There one learns (1) that distance has a tale of its own (2)… and that the stagnation of knowledge is caused by over-familiarity (3).

He also said:
Are you asleep, oblivious to the books of hadith
and to what they contain from the Prophet about the religion?
To Muslim and al-Bukhari—those two who tightened the bonds of the Faith
through meticulous transmission and lucid explanation—
belongs the reward, the veneration and the praise,
far above every pronouncement born of Sahnun’s opinion.
O You who guided through them, make me like them:
a pure supporter of Your religion, untainted by temptation.

Ibn Hazm said, when discussing the chapter headings of Sahih al-Bukhari: “Some of them consist solely of a Qur’anic verse, because nothing else in that chapter is sound. Some, by the way they are titled, alert the reader that a hadith on the subject must be examined, even though it does not meet the criteria upon which he compiled his book. Some he heads, then cites a fragment of a hadith that he has recorded in full elsewhere. And some headings are phrased in the wording of a hadith that is not according to his condition, and in that chapter he mentions something conveying its meaning.”

He also said at the beginning of al-Ihkam (4): “To proceed… Allah has implanted within the human soul various faculties; among them is justice, which makes fairness attractive to it and endears to it adherence to the truth. The Exalted said: ‘Indeed, Allah commands justice’ (al-Nahl 90).”
