Words of Wisdom by Imam Ash-Shaafi’ee (rahimahullaah)
The Arts of Knowledge:
Whoever learns Qur’an, then his value becomes great.
Whoever speaks in Fiqh (learns it), his capacity grows.
Whoever writes ahadeeth, his evidence strengthens.
Whoever examines into language, his nature softens.
Whoever contemplates the reckoning, his opinion becomes sound.
And whoever does not protect himself, his knowledge does not benefit him.
Oppressor of His Own Self:
The one who oppresses himself the most is:
The one who humbles himself for one who does not honour him.
And strives in the friendship of one who does not benefit him.
And accepts praise from one who does not know him.
Generosity and Nobility:
Whoever advised his brother secretly has advised him well and whoever advised his brother openly (in public) has indeed exposed him and betrayed him.
Knowledge and Sins:
A wise man wrote to another wise man: ‘O my brother, you have indeed been given knowledge, so do not pollute your knowledge with the darkness of sins – such that you remain in darkness on the Day that the people of knowledge speed forth with the light of their knowledge.’
