An explanation between the two types of knowledge that are sought. Essential knowledge such as studying the sciences of the Qur'aan and Hadeeth. And Anecdotal Knowledge such as studying poetry, history etc.
The student of knowledge is always in need of renewing his love for knowledge, and this is not possible except by being in constant contact with the people of knowledge. This means that one should always seize the opportunity to attend their lectures and their gatherings, and to avoid clashing their statements against each other, because the one who opposes the people of knowledge prohibits his own self (from what is good), and this occurs quite often.
