Asceticism toward the books of the Sunnah on the claim of a lack of scientific foundation

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, some students of knowledge disdain the books of the Sunnah, except for those of Dhakir and 'Abdullah ibn Ahmad, and they say there is no scholarly foundation in them. What is your opinion?

Answer:
This is a correct statement if there is no scholarly foundation in the words of the scholars of knowledge, then who is there to provide the foundation? These claimants of knowledge? Have you not seen that the value of a sword is diminished when it is said that the sword is sharper than a stick? These people are measured by the scholars of knowledge, and their words are taken as a measure for the scholars of knowledge. Is my statement that they are ignorant or closed-minded? They are ignorant; it does not come, a compound ignorance does not come, and it does not come that it does not come, so he is called a scholar. And what is the scholarly foundation? Is the scholarly foundation the past and the Sunnah?
Stronger than that is the Book and the Sunnah, so the books of the scholars of knowledge, and praise be to Allah, are built upon the Book and the Sunnah, and that is stronger. But this person is either ignorant or closed-minded. He diverts people from the books of the scholars of knowledge and the people of correct creed. And how many of this type are there? Of the malicious. Yes.
