How to Attain Sincerity









As-Saree (may Allah have mercy on him) said:










لاَ تَعْمَلْ للِنَّاسِ شَيْئاً

Don't do anything for the sake of people!











وَ لاَ تَتْرُكْ لَهُمْ شَيْئاً

And don't stop doing things because of them!












وَ لاَ تُغَطِّ لَهُمْ شَيْئاً

And don't hide anything from them!












وَ لاَ تَكْشِفْ لَهُمْ شَيْئاً

And don't reveal anything to them!

As Salaamu 'alaikum! Jazak Allaah khair. I would just like to know something about As Saree inshallaah? Who was he? A sahabi, tabi'i, tabtabi'i, scholar, etc...? Jazak Allaah khair.

Imam Ahmad (Rahimahullah) was asked:

كيف الإخلاص في العلم؟
“How does one have sincerity while seeking knowledge?”

He replied:

الإخلاص فيه أن ينوي رفع الجهالة عن نفسه لأنه لا يستوي عالم وجهول
“Having sincerity while seeking knowledge is by making your intention to remove ignorance from yourself, because the one who is knowledgeable is not the same as the one who is ignorant”

barakallhu feekum, and Jazakallahulkhair for such a wonderful lesson on how to be a student of knowledge. I had been trying for so long and I think I must be making a mistaking in logging in.

Any Alhamdulillah I was able and by the blessing of Allah, this is the first lesson I read.

Jazakumullah
