باب الاِغْتِبَاطِ فِي الْعِلْمِ وَالْحِكْمَةِ
And ‘Umar رضي الله عنه said, “Everyone must acquire sound religious knowledge early before he becomes a chief.” (Abu ‘Abdullah said:) The Companions of the Prophet ﷺ had studied in spite of the fact that they were old in age.
وَقَالَ عُمَرُ تَفَقَّهُوا قَبْلَ أَنْ تُسَوَّدُوا.
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ : وَبَعْدَ أَنْ تُسَوَّدُوا وَقَدْ تَعَلَّمَ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي كِبَرِ سِنِّهِمْ
