The person who is seeking the Dunya is excited by dust...


Shaykh Abdul-Malik ibn Muhammad ibn Abdur-Rahmaan al-Qaasim [May Allaah have Mercy on him] said in his book ‘The Scholars are the Inheritors of the Prophets’, Pg.43:

The person who is seeking the Dunya is excited by dust but our scholars give their expertise to having insight. As for the student of the knowledge, his desires are in learning from the books which teach him on how to live his life and memorizing.

Allaamah Al-Sakhaawee [May Allaah have Mercy on him] said:

Haafidh Ibn Hajar [May Allaah have mercy on him] read the whole of Sunnan Ibn Maajah in four sittings and Saheeh Muslim also in four sittings, from the beginning until the end. This was all done within the space of two days or so. His sittings started in the morning and it carried on until Dhuhr. He also read Nasaa’ee al-Kabeer in ten sittings, each sitting lasted about four hours. The quickest book he covered was when he read the Mu’jam of Tabaraanee as-Sagheer in one sitting, between the Dhuhr and ‘Asr prayers. This book was in one volume, it had approximately one thousand five hundred Ahadeeth. He completed Bukhaaree in ten sittings, each sitting lasted four hours.
