The People Of Knowledge
Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Raheem!
Imam Adh Dhahabi Rahimahullah mentions in his monumental book "Seer A'alaam an Nubalaa" Vol.8 P.406 on the authority of Abdullah Ibn Al Mubarak Rahimahullah (181H):
"The people of knowledge and insight do not consider themselves safe from four things:
1)A past sin he committed which he does not know what Allah will do with it (either forgive and pardon him for it or punish him with it);
2)What is left of His life, whether there is something therein waiting to destroy him;
3)A favour that Allah bestowed upon him, perhaps it is a plot which will lead him step by step to his eventual destruction and ruin;
4)Deviance which is beautified for him so that he sees it to be guidance and in a split second, his heart can deviate and he will be stripped of his deen and he doesn't even realize it."
