”العامل على غير علم كالسالك على غير طريق، والعامل على غير علم يُفسد أكثر مما يُصلح، فاطلبوا العلم طلباً لا يضر بالعبادة، واطلبوا العبادة طلباً لا يضر بالعلم، فإن قوماً طلبوا العبادة وتركوا العلم، حتى خرجوا بأسيافهم عى أُمة محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم، ولو طلبوا العلم لم يدلهم على ما فعلوا.“

Translation

The one who acts without knowledge is like a wayfarer without a way, and such a person ruins more than he fixes. Therefore seek knowledge, in a way that doesn’t harm your worship, and seek worship, in a way that doesn’t harm your knowledge seeking, for there was a nation that sought worship and neglected knowledge, until they went out with their swords against the ummah (nation) of Muhammad peace be upon him. Had they sought knowledge, it wouldn’t have led them to what they did.
