(162) Abu Hurairah, May Allaah be pleased with him narrated: I heard the Messenger of Allaah, salallahu 'alaihi wa sallam say:

"The example of one who acquires knowledge but does not narrate it is like the example of a man whom Allaah has given wealth but does not spend from it."

Shaykh Al Albaanee in his authentication of Kitaabul 'Ilm graded it hasan.

(142) The Prophet salallahu 'alaihi wa sallam said:

"Whoever conceals knowledge from which benefit is derived will be harnessed by a bridle made from fire."

Shaykh Al Albaanee mentioned it in his book Tahdheerus Saajid, and it was authenticated also by at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Hibbaan, Al Haakim and adh-Dhahabee.


(157)'Abdullah ibn 'Ubayd (A trustworthy taabi'ee) said:

"Knowledge is the main object of the believer. Everytime he obtains a part of it, he grasps onto it, and then seeks after another goal."

Shaykh Al Albaanee graded it authentic in his checking of Kitaabul 'Ilm.


(114)The Prophet salallahu 'alaihi wa sallam said:

"Knowledge is achieved through studying and maturity is achieved through puberty. Whoever strives after (learning) good will be given it. And whoever avoids evil will be protected from it." (refer to As Saheehah by Shaykh Al Albaanee)

(115) Abdullaah ibn Mas'ood radhiyallahu 'anhu said:

"Indeed, no one is born a scholar. Rather, knowledge is only obtained through learning."

Kitaabul 'Ilm...An Nasee'ee.
