«فضل العالم على العابد كفضلي على أدناكم إن الله عز وجل وملائكته وأهل السموات والأرض حتى النملة في جحرها وحتى الحوت ليصلون على معلم الناس الخير»
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"The superiority of the scholar over the worshipper is like my superiority over the lowest of you. Indeed, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, His angels, and the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth, even the ant in its hole and even the fish, send blessings upon the one who teaches people what is good."
