2681. Ibn 'Abbās narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The Faqīh is harder on Ash-Shaīṭān than a thousand worshippers." (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb, we do not know of it except through this route, as a narration of Al-Walīd bin Muslim.

Arabic text

٢٦٨١ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌رَوْحُ بْنُ جَنَاحٍ ، عَنْ ‌مُجَاهِدٍ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَقِيهٌ أَشَدُّ عَلَى الشَّيْطَانِ مِنْ أَلْفِ عَابِدٍ». هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ، وَلَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ.

Commentary

A dedicated worshipper who does not have firm knowledge, the benefit of his worship is restricted to his own self, and also it is easy for the Satan to misguide him; while a learned jurist does not only correct himself and is safe from the illusion of the Satan, but also he protects others against the plots, conspiracy and errors of the devil, and he guides them correctly by teaching the issues of religion.
