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.”

وَصِيّة علامّةِ الجَزائر الإمامُ عبدُ الحمِيد بنُ بادِيس:
« اِتّقُوا اللهَ، اِرحمُوا عِبادَ اللهِ، اِخدِمُوا العلمَ بِتعلّمهِ ونَشرهِ، وتَحمّلوا كلّ بلاءٍ ومشّقةٍ فِي سبيلِهِ، وليَهن علَيكُم كلّ عزيزٍ ولتَهُن عليكُم أرواحُكم مِن أجلهِ،أمّا الأمورُ الحُكوميّة ومَا يتّصل بهَا فدعُوهَا لأهلهَا، وإيّاكم أن تتَعرضّوا لهَا بشيءٍ ».

The will of the Algerian scholar, Imam Abdulhamid Ibn Badis:
"Fear Allah, have mercy on the servants of Allah, serve knowledge by learning it and spreading it, and endure every trial and hardship for its sake. Let every precious thing be light upon you, and let your lives be light upon you for its sake. As for governmental matters and what is related to them, leave them to their people, and beware of involving yourselves in them."
[The Works of Ibn Badis | 3/223]

*Impermissibility of Masturbation*
Shaykh Muḥaddith Irshād al-Ḥaqq al-Atharī حفظه الله said under his explanation of the āyah in sūrah al-muʾminūn:
*وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَـٰفِظُونَ ٥ إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزْوَٰجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَـٰنُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ ٦*
*[[And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts, from illegal sexual acts)*
*Except from their wives or (the slaves) that their right hands possess, - for then, they are free from blame;]]*
He said:
Ejaculating Through One's Hand (Masturbation):
"Likewise this āyah proves that *masturbation i.e. using your own hands to ejaculate semen is ḥarām.* The majority of the ʿulamāʾ are of the same position, some of them have even said that if there was any evidence to permit it, a person with a pure soul will avoid this lewdness. ʿAllāmah Qurṭubī رحمه الله has written that "Imām Aḥmad رحمه الله with his highest qualities of waraʿ and taqwā was of the opinion of it being allowed, he believed that

like venesection/phlebotomy or cupping is used to expel wastes from the body at times of need, then masturbation is also permitted at times of need" (Tafsīr al-Qurṭubī p. 105 v. 12)
"However this qiyās (analogy/reasoning) is *opposing the apparent naṣṣ (āyah) of the Qurʾān* because Allāh تعالى has lifted blame from only two ways of not protecting one's private parts [i.e. using them]. So apart from these two, all other ways that might be used, will be blameworthy in all cases. *Hence, diverting from this without any evidence is not permissible.* (Aḍwāʾ al-Bayān [of Imām Muḥammad al-Amīn al-Shinqīṭī رحمه الله] p. 526 v. 5)"
