It is narrated from Abdullah ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) passed by two groups in his mosque. He said: "Both of them are upon good, but one of them is better than the other. The first group is praying to Allah and seeking His blessings. If He wills, He gives them, and if He wills, He withholds from them. As for the second group, they are studying fiqh (or knowledge) and teaching it to the ignorant. They are better, for indeed I was sent as a teacher." Then he sat among them.
