اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ حَفْصٍ، عَنْ أَشْعَثَ، عَنْ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، قَالَ: "مَا أُبَالِي سُئِلْتُ عَمَّا أَعْلَمُ أَوْ مَا لَا أَعْلَمُ، لِأَنِّي إِذَا سُئِلْتُ عَمَّا أَعْلَمُ، قُلْتُ مَا أَعْلَمُ، وَإِذَا سُئِلْتُ عَمَّا لَا أَعْلَمُ قُلْتُ: لَا أَعْلَمُ".
It is narrated from Ash'ath, may Allah have mercy on him, that Imam Muhammad bin Sirin, may Allah have mercy on him, said: I do not care whether I am asked about something I know or not. Because if I am asked about something I know, I answer accordingly, and if I do not know, I say «لا أعلم» that I do not know.
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadiths 184 to 189)
SubhanAllah, what simplicity and humility! ‘Amir al-Sha‘bi is a scholar of great stature, yet with such simplicity he says: I am not afraid of being questioned, nor do I resort to affectation, because whatever I know, I state it, and if I do not know, I say that I have no knowledge of it.
