It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "People are like mines; thus, those (families and tribes) who were considered better in the time of ignorance are also better in the time of Islam, provided they attain understanding and comprehension in religion."
Hadith 246
عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((فَضْلُ الْعَالِمِ عَلَى الْعَابِدِ كَفَضْلِ الْقَمَرِ عَلَى سَائِرِ الْكَوَاكِبِ، إِنَّ الْعُلَمَاءَ هُمْ وَرَثَةُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ، لَمْ يَرِثُوا دِينَارًا وَلَا دِرْهَمًا وَإِنَّمَا وَرِثُوا الْعِلْمَ، فَمَنْ أَخَذَهُ أَخَذَ بِحَظٍّ وَافِرٍ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Darda’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The superiority of the learned person over the devout worshipper is like that of the moon over the rest of the stars. Indeed, the people of knowledge are the heirs of the noble Prophets; they did not leave behind dirhams and dinars as inheritance, rather they left knowledge. So whoever acquires knowledge has taken a full share from the Prophetic inheritance.”
