The Excellence of knowledge

Riyad as-Salihin (The Meadows of the Righteous)

Chapter: The Excellence of knowledge

Allah says,
“Say: ‘My Lord! increase me in knowledge,” (20:114) and He says, ”
Say: ‘Are they the same – those who know and those who do not know?”
(39:9)

The Almighty says,
“Allah will raise in rank those of you who believe and those who have been given knowledge,” (58:11) and the Almighty says,
“Only those of His slaves with knowledge have fear of Allah.” (35:28)

Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “Anyone who is asked for knowledge and conceals it, will be bridled with a bridle of Fire on the day of Rising.”
[Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi]

Ibn Mas’ud said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, ‘May Allah bless a man who hears something from me and transmits it as he heard it. Many a person to whom something is transmitted retains more than the person who first heard it.’”
[at-Tirmidhi]

Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “Anyone who learns knowledge which should be learned for the sake of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, only to obtain by it goods of this world, will not experience the scent of the Garden on the Day of Rising.”
[Abu Dawud]

The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
“Convey (my teachings) to the people even if it were a single sentence”
(Sahih Bukhari, Vol.4, Hadith 667)

May Allah bless the one who read it & try to memorize the hadith,
May Allah bless the one who share these hadiths too.
May Allah increase our knowledge.
Ameen.
