أَخي لَن تَنالَ العِلمَ إِلّا بِسِتَّةٍ * سَأُنبيكَ عَن تَفصيلِها بِبَيانِ

My brother, you will not gain knowledge except through six things. I will clearly explain them to you: ذَكاءٌ وَحِرصٌ وَاِجتِهادٌ وَبُلغَةٌ * وَصُحبَةُ أُستاذٍ وَطولُ زَمانِ Intelligence, eagerness, hard work, sufficient provision, the company of a teacher, and a long time.
