Intelligence is the cure of the heart, the tool of the Mujtahidin (scholars), the seeds for the Hereafter’s harvest, the crown of the believer in this world and his preparation for any calamities. Whoever lacks intellect, then gaining power in the land will never increase him in honour, nor will wealth ever raise him in status. Indeed, there is no intelligence in the one who is heedless of his Akhira (Hereafter) because of the delights he finds in his Dunya and just as the worst of illness is Jahl (ignorance), the worst of poverty is lack of intellect.

— Abu Haatim ibn Hibban (rahimahullah) [Rawdhat al-‘Uqalaa’ wa Nuzhat al-Fudhalaa’]
