Hadith 671
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عُثْمَانَ الْبَصْرِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ الْقَسْمَلِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنَا زَيْدٌ الْعَمِّيُّ، عَنْ بَعْضِ الْفُقَهَاءِ أَنَّهُ، قَالَ: "يَا صَاحِبَ الْعِلْمِ، اعْمَلْ بِعِلْمِكَ، وَأَعْطِ فَضْلَ مَالِكَ، وَاحْبِسْ الْفَضْلَ مِنْ قَوْلِكَ إِلَّا بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ الْحَدِيثِ يَنْفَعُكَ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ، يَا صَاحِبَ الْعِلْمِ إِنَّ الَّذِي عَلِمْتَ ثُمَّ لَمْ تَعْمَلْ بِهِ قَاطِعٌ حُجَّتَكَ وَمَعْذِرَتَكَ عِنْدِ رَبِّكَ إِذَا لَقِيتَهُ، يَا صَاحِبَ الْعِلْمِ، إِنَّ الَّذِي أُمِرْتَ بِهِ مِنْ طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ لَيَشْغَلُكَ عَمَّا نُهِيتَ عَنْهُ مِنْ مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ، يَا صَاحِبَ الْعِلْمِ، لَا تَكُونَنَّ قَوِيًّا فِي عَمَلِ غَيْرِكَ، ضَعِيفًا فِي عَمَلِ نَفْسِكَ، يَا صَاحِبَ الْعِلْمِ، لَا يَشْغَلَنَّكَ الَّذِي لِغَيْرِكَ عَنْ الَّذِي لَكَ، يَا صَاحِبَ الْعِلْمِ، جَالِسْ الْعُلَمَاءَ، وَزَاحِمْهُمْ وَاسْتَمِعْ مِنْهُمْ، وَدَعْ مُنَازَعَتَهُمْ، يَا صَاحِبَ الْعِلْمِ، عَظِّمْ الْعُلَمَاءَ لِعِلْمِهِمْ، وَصَغِّرْ الْجُهَّالَ لِجَهْلِهِمْ، وَلَا تُبَاعِدْهُمْ، وَقَرِّبْهُمْ وَعَلِّمْهُمْ، يَا صَاحِبَ الْعِلْمِ، لَا تُحَدِّثْ بِحَدِيثٍ فِي مَجْلِسٍ حَتَّى تَفْهَمَهُ، وَلَا تُجِبْ امْرَأً فِي قَوْلِهِ حَتَّى تَعْلَمَ مَا قَالَ لَكَ، يَا صَاحِبَ الْعِلْمِ، لَا تَغْتَرَّ بِاللَّهِ، وَلَا تَغْتَرَّ بِالنَّاسِ، فَإِنَّ الْغِرَّةَ بِاللَّهِ تَرْكُ أَمْرِهِ، وَالْغِرَّةَ بِالنَّاسِ اتِّبَاعُ أَهْوَائِهِمْ، وَاحْذَرْ مِنْ اللَّهِ مَا حَذَّرَكَ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ، وَاحْذَرْ مِنْ النَّاسِ فِتْنَتَهُمْ، يَا صَاحِبَ الْعِلْمِ، إِنَّهُ لَا يَكْمُلُ ضَوْءُ النَّهَارِ إِلَّا بِالشَّمْسِ، كَذَلِكَ لَا تَكْمُلُ الْحِكْمَةُ إِلَّا بِطَاعَةِ اللَّهِ، يَا صَاحِبَ الْعِلْمِ، إِنَّهُ لَا يَصْلُحُ الزَّرْعُ إِلَّا بِالْمَاءِ وَالتُّرَابِ، كَذَلِكَ لَا يَصْلُحُ الْإِيمَانُ إِلَّا بِالْعِلْمِ وَالْعَمَلِ، يَا صَاحِبَ الْعِلْمِ، كُلُّ مُسَافِرٍ مُتَزَوِّدٌ، وَسَيَجِدُ إِذَا احْتَاجَ إِلَى زَادِهِ مَا تَزَوَّدَ، وَكَذَلِكَ سَيَجِدُ كُلُّ عَامِلٍ إِذَا احْتَاجَ إِلَى عَمَلِهِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مَا عَمِلَ فِي الدُّنْيَا، يَا صَاحِبَ الْعِلْمِ، إِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَحُضَّكَ عَلَى عِبَادَتِهِ، فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُبَيِّنَ لَكَ كَرَامَتَكَ عَلَيْهِ، فَلَا تَحَوَّلَنَّ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ، فَتَرْجِعَ مِنْ كَرَامَتِهِ إِلَى هَوَانِهِ، يَا صَاحِبَ الْعِلْمِ، إِنَّكَ إِنْ تَنْقُلْ الْحِجَارَةَ وَالْحَدِيدَ أَهْوَنُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ أَنْ تُحَدِّثَ مَنْ لَا يَعْقِلُ حَدِيثَكَ، وَمَثَلُ الَّذِي يُحَدِّثُ مَنْ لَا يَعْقِلُ حَدِيثَهُ كَمَثَلِ الَّذِي يُنَادِي الْمَيِّتَ وَيَضَعُ الْمَائِدَةَ لِأَهْلِ الْقُبُورِ".
Zayd al-‘Ammi reported from some jurists that they said: O possessor of knowledge! Act according to your knowledge, give away your surplus wealth, and avoid excessive speech except for that which will benefit you with Allah. O possessor of knowledge! If you have acquired knowledge but do not act upon it, then when you meet your Lord, this (lack of action) will remove any argument and excuse from you. O possessor of knowledge! The command given to you to obey Allah is so that you may stay away from that which you have been forbidden in disobedience to Allah. O people of knowledge! Do not be strong in other people's affairs and weak in your own. O possessor of knowledge! Do not let what is for someone else distract you from what is for yourself. O possessor of knowledge! Honor the scholars, gather around them, listen to them, and do not argue or quarrel with them. O possessor of knowledge! Respect and honor the scholars because of their knowledge, and consider the ignorant as lesser because of their ignorance, but do not drive them away; rather, bring them close and teach them knowledge. O possessor of knowledge! Do not narrate a hadith in any gathering which you do not understand, and do not answer anyone until you understand what he has asked you.
O possessor of knowledge! Do not deceive Allah, nor deceive the people. Deceiving Allah is to turn away from His command, and deceiving people is to follow their desires. And fear Allah, as He has commanded you to fear Him, and fear the people lest they put you into trials.
O possessor of knowledge! Surely, just as the light of day is perfected only by the sun, so too is wisdom perfected by obedience to Allah.
O possessor of knowledge! Just as crops are sustained by water and soil, so too is faith sustained by knowledge and action.
O possessor of knowledge! Just as every traveler gathers provisions and finds them when needed, so too will every doer be in need in the Hereafter of the deeds he did in the world.
O possessor of knowledge! When Allah urges you to worship Him, know that Allah intends to declare your status and rank with Him, so do not turn to anyone else besides Him, lest you turn from His honor to disgrace and humiliation.
O possessor of knowledge! If you were to carry stones and iron, it would be easier than narrating a hadith to someone who does not understand your words. The example of a person who narrates his hadith to the unintelligent is like one who calls out to the dead and spreads a tablecloth for the dead.
