Al-Laith bin Sa`d and others have said: A man wrote to
Ibn `Umar رضي الله عنهما saying: Write down (gather)
for me all the knowledge. So Ibn `Umar رضي الله عنهما wrote back to him: “Verily!
`Ilm is vast. But if you are capable of:
1. Meeting Allaah تعالى with a light load on your back by (not spilling) the blood of people (unjustly) [1],
2. Having a slender belly by avoiding people’s wealth [2],
3. Restraining the tongue from (playing with) people’s honor,
4. Sticking to their Jamaa`ah (and avoid splitting),
then do so.”
[Siyar A`laam al-Nubalaa (3/222)]
[1] During the turmoil of Hajjaaj bin Yusuf there was a lot of bloodshed and confusion.
[2] From usurping their wealth unjustly.
