أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ؓ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ:
" مَثَلُ مَا بَعَثَنِي اللهُ بِهِ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ وَالْهُدَى، كَمَثَلِ غَيْثٍ أَصَابَ الْأَرْضَ، فَكَانَتْ مِنْهَا طَائِفَةٌ قَبِلَتِ الْمَاءَ فَأَنْبَتَتِ الْعُشْبَ وَالْكَلَأَ الْكَثِيرَ، وَكَانَتْ مِنْهَا طَائِفَةٌ أَمْسَكَتِ الْمَاءَ فَيَنْفَعُ اللهُ بِهَا النَّاسَ فَشَرِبُوا وَرَعَوْا وَسَقَوْا، وَأَصَابَ طَائِفَةً أُخْرَى مِنْهَا الْمَاءُ إِنَّمَا هِيَ قِيعَانٌ لَا تُمْسِكُ مَاءً وَلَا تُنْبِتُ كَلَأً، فَذَلِكَ مَثَلُ مَنْ فَقُهَ فِي دِينِ اللهِ وَنَفَعَهُ مَا بَعَثَنِي اللهُ بِهِ وَانْتَفَعَ فَتَعَلَّمَ وَعَلَّمَ، وَمَثَلُ مَنْ لَمْ يَرْفَعْ بِذَلِكَ رَأْسًا وَلَمْ يَقْبَلْ هُدَى اللهِ الَّذِي أُرْسِلْتُ بِهِ

✧ "The example of the knowledge and guidance with which Allah sent me is like abundant rain that fell on the ground. Part of it was good soil that absorbed the water and brought forth herbage and abundant pasture. Part of it was hard ground that held the water, and Allah benefited people by it: they drank from it, let their animals graze, and irrigated. Another part of it was barren hollows that held no water and produced no pasture. That is the example of one who acquired understanding of the religion of Allah and was benefited by what Allah sent me with, so he learned and taught, and the example of one who did not raise his head to that and did not accept the guidance of Allah with which I was sent."
