Seeking Knowledge

"Narrated `Abdullah bin Mas`ud: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, \"Do not wish to be like anyone except in two cases. The first is a person whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it righteously; the second is the one whom Allah has given wisdom, the Holy Qur'an, and he acts according to it and teaches it to others.\"\n\nNarrated Ibn `Abbas: He differed with Hur bin Qais bin Hisn Al-Fazari regarding the companion of the Prophet Moses.
