أَخْبَرَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ دِينَارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ أُسَامَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي بُرَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ مَثَلَ مَا بَعَثَنِي اللهُ بِهِ مِنَ الْهُدَى وَالْعِلْمِ كَمَثَلِ غَيْثٍ أَصَابَ الْأَرْضَ فَكَانَتْ مِنْهَا طَائِفَةٌ قَبِلَتِ الْمَاءَ فَأَنْبَتَتِ الْكَلَأَ وَالْعُشْبَ الْكَثِيرَ وَكَانَتْ مِنْهَا أَجَادِبُ أَمْسَكَتِ الْمَاءَ فَنَفَعَ اللهُ بِهَا النَّاسَ فَشَرِبُوا مِنْهَا وَرَعَوْا وَسَقَوْا وَأَصَابَ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهَا أُخْرَى إِنَّمَا هِيَ قِيعَانٌ لَا تُمْسِكُ مَاءً وَلَا تُنْبِتُ كَلَأً فَذَلِكَ مَثَلُ مَنْ فَقُهَ فِي دِينِ اللهِ فَنَفَعَهُ مَا بَعَثَنِي اللهُ بِهِ وَنَفَعَ بِهِ فَعَلِمَ وَعَلَّمَ وَمَثَلُ مَنْ لَمْ يَرْفَعْ بِذَلِكَ رَأْسًا وَلَمْ يَقْبَلْ هُدَى اللهِ الَّذِي أُرْسِلْتُ بِهِ»

✧ From the Prophet ﷺ: He said: "Indeed, the example of the guidance and knowledge with which God sent me is like rain that falls on the earth. Some of it is good land that receives the water and produces abundant herbage and grass. Some of it is hard ground that holds the water, and God benefits people by it: they drink from it, give their animals to drink, and irrigate. And some of it is barren land that neither holds water nor produces herbage. That is the example of one who becomes learned in the religion of God, and he benefits from what God sent me with, and he learns and teaches; and the example of one who does not raise his head thereby and does not accept God's guidance with which I was sent."
