حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ زِيَادِ بْنِ أَنْعُمَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ؓ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَرَّ بِمَجْلِسَيْنِ فِي مَسْجِدِهِ، وَأَحَدُ الْمَجْلِسَيْنِ يَدْعُونَ اللهَ وَيَرْغَبُونَ إِلَيْهِ، وَالْآخَرُ يَتَعَلَّمُونَ الْفِقْهَ وَيُعَلِّمُونَهُ، فَقَالَ: كِلَا الْمَجْلِسَيْنِ عَلَى خَيْرٍ، وَأَحَدُهُمَا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ، أَمَّا هَؤُلَاءِ فَيَدْعُونَ اللهَ وَيَرْغَبُونَ إِلَيْهِ فَإِنْ شَاءَ أَعْطَاهُمْ وَإِنْ شَاءَ مَنَعَهُمْ، وَأَمَّا هَؤُلَاءِ فَيَعْلَمُونَ الْعِلْمَ وَيُعَلِّمُونَ الْجَاهِلَ فَهُمْ أَفْضَلُ، وَإِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُ مُعَلِّمًا " ثُمَّ جَلَسَ مَعَهُمْ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by two gatherings in his mosque. One of the gatherings was supplicating to Allah and seeking His favor, while the other was learning jurisprudence and teaching it. He said: "Both gatherings are upon good, but one of them is superior to the other. As for these, they call upon Allah and seek His favor; if He wills, He grants them, and if He wills, He withholds from them. As for those, they learn knowledge and teach the ignorant, and they are superior. I was sent only as a teacher." Then he sat with them.
