Hadith #38909
وعن أبي موسى رضي الله عنه قال: قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم :
"مثل ما بعثني الله به من الهدى والعلم كمثل غيث أصاب أرضًا، فكانت منها طائفة طيبة قبلت الماء فأنبتت الكلأ، والعشب الكثير وكان منها أجادب أمسكت الماء، فنفع الله بها الناس، فشربوا منها وسقوا وزرعوا، وأصاب طائفة منها أخرى إنما هي قيعان لا تمسك ماء ولا تنبت كلأ فذلك مثل من فقه في دين الله ونفعه ما بعثني الله به وعلم، ومثل من لم يرفع بذلك رأسًا ولم يقبل هدى الله الذي أرسلت به" ((متفق عليه))
On the authority of Abu Musa, may God be pleased with him, he said: The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “The likeness of what God sent me with of guidance and knowledge is like a rain that struck the ground, and a portion of it was good. It accepted water and produced grass, and there was a lot of grass, and some of it was grassy, which held water, so God benefited the people with it, so they drank from it, watered, and planted, and struck another portion of it. But they are bottoms that do not hold water and do not grow pasture. This is a parable. From jurisprudence in the religion of God What God has sent me with and knowledge has benefited him, and the example of someone who does not raise his head for that and does not accept God’s guidance with which I was sent.” (Agreed upon)
