Three Precious statements of Imaam Muqbil on Knowledge, Clinging to the Sunnah, Pride….
Imaam Muqbil (rahimahullaah) said:
”Inshaa-Allaah, we will seek knowledge until we die.”
He (rahimahullaah) said:
”We will not abandon the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallaam) even if we were to bite onto it with our teeth.”
He (rahimahullaah) said:
”Pride is from the greatest affairs that diverts a person from good. He (The Most High) said: [سَأَصْرِفُ عَنْ آيَاتِيَ الَّذِينَ يَتَكَبَّرُونَ فِي الأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ]—”I shall turn away from My Ayat (verses of the Qur’an) those who behave arrogantly on the earth, without a right.” [Al-Araaf: Ayah: 146]. The proud person is detested by the people even if he heaps a kilo basket of gold for them.”
