Shaikh Khaalid 'Abdur Rahmaan
Al Misree (hafithahullah) said, “Don't connect yourself
to a student of knowledge no matter how famous or popular he is and no matter how
enticed you are by his knowledge. Why? This is because this student is not from
those who are firmly grounded in knowledge. Rather, it is upon you (to stick
adamantly) to the Imaams who are firmly grounded in knowledge. If this student
agrees with those Imaams who are firmly grounded in knowledge (in Aqeedah,
Minhaj, Character etc), then benefit from him. However, if this student
contradicts those Imaams who are firmly grounded in knowledge then discard him
with a complete discarding; for verily, a sign of misery and misguidance is for
you to abandon that which the Imaams of Islam from the people of knowledge were
upon in every era.”
