Hadith 360
أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ زِيَادِ بْنِ أَنْعُمَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، مَرَّ بِمَجْلِسَيْنِ فِي مَسْجِدِهِ، فَقَالَ: "كِلَاهُمَا عَلَى خَيْرٍ، وَأَحَدُهُمَا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ، أَمَّا هَؤُلَاءِ فَيَدْعُونَ اللَّهَ، وَيَرْغَبُونَ إِلَيْهِ، فَإِنْ شَاءَ أَعْطَاهُمْ، وَإِنْ شَاءَ مَنَعَهُمْ، وَأَمَّا هَؤُلَاءِ فَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ الْفِقْهَ وَالْعِلْمَ، وَيُعَلِّمُونَ الْجَاهِلَ، فَهُمْ أَفْضَلُ، وَإِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُ مُعَلِّمًا"، قَالَ: ثُمَّ جَلَسَ فِيهِمْ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) passed by two circles in his mosque and said: "Both are upon goodness, but one gathering is superior to the other. One group of people is supplicating and beseeching Allah Almighty; if He wills, He grants them, and if He wills, He withholds from them. The other group is learning knowledge and understanding of religion and teaching the ignorant, so they are superior. And I too have been sent as a teacher." The narrator said: Then he (the Prophet) also sat with them.
