Mishkat al-Masabih #207
Knowledge
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَقِيهٌ وَاحِدٌ أَشَدُّ عَلَى الشَّيْطَانِ مِنْ أَلْفِ عَابِدٍ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَابْن مَاجَه)
Ibn ‘Abbas reported God’s messenger as saying, “One faqih has
more power over the devil than a thousand devout men.” Tirmidhi and
Ibn Majah transmitted it.
