– ((من يرد الله به خيرا يفقه في الدين، وإنما أنا قاسم والله المعطي، ولن تزال هذه الأمة قائمة علي أمر الله لايضرهم من خالفهم حتي يأتي أمر الله)) رواه البخاري

(Narrated) From Mu’awiya bn Abi Sufyan, he said:

The Messenger of Allah – salallahu alayhi wasallam – said: “Whosoever Allah wants good for, He gives him an understanding of the Din. And I am responsible for sharing and giving but Allah is the Bestower. And there will never cease to be a band of people in my Ummah who are resolutely standing upright for the Commands of Allah, they will not be affected by the harm of those that oppose them, until the Command of Allah comes.” Transmitted and Recorded by Imaam Al-Bukhaari

Al-Haafidh Ibn Hajar Al-Asqalaani – rahimahullah – said:

“Abu Ya’ala transmitted the Hadith of Mu’awiya with another phrasing though weak, he added in its end “and whosoever He (Allah) does not give the understanding of Din, then Allah doesn’t care about (his concerns)” and the meaning of it is authentic and sound because whomsoever does not know the affairs of his Din (religion) cannot be a faqih (one of understanding) nor can he be regarded as a seeker of understanding (a student of Fiqh). It therefore is right that he be described as good not been wanted/decreed for him. And in that is a clear explanation on the virtues and merits of the Ulamaa over the rest of mankind, and on the merits of seeking the knowledge of Fiqh in the Din over the rest branches of Shar’i knowledge.” (Fat’hu Al-Baari 1/165)

The Companion Abu Ad-Dardaa – radiyallahu anhu – said:

‌‏((يرزق الله العلم السعداء ويحرمه الأشقياء)) ‌

‎ “Allah provides the Successfull ones (the Su’adaa) with ILM and forbids it the wretched ones (the Ashqiyaa).” Transmitted and Recorded by Imaam Ibn AbdilBarr in Jaami’ Bayaan Al-Ilm 1/57

This shows us, o beloved brothers and sisters, the importance of studying Fiqh and other branches of the      Shari’a [ And let’s pay extra attention to what Abu Ad-Dardaa said in the hadith above.

Jazakumullaahu Khayran!
