Imam Malik ibn Anas stated "Knowledge is not to be taken from four types of people"

[Shehzad Sattar]

Imam Malik ibn Anas stated "Knowledge is not to be taken from four types of people:

❶ A foolish person who openly acts foolish, even if he reports the most narrations;

❷ An adherent of bid’ah who calls to his desires;

❸ A person who lies, even if I don’t accuse him of lying in regard to Hadith;

❹ A righteous and pious worshiper who does not accurately retain what he narrates.”
