1️⃣7️⃣ Imaam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal said:

1️⃣9️⃣ ‘Abdullaah Ibn Mas’ood (رضي الله عنه) said:
“Whoever wants to follow an example, let him follow the example of those who have passed away, the Companions of Muhammad (ﷺ). They were the best of this ummah, the purest in heart, the deepest in knowledge, the least in sophistication. They were people whom Allaah chose to be the Companions of His Prophet (ﷺ) and to convey His religion, so imitate their ways and behaviour, for they were following the Straight Path.”
[Al-Baghawi in Sharh as-Sunnah]
2️⃣0️⃣ Haytham Ibn Jameel was asked:
“A man is well learned with regards to the affairs of the Sunnah, should he debate and argue about them?”

“No, however he should inform the people about the Sunnah, so if it is accepted from him then good and if not then he should keep silent.”
[Jaami’u Bayaan Al-‘Ilmi Wa Fadhlihi, 4/94]

“Whosoever alleges that Allaah does not speak, then he is a disbeliever. Verily we relay these narrations as they have come.”

“Follow and do not innovate, for everything has been taken care of, and you must follow the ancient way (i.e., of the Salaf).”
[Ad-Daarimi in his Sunan]
2️⃣3️⃣ Sufyaan Ath-Thawree said:
“The excellence of knowledge is due only to the fact that it causes a person to fear and obey Allaah, otherwise it is just like anything else.”
[Related by ibn Rajab]

“I left Baghdaad, and I did not leave behind me a man better, having more knowledge, or greater fiqh (understanding), nor having greater taqwaa (piety) than Ahmad Ibn Hanbal.”
