أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَرَّ بِمَجْلِسَيْنِ فِي مَسْجِدِهِ فَقَالَ «كِلَاهُمَا عَلَى خَيْرٍ وَأَحَدُهُمَا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ أَمَّا هَؤُلَاءِ فَيَدْعُونَ اللَّهَ وَيَرْغَبُونَ إِلَيْهِ فَإِنْ شَاءَ أَعْطَاهُمْ وَإِنْ شَاءَ مَنَعَهُمْ وَأَمَّا هَؤُلَاءِ فَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ الْفِقْهَ والعلمَ وَيُعَلِّمُونَ الْجَاهِلَ فَهُمْ أَفْضَلُ وَإِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُ مُعَلِّمًا» قَالَ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ فِيهِمْ

As for these, they call upon Allah and desire Him, so if He wills He gives them and if He wills He withholds from them.
