As for the evidence of the excellence of learning the son of Abbas, a companion
of the Prophet – may Allah praise and venerate him – said: “I was humbled when
I sought knowledge, then I was elevated when the people sought knowledge
from me.” He also said: “I would rather spend a part of the night in learned
discussion than in continual prayer.”
Abu El Darda‟a said: “To learn something is more favorable to me than to stand
all night in prayer.” And he also said: “Be among the learned or one who learns,
or one who listens, and do not be the exception or you will be lost.” He said:
“Whoever sees that striving for knowledge is not a Jihad, his mind and opinion
are lacking.”
The Excellence of Teaching
The excellence of teaching is witnessed in the Koran, Allah, the Almighty said:
“…and when they return to their people warn them in order that they may
beware.” (Koran Ch. 9 verse 122)
