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.”
