Hardship whilst seeking 'Ilm (Knowledge)


Imagen Original

It is well known how the salaf would strive whilst travelling to in order to seek knowledge and they would go through trials and tribulations.

Ibn taahir al maqdasee rahimahullah said

" I urinated blood twice whilst seeking hadeeth. Once in Baghdaad and another in Makkah. I used to walk barefooted in the heat, and it overtook me, not once did I get on a riding beast whilst seeking hadeeth, I would carry my books on my back, I never asked anyone (for anything) at the time of request, I used to live upon whatever comes (in aid)"
