✧ Hamza with Nun
"إِنَّ الله تعالى جَعَلَ الْعِلمَ قبَضات ثُمَّ بَثَّهَا في الْبلَادِ. فإِذا سَمعْتُمْ بعَالم قدْ قُبضَ مِن الأرْضِ فقدْ رُفِعَتْ قبْضةٌ، فَلا يَزالُ يُقْبَض حَتَّى لا يبْقى مِنْهُ شيءٌ".

"Indeed Allah the Exalted made knowledge in handfuls, then scattered it in the lands. So when you hear of a scholar who has been taken from the earth, a handful has been lifted, and it continues to be taken until nothing of it remains."
