What is Knowledge?

Post by fisabililah »

It is reported from Al Awzai that he said,

Knowledge is what has come from the Companions of Allahs Messenger(sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and what has not come from them is not knowledge.

Al-Dhahabi,, Siyar Alam AlNubala, in his biography of Al Awzai. Ibn Asakir, Tarikh Dimishq Vol.35 p201.

And it is reported from Al Awzai (Allah have mercy on him) that he said,

I have been told that it used to be said, 'Woe to those who study (their religion) for a purpose other than worship, and those who seek to permit what is forbidden through doubts and specious arguments.'

Al Khattib Al Baghdadi, Iqtda Al Ilm Al Amal, p77.

Wait a second, let me think. There are different types of knowledge...having said that...aren't we (muslims) encouraged to seek knowledge even if we went as far as China! And didnt Allah (swt) said " the men of knowledge are inheritors of the prophets".

May Allah have mercy on us...
