Ibnul Mubaarak (rahimhullah) said:

“The first (stage) of knowledge is the intention, then listening, then understanding, then memorisation, then action, then dissemination.”

Imam Sa’dī:

It’s beneficial for you to know that when people wrong you, specifically with evil statements, it does not harm you but harms them, unless you busy yourself by paying attention to it, and allow it to dominate your thoughts

Nooniyah al Qahtaani-

وزرعت لي بين القلوب مودة والعطف منك برحمة وحنان ونشرت لي في العالمين محاسنا وسترت
عن أبصارهم عصياني

And You have planted love for me between hearts, and the inclination from you is by way of mercy and affection.

وجعلت ذكري في البرية شائعا حتى جعلت جميعهم إخواني والله لو علموا قبيح سريرتي لأبى
السلام علي من يلقاني

And You have made my reputation amongst the people widespread until You made them all my brothers by Allāh, had they known the ugliness of my inner self, whoever met me would have refused to greet me.

عن نعيم بن حماد قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ رحمه الله لَا يَزَالُ الْمَرْءُ عَالِمًا مَا طَلَبَ الْعِلْمَ فَإِذَا ظَنَّ أَنَّهُ قَدْ عَلِمَ فَقَدْ جَهِلَ

وفي رواية أخرى قِيلَ لابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ إِلَى مَتَى تَطْلُبُ الْعِلْمَ قَالَ حَتَّى الْمَمَاتِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَعَلَّ الْكَلِمَةَ الَّتِي تَنْفَعُنِي لَمْ أَكْتُبْهَا بَعْدُو

Nu’aym ibn Hammad reported: Ibn al-Mubarak, may Allah have mercy on him, said, “A man will continue to have knowledge as long as he is seeking knowledge. If he assumes that he has knowledge, he has become ignorant.”

In another narration, it was said, “For how long will you seek knowledge?” Ibn al-Mubarak said, “Until death, if Allah wills. Perhaps the words that will benefit me have not yet been written.”
