Narrated Abu Musa (ra): The Prophet (pbuh) said, “The example of guidance and knowledge with which Allah has sent me is like abundant rain falling on the earth, some of which was:
a. fertile soil that absorbed rain water and brought forth vegetation and grass in abundance.
b. (And)
another portion of it was hard and held the rain water and Allah
benefited the people with it and they utilized it for drinking, making
their animals drink from it and for irrigation of the land for
cultivation.
c. (And) a
portion of it was barren which could neither hold the water nor bring
forth vegetation (then that land gave no benefits).
The first is the example of the person
who comprehends Allah’s religion and gets benefit (from the knowledge)
which Allah has revealed through me (the Prophets) and second is he who learns and then
teaches others. The last example is that of a person who does not care
for it and does not take Allah’s guidance revealed through me (He is
like that barren land.)”
(Sahih Bukhari – Book #3, Hadith #79)
