Chapter: The Virtue of Knowledge and the Scholar
Sunan ad-Darimi 333 — The Virtue of Knowledge and the Scholar
أَخْبَرَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُنْذِرٌ هُوَ ابْنُ النُّعْمَانِ، عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ، قَالَ: "مَجْلِسٌ يُتَنَازَعُ فِيهِ الْعِلْمُ، أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ قَدْرِهِ صَلَاةً، لَعَلَّ أَحَدَهُمْ يَسْمَعُ الْكَلِمَةَ فَيَنْتَفِعُ بِهَا سَنَةً، أَوْ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ عُمُرِهِ".
Wahb bin Munabbih said: In my view, a gathering in which there is discussion about knowledge is more beloved and preferable to me than an equivalent amount of prayer, because perhaps someone may hear a word from it that will benefit him for a year or for the rest of his life.
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadiths 330 to 333)
This means that learning and teaching knowledge is better than voluntary (nafl) prayer, as its benefit extends to other people, whereas prayer is only beneficial for oneself.
