حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَرَفَةَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ لَيْثٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبَّادٍ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ
«الْفَقِيهُ حَقُّ الْفَقِيهِ الَّذِي لَا يُقَنِّطُ النَّاسَ مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ وَلَا يُؤَمِّنُهُمْ مِنْ عَذَابِ اللَّهِ وَلَا يُرَخِّصُ لَهُمْ فِي مَعَاصِي اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لَا خَيْرَ فِي عِبَادَةٍ لَا عِلْمَ فِيهَا وَلَا خَيْرَ فِي عِلْمٍ لَا فَهْمَ فِيهِ وَلَا خَيْرَ فِي قِرَاءَةٍ لَا تَدَبُّرَ فِيهَا»

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