The Superiority of a Person Who Learns and Then Teaches to Others

Narrated Abu Musa (Radi Allaahu Anhu): The Prophet (SalAllaahu alaihe was sallam) said, “The example of guidance and knowledge with which Allah has sent me is like abundant rain falling on the earth, some of which was fertile soil that absorbed rain-water and brought forth vegetation and grass in abundance. (And) another portion of it was hard and held the rain-water and Allah benefited the people with it and they utilized it for drinking, making their animals drink from it and irrigate the land for cultivation. (And) a portion of it was barren which could neither hold the water nor bring forth vegetation (then that land gave no benefits). The first is the example of the person who comprehends Allah’s religion (Islam) and gets benefit (from the knowledge) which Allah has revealed through me (the Prophet SalAllaahu alaihe was sallam) and learns and then teaches others. The (last example is that of a ) person who does not care for it and does not take Allah’s guidance revealed through me (He is like that barren land.)
