وَبِهِ، حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ رَجَاءِ بْنِ حَيْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - ﷺ قَالَ:
قَلِيلُ الْفِقْهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ كَثِيرِ الْعِبَادَةِ، وَكَفَى بِالْمَرْءِ فِقْهًا إِذَا عَبَدَ اللهَ، وَكَفَى بِالْمَرْءِ جَهْلًا إِذَا أُعْجِبَ بِرَأْيِهِ، إِنَّمَا النَّاسُ رَجُلَانِ؛ مُؤْمِنٌ وَجَاهِلٌ، فَلَا تُؤْذِ الْمُؤْمِنَ، وَلَا تُجَاوِرِ الْجَاهِلَ

✧ A little understanding is better than much worship. It is enough of understanding for a man that he worships God, and it is enough of ignorance for a man that he is impressed with his own opinion. People are only two: a believer and an ignorant person. So do not harm the believer, and do not keep the company of the ignorant.
