The following is a chapter from Shaikhul-Islaam Abu Ismaa`eel Al-Harawee’s (rahimahullaah, 396 – 481H): “The Book Of Forty Narrations In The Evidences Of Tawheed”
This compilation is an amazing series of narrations in the establishment of the Tawheed of Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, especially in the arena of the Names and Attributes that has left the Jahmiyyah and their offspring such as the Ashaa`irah and Maatureedees dumbstruck just as Allaah has said:
وَقُلْ جَاءَ الْحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ الْبَاطِلُ ۚ إِنَّ الْبَاطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوقًا
“And say: ‘The Truth has come and falsehood has been vanquished. Surely! Falsehood is ever bound to be wiped out.'” (Al-Israa 17:81)
Chapter (3): The Immense Sin Upon The One Who Conceals Knowledge
Abu Ismaa`eel Al-Harawee (481H) with his chain of narration to Abdullaah Ibn `Amr (radiyallaahu `anhu) that Allaah’s Messenger (salallaahu `alaihi wassallam) said:
“Whoever conceals knowledge Allaah will bridle him with a bridle of fire [on the Day of Resurrection].”
(Saheeh: Reported by Al-Haakim in Mustadrak, Kitaabul-`Ilm 1/102 – see attached scan for the Arabic text and complete referencing by Shaikh `Alee Naasir Al-Faqeehee, hafidhahullaah)
