Al-Allaamah Muqbil Bin Haadi (rahimahullaah) said:
”Beware, Beware, O my children! That we nurture you as youngsters and the illegal partisans capture you when you are older. And if this becomes the case, it will be a loss upon you.”

of Shaikh Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhaab Al-Wassaabee]
From Maalik bin Dinaar, that a thief entered upon him but did not find anything to steal, whereby Malik called out to him: ‘You won’t find any worldly thing to take, however, do you desire something for the Hereafter?’ The Thief answered: ‘Yes.’ Malik said: ‘Make Wudu and pray two Rakah.’ So he did likewise, then Malik sat for a while and went out to the Masjid and the thief went with him. Malik was asked: ‘Who is this?’ He said: ‘He came to steal from us but we ended up stealing him.’ [Siyar ‘A’laam 4/190]

We’ve seen the Arabic text of this story, but the translator has not identified himself. Still waiting!
”Indeed, the believer has a good suspicion of his Lord and then (strives to) perfect his deeds. And indeed, the hypocrite has an evil suspicion of his Lord and then (engages) in evil deeds.”
”If my morning is like that of the foolish and my night is like that of the ignorant,
then what will I do with the knowledge I wrote down?”
[Source: Akhlaaq Al-Ulamaa’ of Imaam Al-Aajurree. Page: 44]
Al-Hasan Al-Basri (rahimahullaah) said:
”When a man used to seek knowledge, it did not take long before (the effect) was seen in his eyesight; in his fear of Allaah; on his tongue; on his hands; in his prayer and his abstinence from the lawful but unnecessary worldly things.”
إياكم أن تكتبوا عن أحد من أصحاب الأهواء ؛ قليلا ولا كثيرا
[كتاب السير (11/231)]
Imaam Ahmad (rahimahullaah) said:
”Beware of writing down (knowledge) from one of the people of desires—neither a little nor a lot.”
[Siyar 11/231]
قال سعيد بن عمرو البرذعي – رحمه الله
شهدت أبا زرعة سئل عن الحارث المحاسبي وكتبه ؛
: فقال للسائل
إياك وهذه الكتب هذه كتب بدع وضلالات
[كتاب الميزان (2/165) ]
Sa’eed Ibn Amr Al-Bardha’ee (rahimahullaah) said:
”I witnessed (when) Abu Zur’ah was asked about Haarith Al-Muhaasibee and his books; so he said to the questioner: Beware of these books; they are books of bidah and misguidance.”
[Al-Meezaan 2/165]
