Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

37393 - And he wrote to him: Knowledge is like springs, and Allah benefits with it whom He wills. The example of wisdom that is not spoken is like a body without a soul, and the example of knowledge that is not acted upon is like a treasure from which nothing is spent. The example of the scholar is like a man who lights a lamp on a road, so people use its light, and everyone prays for him. __QUR_N__ __XREF_N__ __REF_N__
