← Previous Hadith
The Prophet (ﷺ) 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 for irrigation of 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 and gets benefit (from the knowledge) which
Allah has revealed through me (the Prophets 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.)"
