Interaction with The Scholars

Yahyaa bin Ma’een was asked, “May a man give a Fatwaa (religious verdict) if he possesses one hundred thousand Hadeeth?” He said, “No.” I said, “Two hundred thousand Hadeeth?” He said, “No.” I said, “Three hundred?” He said, “No.” I said, “Five hundred thousand?” He said, “I suspect that it would not suffice him to give Fatwaa (religious verdict) that he gathered the books mentioned by Yahyaa without his having knowledge of it, examining it, being firmly grounded and precise therein. Knowledge is understanding and comprehension, and knowledge is not relaying an abundance of narrations.” ³¹

The Maintainer of the Sunnah al-Asbahaanee stated “It is appropriate that the person be weary and cautious of newly invented novelties since every newly invented novelty is an innovation.

They spoke less than Ibn ‘Abbaas and they were more knowledgeable than him. Likewise, the Taabi’een spoke more than the companions and the companions were more knowledgeable than they were.

Likewise the Taabi’ut-Taabi’een spoke more than the Taabi’een and the Taabi’oon knew more than them. So knowledge is neither relaying an abundance of narrations nor an abundance of speech, but it is light that is placed in the heart so that the servant c n understand the truth and distinguish between it and falsehood. This can be expressed in more concise expressions that reach the objective for surely he was given Jawaami’ aiKalaam (concise comprehensive speech) and speech was concise and comprehensive for him. ³⁴
