Reminder for those seeking knowledge

[M. Siddiqi]

Ibn Mas'ud –(radiallaahu 'anhu) – would advise his students, "If your intention is one of these three, do not seek knowledge: To shame the ignorant, or to argue with the Fuqahaa' (scholars), or to cause people to turn their faces in your direction. Intend with your actions and words that which is with Allaah, for indeed that which is with Allaah shall remain and everything else shall perish."

Ok, suppose a person (Muslim) has the love and the interest of gaining Islamic knowledge, so is this also for the sake of Allah?

[Abu 'Abdullaah]

Insha'Allaah, the student will learn for the sake of Allaah, but it depends on the intention as posted above.
