Imam Bukhari said...
One must strive to do four things:
1. Seek out knowledge
2. Seek only the countenance of Allah and His good pleasure
3. Act in accordance with the Book of Allah and spread knowledge among the students
4. Author works, so as to keep one's remembrance alive even after one's death.
One will not accomplish the above things without four things:
1. Knowledge of the Book of Allah
2. Knowledge of language
3. Knowledge of Sarf ( branch of knowledge in Arabic which deals with the study of words before they make their way into a sentence),
4. Knowledge of An nahwu (the study of words after they enter into a sentence, or in other words, the changes words undergo once they are written in sentences).
For this, one will need four things that are from the gift of Allah:
1. health
2. ability (and talent)
3. strong drive (to learn)
4. a retentive memory
If one is blessed with all of these things, four things will become easy for him (they will become insignificant in his eyes when compared to his greater purpose in life):
1. family,
2. children,
3. wealth
4. homeland.
One will be tested with four things:
1. Enemies who find satisfaction in his failure and mistakes
2. Friends who find fault with him;
3. Ignorant people who level accusations against him
4. Contemporary scholars who become jealous of him and of his achievements.
If he remains patient with four things, Allah will honour him with four things in this world:
1. Honour of being content with one's lot in this life
2. Aura of awe one inspires in others through one's profoundly deep faith in Allah
3. Sweet satisfaction of having and of studying knowledge
4. Eternal life, even after such a scholar dies, he will live on through the good works and knowledge he will have left behind
Allah will reward him with four things in the hereafter:
1. Option of interceding for whomsoever he wants from his Muslim brothers
2. Blessing with the shade of the Throne
3. able to drink from the Howdh of Rasool Allah sallahu alyihi wa sallam
4. Company of the prophets in the highest level of Paradise
