Ibn Hazam al-Andalusee (rahima-hullaah) mentions:
((A man who is a miser with his knowledge is worse than a man who is a miser with his money, for the money-miser is afraid of using up what he possesses but the knowledge-miser is being mean with something which does not get used up and is not lost when it is given away)).
al-Akhlaaq was-Siyar - Ibn Hazam al-Andalusee

Shaykh Abdul-Muhsin al-`Abbaad said:
"...true seeking of knowledge begins after a student graduates, and it is upon the student of knowledge to consider himself as just starting in seeking knowledge upon graduation"

How was the Hajj performed, before Al-Islaam?
The Hajj was from the well known customary actions of worship, which was performed before Al-Islaam. This action of worship however, has not changed except in a few areas. Like for example, the people of Makkah did not perform the standing of 'Arafah except in Muzdilifah (as the Hadith of Jaabir indicates). Likewise they used to depart from 'Arafah before the setting of the sun and did not leave Muzdilifah except after the sun had risen.
So the Prophet of Allaah-Sallaahu 'Alaihee Wasallam-differed from them in these actions. So he performed the standing of 'Arafah and did not depart from it up until after the sun had set. And he left Muzdilifah at first light and before the rising of the sun.
So he -Sallaahu 'Alaihee Wasallam- explained to the people the rites of Hajj and the people gained a good and complete understanding of this act of worship. As he -Sallaahu 'Alaihee Wasallam- used to say:
"Take from me your rites of Hajj."
So the people studied the Hajj and those who came after them, took this (knowledge of Hajj) from the Salaf and passed it on. Up until it was explained and made clear to the people and all praise is due To Allaah.
Along with this, even though one may find differences of opinion between the people of knowledge (regarding the Hajj), the scholar who is correct in his Ijtihaad (judgement) will get two rewards and the one who falls into error will get one reward.

كيف كان الحج قبل الاسلام؟ |
الحج من العبادات المعروفة المألوفة قبل الاسلام و ليس فيه تغير الا شيأً يسيراً مثل كون أهل الحرم لا يقفون وقوف عرفة الا بمزدلفة كما يدل عليه حديث جابر و كذلك كانو ينصرفون من عرفة قبل غروب الشمس ولا يدفعون من مزدلفة الا بعد شروقها فخالفهم النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم في ذلك فوقف بعرفة و لم يطلع منها الا بعد غروب الشمس و دفع من مزدلفة حينما أسفر جداً قبل أن تطلع الشمس. و بيّن للناس مناسكهم و فقه الناس في المناسك فقهاً كاملاً و كان يقول عليه الصلاة و السلام: " لتأخذوا عنّي منلسككم." فتعلم الناس الحج و نقله الخلف عن السلف و تلقاه الخلف عن السلف حتى أصبح بيناً واضحاً و لله الحمد. و ان كان وجد فيه بعض الاختلاف بين أهل العلم و هذا الاختلاف للمجتهد المصيب أجران والمجتهد المخطىء أجر واحد |
