 |  Subject: Two types of Knowledge  Mon Sep 07, 2009 3:17 am | |
| Shaykh al-Islaam lbn Taymiyyah states:
“...this is why it is said, ‘Knowledge is of two types: knowledge in
the heart and knowledge upon the tongue. The knowledge in the heart is
the beneficial knowledge and the knowledge upon the tongue is the proof
of Allaah upon His slaves” (This is a statement of al-Hasan al-Basree,
may Allaah have mercy upon him, and it is recorded by ad-Daarimee
(1/102). Shaykh al-Islaam mentioned this in al-Fataawa and attributed
it to al-Hasan, see: 7/23.) … so the faqeeh whose heart has acquired
understanding and enlightenment is not like the khateeb who addresses
with his tongue. The heart may attain great matters of knowledge and
understanding and its occupier may not speak of it to anyone.
Similarly, one may speak about many issues concerning the heart and its
states and the person may be at the same time void and bare of such
matters.
Dar’ at-Ta’aarud 7/453-454
