Pearl of Wisdom
'A man once came to the Prophet (SAWA) asking, ?O Prophet of Allah, what is knowledge?' to which he replied, 'Paying attention [being silent].' The man asked, 'Then what?' He replied, 'Listening.' He asked, 'Then what?' The Prophet replied, memorising.' The man asked, 'Then what?' He replied, 'Acting upon it.' He asked, 'Then what O Prophet of Allah', to which he replied, 'Spreading it.'

Sermon 117 In praise of his faithful companions
You are supporters of Truth and brethren in faith. You are the shield on the day of tribulation, and (my) trustees among the rest of the people. With your support I strike the runner away and hope for the obedience of him who advances forward. Therefore, extend to me support which is free from deceit and pure from doubt because, by Allah, I am the most preferable of all for the people.
