Woe to you! Seek knowledge


Sufyan ath-Thawri  (Rahimahullaah) said to an Arab: 

 

“Woe to you! Seek knowledge. I fear that the knowledge will leave you & come to another people so that you are humiliated. Knowledge is an honour in this life & the next.”

(Jami’ Bayan-il-’ilm 1/118)

The Disease of this Ummah & its Doctor



It is reported that Sufyân Al-Thawrî – Allâh have mercy on him – said:

Wealth is the disease of this Ummah, and the scholar is the doctor of this Ummah. So if the doctor brings the disease to himself, how will he cure the people?”
