Ignorance was Declared a Sickness, its Remedy is to Ask the Scholars - Hasan as-Somali

On the 17th April 2020, Hasan as-Somali (hafidhahullah Ta'ala)) continued teaching the explanation of the famous work: The Disease and its Cure by ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah Ta'ala).  The audio was found on the Germantown Masjid Mixlr account and the title is mine.

Ibn al-Qayyim) (rahimahullah Ta'ala) states:  "The Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) declared ignorance to be an illness, to be a sickness.  He (sallallaahu aliahi wa sallam) declared that the remedy is to ask the scholars." 

Imam Abu Dawud (rahimahullah) collected in his Sunan, from the hadeeth that was narrated from Jaabir ibn Abdilllah (radiAllahu anhu), who said: "We went out for a journey and a man who was with us was struck by a stone. This stone, it left a gash in his head. The man had a wet dream.  He asked his companions, saying to them, "Do you see that I have a concession to perform Tayammum?"  They responded, "We do not hold that you have and concession and you are able to use water." The man he performed ghusl and he died.  When we went to the Messenger (sallalllaahu alaihi wa sallam), the Messenger (sallalllaahu alaihi wa sallam) was told what had happened. He sallalllaahu alaihi wa sallam) said: "They have killed him, may Allah kill them!  Why did they not ask, if they did not know? For indeed, the cure for ignorance is to ask?!  It was sufficient for this man (the one who was wounded) to make tayammum or tie on his wound a bandage and then wipe over it and wash the rest of his body." [Declared the hadeeth as being sound by al-Albaanee, until he should tie on his wound, until the end].

Now, go and listen to the audio that has been digitally edited. There are numerous benefits contained within it, barak Allahu feekum!
