Once Imam Shaf’ee questioned his students, “What is the meaning of knowledge?” One of them replied, “It is to know,” another said, “It is ‘to recognize’.” Like this the other students said the different things they thought knowledge meant. Imam Shaf’ee remained in disappointment to the answers he received from his students. After some time, a student asked him, what he recalled the meaning of knowledge in which Imam Shaf’ee replied, “Knowledge is that light, which once it is gained; you cannot resist acting upon it, and until you don’t act upon it; you are not content. This is the meaning of knowledge, or else knowledge is a burden.”
