Arabic Text
أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ زِيَادِ بْنِ أَنْعُمَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، مَرَّ بِمَجْلِسَيْنِ فِي مَسْجِدِهِ، فَقَالَ :" كِلَاهُمَا عَلَى خَيْرٍ، وَأَحَدُهُمَا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ، أَمَّ
ا هَؤُلَاءِ فَيَدْعُونَ اللَّهَ، وَيَرْغَبُونَ إِلَيْهِ، فَإِنْ شَاءَ أَعْطَاهُمْ، وَإِنْ شَاءَ مَنَعَهُمْ، وَأَمَّا هَؤُلَاءِ فَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ الْفِقْهَ وَالْعِلْمَ، وَيُعَلِّمُونَ الْجَاهِلَ، فَهُمْ أَفْضَلُ، وَإِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُ مُعَلِّمًا "، قَالَ : ثُمَّ جَلَسَ فِيهِمْ

English Translation
It was narrated from Abdullah ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him): 'The Prophet ﷺ passed by two gatherings in the mosque. One gathering was engaged in dhikr and supplication to Allah, and the other was engaged in learning fiqh (Islamic knowledge). The Prophet ﷺ said: "Both groups are engaged in good — those who call upon Allah and ask of Him, if He wills He grants them and if He wills He withholds; and those who are learning and teaching are better. Indeed I was sent as a teacher." Then he sat with them.'
