Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 19839a
"مَثَلُ مَا بَعَثَنِى اللهُ بهِ مِنَ الْهُدَى وَالْعِلْمِ، كَمَثَلِ الْغَيثِ الْكَثِيرٍ، أَصَابَ أَرْضًا، فَكَانَ مِنْها نَقِيَّةٌ قَبِلَتِ الْماءَ فأَنْبَتَتِ الْكَلأَ والْعُشْبَ الْكَثِيرَ، وَكَانَتْ مِنْهَا أَجَادِبُ أَمْسَكَتِ الْماءَ فَنَفَعَ اللهُ بِهَا النَّاسَ، فَشَربُوا مِنْهَا وَسَقَوا وَزَرَعوا، وَأَصابَ طَائِفَةً مِنْهَا أُخْرى إِنَّما هى قِيعَانٌ لَا تُمْسِكُ مَاءً، وَلَا تُنْبِتُ كَلأ، فَذلِكَ مَثَلُ مَنْ فَقُهَ فِي دِينِ اللهِ ونَفَعَهُ مَا بَعَثَنى اللهُ بِهِ فَعَلم وَعَلَّمَ، ومَثَلُ مَنْ لَمْ يَرْفَعْ بِذلِكَ رَأْسًا، وَلَمْ يَقْبَلْ هُدَى اللهِ الَّذِي أُرسلْتُ بِهِ".
Translation

"The example of the guidance and knowledge with which Allah sent me is like abundant rain that fell on land. Some of it was fertile, accepted the water, and grew abundant grass and herbage. Some of it was hard ground that held water, so Allah benefited people with it: they drank from it, gave drink, and cultivated. And it fell on another part of the land, which was only barren plains that hold no water and grow no grass. That is the example of one who acquires understanding in the religion of Allah and benefits from what Allah sent me with, so he learns and teaches; and the example of one who does not raise his head to that and does not accept the guidance of Allah with which I was sent".
