فَضْلٌ فِي وُجُوبِ السُّؤَالِ عَنْ كُلِّ مَا يَحْتَاجُهُ لِدِينِهِ وَدُنْيَاهُ
Its virtue regarding the obligation to ask about everything needed for one's religion and worldly life
Hadith 272
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَصَابَهُ جُرْحٌ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأُمِرَ بِالْاِغْتِسَالِ فَمَاتَ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: ((قَتَلُوهُ قَتَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ، أَلَمْ يَكُنْ شِفَاءُ الْعَيِّ السُّؤَالُ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man was wounded during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He was ordered to perform ghusl (ritual bath) due to janabah, and as a result of this ghusl, he passed away. When this news reached the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: "The people have killed him, may Allah destroy them. Is not the cure for ignorance to ask a question?"
