اُردوEn
وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِنَّ مَثَلَ مَا بَعَثَنِي اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِهِ مِنَ الْهُدَى وَالْعِلْمِ كَمَثَلِ غَيْثٍ أَصَابَ الْأَرْضَ، فَكَانَتْ مِنْهُ طَائِفَةٌ قَبِلَتْ فَأَنْبَتَتِ الْكَلَأَ وَالْعُشْبَ الْكَثِيرَ، وَكَانَتْ مِنْهَا أَجَادِبُ أَمْسَكَتِ الْمَاءَ فَنَفَعَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِهَا نَاسًا فَشَرِبُوا وَرَعَوْا وَسَقَوْا وَزَرَعُوا وَأَسْقَوْا، وَأَصَابَتْ طَائِفَةً مِنْهَا أُخْرَى، إِنَّمَا هِيَ قِيعَانٌ لَا تُمْسِكُ مَاءً وَلَا تُنْبِتُ كَلَأً، فَذَلِكَ مَثَلُ مَنْ فَقُهَ فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَنَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِمَا بَعَثَنِي بِهِ وَنَفَعَ بِهِ فَعَلِمَ وَعَلَّمَ، وَمَثَلُ مَنْ لَمْ يَرْفَعْ بِذَلِكَ رَأْسًا وَلَمْ يَقْبَلْ هُدَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الَّذِي أُرْسِلْتُ بِهِ))
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “The example of the guidance and knowledge with which Allah has sent me is like that of rain which falls upon the earth. A portion of the earth absorbs the water and brings forth abundant grass. Another portion is hard, it retains the water, and Allah benefits many people through it; so they drink, give drink to their animals, cultivate crops, and irrigate with it. Then the same rain falls upon another land which is barren; it neither retains the water nor grows grass. Thus, the first is the example of the person who gains understanding in the religion (i.e., understands and acquires knowledge of the religion), and Allah benefits him with what He has sent me with, and then he benefits others through it; so he himself acquires knowledge and teaches it to others. The latter is the example of the person who does not even raise his head (to accept knowledge and guidance), and does not accept the guidance of Allah with which He has sent me.”
