شَرْحُ الْأُصُولِ السِّتَّةِ.

Explanation of the Six Principles.

وَالْعِلْمُ لَهُ فَضَائِلُ كَثِيرَةٌ: مِنْهَا: أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَرْفَعُ أَهْلَ الْعِلْمِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَفِي الدُّنْيَا، أَمَّا فِي الْآخِرَةِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَرْفَعُهُمْ دَرَجَاتٍ بِحَسَبِ مَا قَامُوا بِهِ مِنَ الدَّعْوَةِ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَالْعَمَلِ بِمَا عَمِلُوا، وَفِي الدُّنْيَا يَرْفَعُهُمُ اللَّهُ بَيْنَ عِبَادِهِ بِحَسَبِ مَا قَامُوا بِهِ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: (يَرْفَعُ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ دَرَجَاتٍ).

Knowledge has many virtues: among them is that Allah elevates the people of knowledge in the Hereafter and in this world; as for the Hereafter, Allah elevates them in degrees according to what they undertook of calling to Allah and acting upon what they knew, and in this world, Allah elevates them among His servants according to what they undertook, as Allah the Exalted said: 'Allah will raise those who have believed among you and those who were given knowledge, by degrees.'

وَمِنْهَا: أَنَّهُ إِرْثُ النَّبِيِّ كَمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ: «إِنَّ الْأَنْبِيَاءَ لَمْ يُوَرِّثُوا دِينَارًا وَلَا دِرْهَمًا إِنَّمَا وَرَّثُوا الْعِلْمَ فَمَنْ أَخَذَهُ أَخَذَ بِحَظٍّ وَافِرٍ».

Among them is that it is the inheritance of the Prophet, as the Prophet said: 'Indeed, the prophets did not leave behind a dinar or a dirham; they only left behind knowledge, so whoever takes it has taken an abundant share.'
