A Story of How Knowledge Protects Praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the Worlds, to Him belong the endowments and proper comendations. May Allaah increase the honor of Prophet Muhammad ﷺraise his rank, and protect his nation from what he fears for it. History has it that, a misguided person was brought to Haaroon Ar-Rasheed. The misguided person claimed to be a Muslim while he was in reality an atheist. Hes intentions was to do a lot of harm the Deen. As a result, the caliph wanted to kill him; so, this deviant said to Haaroon Ar-Rasheed, If you want to kill me, Ill let you know. Guess what? I spread about 4,000 false hadeeths among the people and if you kill me, I will not tell you which ones they are. Haaroon Ar-Rasheed did not blink an eye. He said to this deviant, Well, there are 2 scholars of hadeeth with us and they would know how to protect the people from your falsehood. He had the deviant killed. Maa shaa Allaah. This incident shows the importance of knowledge and the ones who preserve it (the scholars). Knowledge protects. The enemy of Islaam had nothing to hold over the heads of the Muslims. The mischief that he spread cant in a bit phase the Muslim ruler because there were scholars who would extinguish it. Moreover, this misguided person could not even protect himself by using his treachery. AlHamdulillaahi Rabbil Aalameen. And May Allaah increase us in knowledge and grant us victory and success in every way. Aameen
