Imam Muhammad b. Sirin رحمة الله said:




Knowledge can only be obtained from the true trustworthy scholars, not just anyone who is eloquent in speech and narrates a few ḥadīth.
How many have gone astray due to the abandonment of Ahl al-ʿIlm, due to arrogance and ignorance, believing that taking from books alone will suffice. Rather books are in need of explanation by the Scholars in order that the lay person is able to distinguish between that which is authentic and that which is weak, and that which has been abrogated.
