"Knowledge is what benefits, knowledge is not what one has memorized." Imam ash-Shaafi'i

brother, that was actually one of the quotes I was reading last night that got me thinking.

Then there's:

Sufyan al-Thawri (may Allah have mercy on him) said, “Knowledge knocks on the door of action. If it receives a reply, it stays, otherwise it departs.”

“If your intention in seeking knowledge is between God Most High and yourself and not merely to gain information, then rejoice! The Angels will spread out their wings for you while you walk, and the creatures in the sea will ask God to pardon you.” [Imam Al’Ghazali in his Bidaya al Hidaya]

When it has been said that the angels spread out their wings in the path of the one seeking sacred knowledge, then just imagine what Allah has in store for such a person. [Abu Ali Daqaq]
