 By Shaykh Saalih Aalush-ShaykhSeeking knowledge is a lengthy path that is not possible to embark upon except by abandoning play and amusement and approaching it in a serious manner. This is because Allaah the Exalted, the most High, described what He revealed to Muhammad (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), and He (Allaah) is the most truthful in speech, as a weighty word. Allaah the Exalted, the most High says, “Soon shall We send down to thee a weighty word.” [Sooratul-Muzzammil, 73:5]
“Soon shall We send down to thee a weighty word.” [Sooratul-Muzzammil, 73:5] And this weighty word is the kitaab and the sunnah. Thus, when it was said to Imaam Maalik Ibn Anas, the Imaam of Darul-Hijrah (Madeenah), “These are easy questions", concerning some questions he could not answer, he replied, “Do not say this, for regardless whether the knowledge is small or big, there exists no such thing as easy because Allaah the Exalted, the most High described it as a weighty word.”
Translation by Hishaam Ibn Zayd
