وسنذكر حديث جابر:
"فإنما شفاء العي السؤال" في باب التيمم إن شاء الله تعالى.
We shall mention Jabir’s tradition, “The only cure for perplexity is
to ask”* in the chapter on performing ablution with sand, if God will.
*Book 111. Chap. xi, section ii.
Ibrahim b. ‘Abd ar-Rahman al-‘Udhri reported God's messenger
as saying, "In every successive century those who are reliable authorities
will preserve this knowledge, rejecting the changes made by extremists, the plagiarisms of those who make false claims for themselves, and the
interpretations of the ignorant.”*
*The source is lacking. The editor of the Damascus edition of the Mishkat says the tradition
is given by Baihaqi in al-Madkhal.
Al-Hasan reported in mursal form that God’s messenger said, “If
death comes to anyone when he is seeking knowledge with the purpose
of using it to revivify Islam, there will be only one degree between him
and the prophets in paradise.” Darimi transmitted it.
He also reported among the material he knew to come from God’s
messenger that he said, "At the beginning of every century God will
send one who will renew its religion for this people.” Abu Dawud
transmitted it.
