The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Indeed, the scholars are the heirs of the Prophets. The Prophets do not leave behind dinar or dirham, but they leave behind knowledge. Whoever takes it has taken a great share. Verily, everything in the heavens and the earth—even the fish in the sea—seeks forgiveness for the scholar.”
[Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi & Ibn Majah]
This hadith beautifully shows the honored rank of those who seek, live, and teach Islamic knowledge. Even the fish in the sea, far removed from human affairs, recognize the benefit that scholars bring to the world—and they pray for their forgiveness. It’s a reminder that supporting scholars is not just noble, it’s spiritually powerful—impacting the heavens and earth.
