The scholar who works in teaching is regarded as a great man in the domain of the heavens

Abī ‘Umāmah Al-Bāhilī (رضي الله عنه) narrated: “Two men were mentioned before the Messenger of Allāh (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) One of them a worshiper, and the other a scholar.

So the Messenger of Allāh (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) said: 

‘The superiority of the scholar over the worshiper is like my superiority over the least of you.’

Then the Messenger of Allāh (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) said: 

‘Indeed Allāh, His Angels, the inhabitants of the heavens and the earths – even the ant in his hole, even the fish – say Salat upon the one who teaches the people to do good.’”

[Abū ‘Īsā said:] This ḥadīth is ḥasan gharīb ṣaḥīḥ. [He said:] I heard Abū ‘Ammār Al-Ḥusayn Bin Ḥuraith Al-Khuzā’ī saying: “I heard Al-Fudayl ibn ‘Iyad (رحمه الله) saying: 

 

‘The scholar who works in teaching is regarded a great man in the domain of the heavens.’”

هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ. سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَمَّارٍ الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ حُرَيْثٍ الْخُزَاعِيَّ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ الْفُضَيْلَ بْنَ عِيَاضٍ يَقُولُ: عَالِمٌ عَامِلٌ مُعَلِّمٌ يُدْعَى كَبِيرًا فِي مَلَكُوتِ السَّمَاوَاتِ
