Our GREAT Teachers

 

Sabl bin Mu’ddh bin Anas narrated from his father that the Prophet i said: “Whoever teaches some knowledge will have the reward of the one who acts upon it, without that detracting from his reward in the slightest.” ( Sunan Ibn e Majah, Hadith#240, Classified as Hasan By Allama Albani)
