Sheikh Ibn Baadees, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said,
‘We come to know the level of intelligence of an individual by knowing which books he reads. Such that the one that we do not see having a focus upon the books of the Sunnah, then indeed we do not consider his knowledge reliable in terms of understanding the religion.’
(From Athaar Sheikh Ibn Baadees , may Allaah have mercy upon him: vol.4 pg. 244) 1
