Knowledge Leads to Fear of Allaah

On the authority of Masrooq (with an authentic chain of narration) who said:

"It is sufficient for a man that he possesses of knowledge that which leads him to fear Allaah. And it is sufficient (i.e. against a man) that his ignorance leads him to become amazed with the knowledge that he possesses."

- Abu Khaythamah in Kitaab Al-'Ilm (#15)
