Imam Ali (AS) said, Take from every knowledge the best of it, for indeed the bee partakes from the most beautiful of every flower, so two precious substances are produced from it: in one of them is a cure for the people (i.e. honey), and the other is a means of illumination (i.e. wax).
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : خُذُوا مِنْ كُلِّ عِلْم أحْسَنَهُ فَإنَّ النَّحْلَ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ كُلِّ زَهْر أزْيَنَهُ فَيَتَوَلَّدُ مِنْهُ جَوْهَرانِ نَفيسانِ: أحَدُهُما فيهِ شِفاءٌ لِلنّاسِ والاْخَرُ يُسْتَضاءُ بِهِ
