Hadith 11

thing most Beloved to Himazwj, and it is a person’s intellect’. [16]
Ibn Al Waleed, from Al Saffar, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from one of his companions, ‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘A pillar of the human being is his intellect, and from the intellect is the cleverness, and the understanding, and the memorisation, and the knowledge. So when his intellect is supported by the Noor (Divine Light), he would be a scholar, a memoriser, an intellectual, clever, understanding; and by the intellect he is perfect, and it is his pointer and his insight and a key to his affairs’. [17]
Haroun, from Ibn Sadaqa, ‘From Ja’farasws Bin Muhammadasws having said: ‘Surely, Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted Hated the ignorant old man, and the unjust rich one, and poor self-conceited one’. [18]
My father, from Ahmad Bin Idrees, from Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Hasaan, from Abu Muhammad Al Razy, from Al Husayn Bin Yazeed, from Ibrahim Bin Bakr Bin Abu Samak, from Al Fazal Bin Usman who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘One who was an intellectual, the ending for him would be in the Paradise, Allahazwj Willing’. [19]
By this chain, from Abu Muhammad, from Ibn Umeyr, from Is’haq Bin Ammar who said, ‘Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘One who was an intellectual, there would be Religion for him, and one for who there is Religion, would enter the Paradise’. [20]
My father, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from a man from Hamdan, from Ubeydullah Bin Al Waleed Al Wasafy, ‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Musa Bin Imranas saw a man from the Children of Israel prolonging his prostration and prolonging his silence, so heas almost immediately went over to him and was with him. When it was from the days he was in one of his needs, he passed by a land which was plush with grass and scenic’. Heasws said: ‘The man wept, so Musaas said to him: ‘What are you crying upon? ’ He said, ‘I wish there would happen to be a donkey for my Lordazwj, I could pasture it over here! ’’
Heasws said: ‘Musaas looked down at the ground for a long while, gloomy at what heas heard from him’. Heasws said: ‘Then Revelation came down unto himas and Heazwj Said to himas: “What is that which you find grievous from the speech of Myazwj servant? Iazwj Seize Myazwj servants upon a measurement of what Iazwj Give them from the intellect”’. [21]
One of our companions raised it, said, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Allahazwj has not Distributed among the servants anything more superior than the intellect. Thus, the sleep of the intellectual is superior than the vigil of the ignorant, and eating of the intellectual is superior than the Fasting of the ignorant, and the standing (in Salat) of the intellectual is superior than the focussing of the ignorant. And Allahazwj did not Send a Rasoolas, nor a Prophetas until Heazwj Perfected hisas intellect, and hisas intellect happened to be superior than the intellect of the entirety of hisas community, and what the Prophetas conceals within himselfas is superior than the striving of the strivers. And the intellectual does not perform the Obligations of Allahazwj until he understands from it, nor do the entirety of the worshippers reach in the merits of their worship what the intellectual reaches. The intellectuals, they are the ones of understanding about whom Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said: But rather, the ones with the understanding will be mindful [13: 19]. [22]
One of our companions raised it, ‘Heasws said: ‘Do not care about the one from the people of this Religion, one who has not intellect for him’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws! We came to a people, from the one who are described to be on this matter (Wilayah), there was no problem with them, there wasn’t for them, that (kind of) intellect’. So heasws said: ‘Those aren’t from the one whom Allahazwj Addressed in Hisazwj Words: O ones of understanding, [5: 100]. Allahazwj Created the intellect and Said to it: “Come! ” So it
