It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O people, acquire knowledge before it is taken away. The scholar and the student are partners in the reward, and there is no good in the rest of the people."
