Gifts of Knowledge

Shaikh Muqbil ibn Haadi al-Waadi’i said, “Whoever learns a people’s language will be safe from their plots,” researchers sought out this hadith but did not find any basis for it, and even though its meaning is correct it is only allowed for us to attribute to the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ that which has actually been established [as having come] from him ﷺ.”
