It is narrated from Mas'ar: I heard Abdul-A'la al-Taimi say: Whoever is given such knowledge that does not make him weep, it is appropriate for him not to be given such knowledge that would benefit him, because Allah Almighty has praised the scholars. Then he recited: «﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ (إلي قوله تعالٰي) يَبْكُونَ ....﴾» [الإسراء: 107/17-109] "Indeed, those who were given knowledge before it, when it is recited to them, they fall upon their chins in prostration and say, 'Glory be to our Lord! Surely the promise of our Lord is ever fulfilled.' And they fall upon their chins weeping, and it increases them in humility."
