Seek knowledge from scholars

*The Consequences of Leaving the Scholars*

From Muhammad bin Sireen -rahimahullaah- who said:
'Indeed there were a people who left seeking knowledge and the gatherings of the scholars. They took to praying and fasting a lot, so much so that their skins had become dried on to their bones.

Then they opposed the Sunnah and they were destroyed. They spilt the blood of the Muslims.

I swear by Allaah whom there is none other worthy of worship, no one did an action based upon ignorance except that he caused more evil than rectification.'
