أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبَانَ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ الْقُمِّيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي لَيْثُ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى هُوَ ابْنُ عَبَّادٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ قَالَ
«إِنَّ الْفَقِيهَ حَقَّ الْفَقِيهِ مَنْ لَمْ يُقَنِّطِ النَّاسَ مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ وَلَمْ يُرَخِّصْ لَهُمْ فِي مَعَاصِي اللَّهِ وَلَمْ يُؤَمِّنْهُمْ مِنْ عَذَابِ اللَّهِ وَلَمْ يَدَعِ الْقُرْآنَ رَغْبَةً عنْهُ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ إِنَّهُ لَا خَيْرَ فِي عِبَادَةٍ لَا عِلْمَ فِيهَا وَلَا عِلْمٍ لَا فَهْمَ فِيهِ وَلَا قِرَاءَةٍ لَا تَدَبُّرَ فِيهَا»

✧ “The jurist, the true jurist, is the one who does not make people despair of Allah’s mercy, does not permit them to commit disobedience to Allah, does not make them feel secure from Allah’s punishment, and does not abandon the Qur’an out of aversion to it in favor of something else. Indeed, there is no good in worship without knowledge, no knowledge without understanding, and no recitation without reflection.”
