أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْلَى حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ هُوَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَمِّهِ قَالَ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ سَلْمَانَ كَتَبَ إِلَى أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ
«أنَّ الْعِلْمَ كَالْيَنَابِيعِ يَغْشَاهُنَّ النَّاسُ فَيَخْتَلِجُهُ هَذَا وَهَذَا فَيَنْفَعُ اللَّهُ بِهِ غَيْرَ وَاحِدٍ وَإِنَّ حِكْمَةً لَا يُتَكَلَّمُ بِهَا كَجَسَدٍ لَا رُوحَ فِيهِ وَإِنَّ عِلْمًا لَا يُخْرَجُ كَكَنْزٍ لَا يُنْفَقُ مِنْهُ وَإِنَّمَا مَثَلُ الْعَالِمِ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ حَمَلَ سِرَاجًا فِي طَرِيقٍ مُظْلِمٍ يَسْتَضِيءُ بِهِ مَنْ مَرَّ بِهِ وَكُلٌّ يَدْعُو لَهُ بِالْخَيْرِ»

✧ “Knowledge is like springs that people come to; this one and that one draw from it, and Allah benefits many by it. A wisdom that is not spoken of is like a body without a soul. Knowledge that is not brought out is like treasure not spent from. The example of a scholar is like a man who carries a lamp on a dark road; whoever passes by benefits from its light, and everyone supplicates for him for good.”
