    Chapter: The superiority of knowledge

    حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ “‏ مَثَلُ مَا بَعَثَنِي اللَّهُ بِهِ مِنَ الْهُدَى وَالْعِلْمِ كَمَثَلِ الْغَيْثِ الْكَثِيرِ أَصَابَ أَرْضًا، فَكَانَ مِنْهَا نَقِيَّةٌ قَبِلَتِ الْمَاءَ، فَأَنْبَتَتِ الْكَلأَ وَالْعُشْبَ الْكَثِيرَ، وَكَانَتْ مِنْهَا أَجَادِبُ أَمْسَكَتِ الْمَاءَ، فَنَفَعَ اللَّهُ بِهَا النَّاسَ، فَشَرِبُوا وَسَقَوْا وَزَرَعُوا، وَأَصَابَتْ مِنْهَا طَائِفَةً أُخْرَى، إِنَّمَا هِيَ قِيعَانٌ لاَ تُمْسِكُ مَاءً، وَلاَ تُنْبِتُ كَلأً، فَذَلِكَ مَثَلُ مَنْ فَقِهَ فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ وَنَفَعَهُ مَا بَعَثَنِي اللَّهُ بِهِ، فَعَلِمَ وَعَلَّمَ، وَمَثَلُ مَنْ لَمْ يَرْفَعْ بِذَلِكَ رَأْسًا، وَلَمْ يَقْبَلْ هُدَى اللَّهِ الَّذِي أُرْسِلْتُ بِهِ ‏” ‏‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ وَكَانَ مِنْهَا طَائِفَةٌ قَيَّلَتِ الْمَاءَ‏.‏ قَاعٌ يَعْلُوهُ الْمَاءُ، وَالصَّفْصَفُ الْمُسْتَوِي مِنَ الأَرْضِ‏.‏

    Narrated Abu Musa: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “The example of guidance and knowledge with which Allah has sent me is like
    abundant rain falling on the earth, some of which was fertile soil that absorbed rain water and brought
    forth vegetation and grass in abundance. (And) another portion of it was hard and held the rain water
    and Allah benefited the people with it and they utilized it for drinking, making their animals drink
    from it and for irrigation of the land for cultivation. (And) a portion of it was barren which could
    neither hold the water nor bring forth vegetation (then that land gave no benefits). The first is the
    example of the person who comprehends Allah’s religion and gets benefit (from the knowledge) which
    Allah has revealed through me (the Prophets and learns and then teaches others. The last example is
    that of a person who does not care for it and does not take Allah’s guidance revealed through me (He
    is like that barren land.)”

    Narrated `Abdullah bin `Abbas: Once Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) gave a letter to a person and ordered him to go and deliver it to the Governor of
    Bahrain. (He did so) and the Governor of Bahrain sent it to Chousroes, who read that letter and then
    tore it to pieces. (The sub-narrator (Ibn Shihab) thinks that Ibn Al-Musaiyab said that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
    invoked Allah against them (saying), “May Allah tear them into pieces, and disperse them all totally.)”

    Narrated Anas bin Malik: Once the Prophet (ﷺ) wrote a letter or had an idea of writing a letter. The Prophet (ﷺ) was told that they
    (rulers) would not read letters unless they were sealed. So the Prophet (ﷺ) got a silver ring made with
    “Muhammad Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)” engraved on it. As if I were just observing its white glitter in the hand
    of the Prophet.

    Narrated Abu Waqid Al-Laithi: While Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was sitting in the mosque with some people, three men came. Two of them
    came in front of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and the third one went away. The two persons kept on standing
    before Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) for a while and then one of them found a place in the circle and sat there while
    the other sat behind the gathering, and the third one went away. When Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) finished his
    preaching, he said, “Shall I tell you about these three persons? One of them betook himself to Allah,
    so Allah took him into His grace and mercy and accommodated him, the second felt shy from Allah,
    so Allah sheltered Him in His mercy (and did not punish him), while the third turned his face from
    Allah and went away, so Allah turned His face from him likewise. ”

    Narrated `Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Bakra’s father: Once the Prophet (ﷺ) was riding his camel and a man was holding its rein. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, “What is
    the day today?” We kept quiet, thinking that he might give that day another name. He said, “Isn’t it the
    day of Nahr (slaughtering of the animals of sacrifice)” We replied, “Yes.” He further asked, “Which
    month is this?” We again kept quiet, thinking that he might give it another name. Then he said, “Isn’t it
    the month of Dhul-Hijja?” We replied, “Yes.” He said, “Verily! Your blood, property and honor are
    sacred to one another (i.e. Muslims) like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours and in
    this city of yours. It is incumbent upon those who are present to inform those who are absent because
    those who are absent might comprehend (what I have said) better than the present audience.”

    prevents me from doing so, is that I hate to bore you, and no doubt I take care of you in preaching by

    religion. I am just a distributor, but the grant is from Allah. (And remember) that this nation (true
    Muslims) will keep on following Allah’s teachings strictly and they will not be harmed by any one
    going on a different path till Allah’s order (Day of Judgment) is established.”
