PEOPLE WHO SPEAK WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE

PEOPLE WHO SPEAK WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE

A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from his father from Muhammad ibn Sinan from Talha ibn Zayd who has said the following:  

"(Imam) Abu ‘Abdullah a.s has said, ‘Working without understanding and insight is like travelling in the wrong direction that only takes one farther away from the destination.’"

Muhammad ibn Yahya from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Muhammad ibn Sinan from ibn Muskan from Hassan al-Sayqal who has said the following:  

"(Imam) Abu ‘Abdullah a.s who has said, "Allah azwj does not accept a deed without good understanding, and proper understanding cannot be achieved without hard work. The one who attains proper understanding will be guided by it towards good deeds and the one who does not make any effort will not develop any understanding. Is it not a fact that parts of faith comes from other parts?"

It is narrated from him from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from the one he narrated from Abu ‘Abdullah a.s who has said the following:

"Imam Abu ‘Abdullah a.s has said that the Holy Prophet s.a.w.w said, ‘Those who work without knowledge, destroy more than what they gain.’"
