Take care of the knowledge you receive

بـسـم الله والحـمـد لله والـصلاة والـسـلام عــلى رسـول الله، وبـعـد

    1. wa `alaikum assalaam.

      One example is:

      Narrated Abdullah ibn Mas'ud: The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “On the Day of Resurrection the feet of the son of Adam will not move away till he is questioned about five matters: on what he spent his life, in doing what he made his youth pass away; whence he acquired his property, on what he spent it, and what he did regarding what he knew.” [al-Tirmidhee 2416 and classified as Saheeh by Shaikh al-Albaanee in al-Saheehah 946]

      "what he did regarding what he knew", is in regards to knowledge. So if a person does not act upon what he has learned, he will be in trouble on the Day of Judgment.

      And Allaah knows best.

      Baarak Allaahu feek.
