The Lofty Status of learning the Knowledge of Deen

عن أبي الدرداء قال سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم يقول من غدا يريد العلم يتعلمه لله فتح الله له بابا إلى الجنة وفرشت له الملائكة أكنافها وصلت عليه ملائكة السموات وحيتان البحر وللعالم من الفضل على العابد كالقمر ليلة البدر على أصغر كوكب في السماء والعلماء ورثة الأنبياء إن الأنبياء لم يورثوا دينارا ولا درهما ولكنهم ورثوا العلم فمن أخذه أخذ بحظه وموت العالم مصيبة لا تجبر وثلمة لا تسد وهو نجم طمس موت قبيلة أيسر من موت عالم رواه أبو داود والترمذي وابن ماجه وابن حبان في صحيحه وليس عندهم موت العالم إلى آخره ورواه البيهقي واللفظ له من رواية الوليد بن مسلم (الترغيب والترهيب 1/139)

Hadhrat Abu Dardaa (Radhiyallahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “The one who proceeds in the morning to seek the knowledge of Deen, and learn it for the sake of Allah Ta’ala, Allah Ta’ala opens a door for him towards Jannah and the angels spread out their wings for him. The angels in the sky and the fish in the ocean seek forgiveness on his behalf; and the virtue of an Aalim over an Aabid is like the superiority of the moon on the fourteenth night over the smallest star in the sky. The Ulama are the heirs of the Ambiyaa. The Ambiyaa did not leave behind Dinaars and Dirhams (in their legacy), rather they left behind the knowledge of Deen. Whoever has acquired it, really he has acquired his share (of Allah’s bounties). And the death of an Aalim is a loss that cannot be recovered, a deficiency that cannot be patched up, and a star, the light of which has been extinguished. The death of an entire tribe is lighter than the death of one Aalim.”

Receiving Seventy Rewards

Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) reported, “Whoever sends salutations upon Nabi (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) once, Allah Ta‘ala and His angels will send seventy mercies and blessings upon him in return of his one Durood. Hence, whoever wishes to increase his Durood should increase it, and whoever wishes to decrease his Durood should decrease it (i.e. if he wants to earn great rewards, then he should increase his Durood).”
