Peace, one and all…
Abdullah ibn Wahb said, ‘Someone mentioned the quest for knowledge in the presence of Malik (ibn Anas), and Malik observed, ‘The quest for knowledge is beautiful, and expatiating on it is beautiful, so long as one’s intention in doing so is sound. But pay attention to what is required of you from the time you awake to the time you retire, and from evening until morning, and then prefer nothing over it’.
