قَالَ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّٰهُ: يَنْبَغِي لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يُكْرِهَ وَلَدَهُ عَلَى الْعِلْمِ، فَإِنَّهُ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْهُ

Sufyān ath-Thawrī (may Allāh have mercy upon him) said:

“It is befitting for a man to persuade his child to acquire knowledge because he will be asked about this.”
