IMAAM AL’AWZAA’EE- IF ALLAAH WISHES TO DEPRIVE A SLAVE..



 IMAAM AL’AWZAA’EE- IF ALLAAH
WISHES TO DEPRIVE A SLAVE..

Imaam Al-Awzaa’ee (rahimahullaah) said:

”If Allaah wishes to deprive a slave of the blessings of knowledge (i.e. due his own fault), Allaah places [الأغاليط] upon the tongue of that person” [1]

 [الأغاليط--i.e. obscure and difficult affairs, which are pursued through blameworthy argumentation, corrupt intentions in seeking answers to questions—increasing him in doubts and blameworthy argumentation. And due to him being in pursuit of obscure affairs which have no benefit and not seeking the correct understanding intended by Allaah and His Messenger (in the Qur’aan and Sunnah), and the knowledge of the boundaries of the sharia pertaining to actions; then indeed he has wasted his time and is deprived of the blessings contained in knowledge]
