سمعتُ شيخنا د. عبدالباري في #مكتبة والده العلاَّمة #حماد_الأنصاري رحمه الله يقول:
كان الوالد يقول:

" العلمُ بالنقول لا بالعقول "

— د.عبدالرحمن العميسان (@Alomisan) January 22, 2016

I heard our Shaykh, Dr. ‘Abdul-Baaree رحمه الله in the library of his father, Shaykh Hammaad al-Ansaaree رحمه الله saying:

‘Knowledge is [attained] by way of [chains of] transmission, not by intellect.’
