Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that a man asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): O Messenger of Allah! Which deed is the best? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "Knowledge." He said: O Messenger of Allah! I am asking you about action, while you are telling me about knowledge? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, a little action with much knowledge is plentiful, and much action with ignorance is little."
