"The Messenger of Allāh (sw) said: whoever treads a path seeking knowledge, Allāh makes him tread a path to heaven. The angels lay down their wings for the seeker of knowledge, being pleased with him. They do seek forgiveness for the seeker of knowledge whatsoever is in heaven and whatsoever is on earth, even the fish in the sea. The excellence of the scholar over the worshipper is like the excellence of the moon over the rest of the stars on a full-moon night. The scholars are the inheritors of the prophets, the prophets do not leave behind silver or gold coins, rather they leave behind knowledge. So, whomsoever partakes of it then he has obtained a fortunate share."
