The Shaykh’s remarks on the hadith: “Indeed, Satan runs through the son of Adam as blood runs, so narrow his pathways through hunger.”

The Shaykh : And to confirm that, there is a hadith in the book “Ihya' 'Ulum al-Din” whose first part is valid and whose last part is invalid, having no basis. As for the first, valid part, it is his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) This is the valid part. Added in al-Ihya' And among the errors of some scholars, from which no scholar on the face of the earth is safe, is that this addition appeared even in some of the books of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah. This reminds the student of knowledge that a person remains a scholar as long as he remains a seeker of knowledge, because no one is born a scholar. Thus, when we review the books of scholars who wrote extensively, we find differences between one work and another, and between one research and another, and that is the Sunnah of Allah in His creation. For when a person is a youth, he begins to seek knowledge, then he continues to grow and increase in knowledge day after day until he reaches one of the ranks of the people of knowledge. But even so, he remains in need, and in need, in accordance with the saying of Allah the Exalted .
