Mu’āwiyah
b. Qurrah reports that Abū Al-Dardā` used to say, “We ask Allāh for a lasting
faith (īmān), true certainty and beneficial knowledge.”Mu’āwiyah b. Qurrah then
said, “So this indicates that there is a type of faith that does not last, and
a type of certainty that is not true, and a type of knowledge that is not
beneficial.”
Ibn Battah, Al-Ibānah Al-Kubrā Vol. 2 p498.
