Continuation of the Explanation, and he said: “Are those who know equal to those who do not know?”

The Shaykh : Allah the Exalted said: . This is a question that means negation, meaning that those who know are not equal to those who do not know. When negation comes in the form of a question, it becomes more emphatic because in this form it contains the meaning of a challenge, as if the speaker is saying, “If those who know are equal to those who do not know, then tell me who they are.” So when negation comes in the form of a question, it is more emphatic than a simple question, and when negation comes in the form of a question, it is more emphatic than a simple negation.
And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . This is part of the hadith of Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . It seems that the author (may Allah have mercy on him) extracted this portion from it, also in terms of meaning, because understanding in the religion is comprehension of it: understanding its rulings, its judgment, and its secrets. In this is glad tidings for the one whom Allah the Exalted has granted understanding in the religion, that Allah the Exalted wills good for him, so this becomes part of the immediate glad tidings of the believer. He said: It is said: “Devote all of yourself to knowledge, and some of it will come to you; but if you devote only part of yourself to knowledge, all of the knowledge will be lost to you”.

This is a proven matter. As for the person who reads like this, in a mere recitation without comprehension and without discussion, he does not benefit much.
And Abu Dharr said: . So “that I would convey” means he is saying that I will convey the knowledge. Abu Dharr says that I will convey the knowledge, even if you placed the sword, which is the sword, on my neck, for if I am able to convey a word I heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), I would convey it.
And Ibn Abbas said: : they are the wise and the jurists. The address “Be men of deep knowledge” is either to his Companions or to the general people. Be men of deep knowledge: the wise and the jurists. Wisdom is not rushing and not hastening in holding people accountable, and it applies to all things. So the wise person is the one who is deliberate in his affairs, and does not hasten or rush. As for jurists, that is clear. Who are the men of deep knowledge? He said, and it is said: “The man of deep knowledge, and it is said: the man of deep knowledge is the one who raises people with the small matters of knowledge before the large ones”. And it is said that the man of deep knowledge is the one who raises people with the small matters of knowledge before the large ones, meaning that he teaches people little by little and does not come to them with difficult knowledge that they do not understand, for they would not benefit from it at all. And it was said that the man of deep knowledge is the one who combines teaching and upbringing, and that he...
