Beneficial knowledge
Ibn Abee Shaybah رحمه
اللهreported in
Kitaab Al-Imaan & also in Al-Musannaf that Abu Dardaa رضي اللّه عنـه always
use to supplicate saying:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ إيمَانًا دَائِمًا
وَعِلْمًا نَافِعًا وَهَدْيًا قَيِّمًا
‘O Allaah! I ask you for abiding Imaan, beneficial knowledge & upright guidance.’
Mu-aawiyyah Ibn Qurra رحمه الله transmitted this
narration from Abu Dardaa & then said: “Because there is Imaan that is
not abiding, knowledge that is not beneficial & guidance that is not
upright.”
