وَقَالَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ؓ قَالَ:
دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْمَسْجِدَ وَقَوْمٌ يَذْكُرُونَ اللهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى، وَقَوْمٌ يَتَذَاكَرُونَ الْفِقْهَ، فَقَالَ ﷺ: كِلَا الْمَجْلِسَيْنِ عَلَى خَيْرٍ، أَمَّا الَّذِينَ يَذْكُرُونَ اللهَ تَعَالَى وَيَسْأَلُونَ رَبَّهُمْ فَإِنْ شَاءَ أَعْطَاهُمْ وَإِنْ شَاءَ مَنَعَهُمْ، وَهَؤُلَاءِ يُعَلِّمُونَ النَّاسَ وَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ، وَإِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُ مُعَلِّمًا وَهَذَا أَفْضَلُ فَقَعَدَ ﷺ مَعَهُمْ

✧ The Prophet ﷺ entered the mosque while a group was remembering Allah, Blessed and Exalted, and a group was discussing fiqh. He ﷺ said: “Both gatherings are upon good. As for those who remember Allah Almighty and ask their Lord, if He wills He gives them, and if He wills He withholds from them. And these teach the people and learn. I was only sent as a teacher, and this is better.” Then he ﷺ sat with them.
