What is your advice for someone who has recently begun seeking knowledge but opposes the great scholars?

The questioner : I seek Allah's forgiveness. I hope my perception is misplaced, but I find that some students of knowledge are young in age, and generally they are good, praise be to Allah. However, you find that after four or five years, for example, in the science of hadith, he tries to build himself up by opposing so-and-so, or opposing Al-Albani. Or in fiqh, he opposes, or even opposesThe Shaykh : 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Baz and Ibn Uthaymeen. I am afraid of this phenomenon, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : We are men, and they are men.
The questioner : Who said that? But answer them, O Shaykh. One person said, "They are men, and you are the Dajjal." Because once the issue was about the Companions, and the discussion started and proceeded regarding the Companions, he said, "They are men, and you are the Dajjal." So this observation, just a few days ago, I was discussing with a student of knowledge, may Allah reward him with good, who is interested in this aspect. He said to one of the brothers, "But he opposes Al-Albani, or differs with Al-Albani." The issue became that so-and-so differs withThe Shaykh : 'Abd al-'Aziz, and so-and-so differs withThe Shaykh : Ibn Uthaymeen.
Al-Halabi : It is as if it has now become a ladder for achieving desires.
The Shaykh : The love of showing off cuts off showing off.
The questioner : By Allah, I liked this phrase; it reached me from you.
The Shaykh : And this is a plague of youth in the present time, except for those whom Allah protects, and they are few. So we seek help from Allah, we seek help from Allah.
The Shaykh : We are men, and they are men.
