Hadith Number: 1850
حدثني عن مالك انه بلغه ”ان لقمان الحكيم اوصى ابنه فقال: يا بني جالس العلماء، وزاحمهم بركبتيك، فإن الله يحيي القلوب بنور الحكمة، كما يحيي الله الارض الميتة بوابل السماء“۔
Hazrat Luqman the Wise said to his son at the time of his death (the name of this son was Shakur or Aslam): O my son! Sit with the scholars, and join your knees with theirs, because Allah, the Glorious and Exalted, enlivens (revives) hearts with the light of wisdom, just as He enlivens (revives) dead land with rain.
