Knowledge and Acting Upon it

Hasan al-Basree said, “The knowledge of a Munaafiq is on his tongue but the knowledge of a Mu’min is in his deeds”. [Narrated by Ibn Abee Haatim in Kitaab az-Zuhd]

Hasan al-Basree [May Allaah have Mercy on him] also said, “The Mu’min has good thoughts about Allaah so he does good deeds but the Munaafiq has bad thoughts about Allaah so he has bad deeds.” [Narrated in Musannif Ibn Abee Shaybah]

Khateeb al-Baghdaadee in Iqtidaa narrated that Sufyaan bin ‘Uyaynah [May Allaah have Mercy on him] said, “Knowledge that doesn’t benefit you will harm you.”

Khateeb al-Baghdaadee [May Allaah have Mercy on him] said in commenting, “Knowledge that you act upon is beneficial but knowledge that you don’t act upon is harmful for the person who has that knowledge.”

Sufyaan bin ‘Uyaynah [May Allaah have Mercy on him] said, “The person who is intelligent is not one who knows what is good for him and what is bad for him, rather the intelligent one is the one who knows what is good for him and he follows it and knows what is bad and he stays away from it.” [Narrated by Abee Na’eem in Hilya]

Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah [May Allaah have Mercy on him] said, “Success, peace and completeness in the religion is attained in two ways; knowledge that is beneficial and deeds that are righteous, this is what will make you successful in front of Allaah.”
