Acquire knowledge, it enables its professor to distinguish right from wrong; it lights the way to heaven. It is our friend in the desert, our company in solitude and companion when friendless. It guides us to happiness, it sustains us in misery, it is an ornament amongst friends and an armour against enemies." (widely attributed to the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh))

‘Abdullaah bin Zayd An-Numayri reports that Al-Hasan Al-Basri said:

“They (the heretics) were destroyed by their inability in Arabic.”

[Al-Bukhaari, At-Taareekh Al-Kabeer 5/99.]

And al-Imaam Ash-Shaafi’i said:

“People didn’t become ignorant and didn’t differ amongst themselves except because they left Arabic and leaned towards the language of Aristotle.”

[Quoted by As-Suyuti in Sawn Al-Mantiq p15.]

As-Suyuti said on p22 of the same book:

“I have found that the Salaaf before Ash-Shaafi’i indicate what he did: that the cause of heresy is ignorance of the Arabic language.”
