ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الدَّالِّ عَلَى أَنَّ عُلَمَاءَ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ يَكُونُونَ أَعْلَمَ مِنْ عُلَمَاءِ غَيْرِهِمْ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A time is soon to come when a person will strike the livers of camels in search of knowledge, but he will not find a scholar more knowledgeable than the scholar of Madinah." Abu Musa said, "I heard from Ibn Juraij that he used to say, 'We consider Malik ibn Anas to be the most knowledgeable. I mentioned this to Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah, and he said, 'Indeed, a scholar is only someone who fears Allah, and we do not know anyone who fears Allah more than Al-Umari, who is the intended servant of Abdullah ibn Abdul Aziz.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَضْرِبَ الرَّجُلُ أَكْبَادَ الْإِبِلِ فِي طَلَبِ الْعِلْمِ فَلَا يَجِدُ عَالِمًا أَعْلَمَ مِنْ عَالِمِ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ» قَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى بَلَغَنِي عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ انْهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ نَرَى أَنَّهُ مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِسُفْيَانَ بْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا الْعَالِمُ مَنْ يخْشَى اللَّهَ وَلَا نَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا كَانَ أَخْشَى لِلَّهِ مِنَ الْعُمَرِيِّ يُرِيدُ بِهِ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ
