Shaykh Bakr
Aboo Zayd (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
“Occasionally
revise your knowledge from time to time because lack of revision is a sign of
forgetting knowledge under any circumstances. Abdullaah Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah
be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu
alayhi wa sallam) said: “The example of the carrier of the Qur’aan is
like no other than the owner of a camel whose [camel’s] feet are bound by a
cord; if he guards over it, he will keep it under control, but if he releases
it, it will run away.”[1]
Al-Haafidh
Ibn Abdil-Barr said: “In this hadeeth is a proof that whosoever does not revise
his knowledge will lose it, whoever he may be because their knowledge at that
time was the Qur’aan and nothing else, and if the Qur’aan which has been made
easy to remember is lost without revision, then what about other types of
knowledge?! And the best type of knowledge is that of which its foundation is
perfected and its branches are memorized, and that which leads to Allaah and
that which pleases Him.” It was said by some [scholars]: “Every glory not
emphasized by knowledge then humiliation is its destiny.”[2]
