Chapter: Acting Upon Knowledge and Sincerity in It
Sunan ad-Darimi 263 — Acting Upon Knowledge and Sincerity in It
أَخْبَرَنَا مُجَاهِدُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ مِغْوَلٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِلشَّعْبِيِّ: أَفْتِنِي أَيُّهَا الْعَالِمُ، فَقَالَ: "الْعَالِمُ مَنْ يَخَافُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ".
A man said to Imam Sha’bi (may Allah have mercy on him): O scholar (of religion), give me a fatwa. So he said: The scholar is the one who fears Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 262)
That is, merely acquiring knowledge does not make one a scholar (‘alim); rather, until there is practice (amal), piety (taqwa), and sincerity (ikhlas), one cannot become a true scholar.
