Hadith 145
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَأَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: "عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْعِلْمِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُقْبَضَ، وَقَبْضُهُ أَنْ يُذْهَبَ بِأَصْحَابِهِ، عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْعِلْمِ، فَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَا يَدْرِي مَتَى يُفْتَقَرُ إِلَيْهِ أَوْ يُفْتَقَرُ إِلَى مَا عِنْدَهُ، إِنَّكُمْ سَتَجِدُونَ أَقْوَامًا يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُمْ يَدْعُونَكُمْ إِلَى كِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَقَدْ نَبَذُوهُ وَرَاءَ ظُهُورِهِمْ، فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالْعِلْمِ، وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالتَّبَدُّعَ، وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالتَّنَطُّعَ، وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالتَّعَمُّقَ، وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالْعَتِيقِ".
It is narrated from Abu Qilabah that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Acquire knowledge before it is taken away, and its being taken away means that the people of knowledge will be taken away. Hold fast to knowledge (because) none of you knows when he will be in need of it, or when someone who possesses knowledge will be needed. You will find many people who will think that they are calling towards the Book of Allah, while in fact they will have cast it behind their backs. Hold firmly to knowledge and beware of inventing new acts of worship (bid'ah), avoid exaggeration, refrain from unnecessary depth and intricacy, and follow the footsteps of the predecessors.
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Ahadith 143 to 145)
But despite this narration being weak, it is an example of golden sayings, and in it there is encouragement to acquire knowledge, admonition to avoid excessiveness, overcomplication, and innovation, and the exhortation to follow in the footsteps of the noble predecessors, which is absolutely correct and necessary. May Allah Ta'ala grant everyone the ability to do so.
Ameen.
