حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَنِيفَةَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، قَالَ: نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْحَرَشِيُّ، قَالَ: نَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ:
مَا عُبِدَ اللهُ بِشَيْءٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ فِقْهٍ فِي دِينٍ، وَلَفَقِيهٌ أَشَدُّ عَلَى الشَّيْطَانِ مِنْ أَلْفِ عَابِدٍ، وَلِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِمَادٌ، وَعِمَادُ هَذَا الدِّينُ الْفِقْهُ

✧ Allah is not worshipped with anything better than understanding in religion. One jurist is harder on Satan than a thousand worshippers. Everything has a pillar, and the pillar of this religion is fiqh.
