Musnad Abi Ya'la 7311 — the Prophet ﷺ said: Indeed, the example

وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « إِنَّ مَثَلَ مَا أَتَانِي اللهُ بِهِ مِنَ الْهُدَى وَالْعِلْمِ كَمَثَلِ غَيْثٍ أَصَابَ أَرْضًا ، فَكَانَتْ مِنْهَا طَائِفَةٌ طَيِّبَةٌ قَبِلَتِ الْمَاءَ ، فَأَنْبَتَتِ الْكَلَأَ وَالْعُشْبَ الْكَثِيرَ ، وَكَانَتْ مِنْهَا إِخَاذَاتٌ أَمْسَكَتِ الْمَاءَ ، فَنَفَعَ اللهُ بِهَا النَّاسَ ، فَشَرِبُوا مِنْهَا وَسَقَوْا وَزَرَعُوا ، وَأَصَابَتْ مِنْهَا طَائِفَةً أُخْرَى ، إِنَّمَا هِيَ قِيعَانٌ لَا تُمْسِكُ مَاءً وَلَا تُنْبِتُ كَلَأً ، فَذَلِكَ مَثَلُ مَنْ فَقُهَ فِي دِينِ اللهِ وَنَفَعَهُ مَا بَعَثَنِي اللهُ بِهِ ، فَعَلِمَ وَعَلَّمَ ، وَمَثَلُ مَنْ لَمْ يَرْفَعْ بِذَلِكَ رَأْسًا وَلَمْ يَقْبَلْ هُدَى اللهِ الَّذِي أُرْسِلْتُ بِهِ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, the example of the guidance and knowledge with which Allah Almighty has sent me is like that of heavy rain which fell on land. One piece of land, which was good and fertile, absorbed the water and brought forth abundant fodder and green grass. Another part of the land was hard and held the water, so Allah Almighty benefited people through it: they drank from it themselves, gave others water to drink and farmed. And part of the rain fell on barren plains of land which neither hold water nor grow vegetation. That is the example of the one who gains understanding of the religion of Allah and benefits from the knowledge with which Allah has sent me, so he learns himself and teaches others too; and the example of the one who does not even raise his head towards it and does not accept the guidance of Allah with which I have been sent."
