The Cure for the Lethargy That Affects the Student of Knowledge

The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good. Honorable Shaykh, what is the cure for the lethargy that affects a student of knowledge in his pursuit of knowledge and his provision of Islamic knowledge?

The Shaykh:
And for that reason, we said that patience is necessary.

The presenter:
Okay, Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
And whoever does not taste the shade of learning for an hour will drink the cup of ignorance for the duration of his life, as Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said. So patience is necessary in enduring the hardship of seeking knowledge, endurance is necessary, and a long period of time is necessary.
And knowledge has no shore, but you take the best from every statement, the best from every statement. Indeed, knowledge is like a vast ocean, so take the best from every statement. So patience is necessary, a good intention is necessary. If a person has a good intention, it drives him to seek knowledge. What Allah willed. And when he tastes the flavor of knowledge, he delights in it. And he forgets the fatigue when he tastes its sweetness and flavor. Yes.
