القيم – رحمه الله تبارك و تعالى – :
• – قال ابن القاسم – رحمه الله – :
• – سمعتُ مالكا – رحمه الله يقول :
• – إن أقواماً ابتغوا العبادةَ ، وأضاعوا العلمَ ، فخرجوا على أمة محمدٍ ﷺ بأسيافهم .
• – ولو ابتغوا العلمَ لَحَجزهم عن ذلك .
