It is narrated from The Scholar (Al-'Alim) that he said: "Whoever is granted forty Hadiths, it is upon him to provide Zakat from them to those entitled to them."

Indeed, these seven commands, named the Pillars of Islam (Dawa'im al-Islam), and what is added to them of the boundaries, the commands, and the Outward Law—without which there is no path toward knowledge, and no final destination for anyone except through it—this is Islam. However, within these pillars, commands, and boundaries lie the Inwards of this Faith (Bawatin hadha al-Iman). There is no alternative to knowing them, clinging to them, and practicing religion according to their necessity, so that the one who performs this has indeed grasped both the Outward and the Inward as a whole. Whoever falls short in any aspect of the Outward (Zahir) or the Inward (Batin), his Islam is diminished accordingly.

The Scholar—to him be submission—said:

"None shall untie the knot except the one who tied it."

And he said:

"Whoever unties a knot tied by the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), the beasts shall eat him, the dogs shall maul him, the vermin shall consume him, and he shall return as a crude desert-dweller (A'rabiyan jalfa). He will find himself among a people who do not know Allah, thus becoming ignorant once more, and he might even deny you [your truth]. This saying is sufficient for you as a warning."
