Arabic Text

ق ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَمِّهِ، قَالَ : بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ سَلْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، كَتَبَ إِلَى أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ :" إِنَّ الْعِلْمَ كَالْيَنَابِيعِ يَغْشَاهُنَّ النَّاسُ، فَيَخْتَلِجُهُ هَذَا وَهَذَا، فَيَنْفَعُ اللَّهُ بِهِ غَيْرَ وَاحِدٍ، وَإِنَّ حِكْمَةً لَا يُتَكَلَّمُ بِهَا كَجَسَدٍ لَا رُوحَ فِيهِ، وَإِنَّ عِلْمًا لَا يُخْرَجُ كَكَنْزٍ لَا يُنْفَقُ مِنْهُ، وَإِنَّمَا مَثَلُ الْعَالِمِ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ حَمَلَ سِرَاجًا فِي طَرِيقٍ مُظْلِمٍ يَسْتَضِيءُ بِهِ مَنْ مَرَّ بِهِ، وَكُلٌّ يَدْعُو لَهُ بِالْخَيْرِ "
