[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , looked at the sky one day, and said, "This is the time when knowledge is elevated." So, a man from the Ansar, whose name was Labid ibn Ziyad, said, "O Messenger of Allah, is knowledge elevated even though it has been established and engraved in the hearts?" The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said to him, "If I were to consider anyone among the people of Madinah to be the most knowledgeable, it would be you." Then, he mentioned to him the misguidance of the Jews and Christians regarding what is in their hands from the Book of Allah. He said, "So, I met Shaddad ibn Aws, and I narrated to him the Hadith of Awf ibn Malik. He said, 'Awf spoke the truth. Shall I inform you about the first thing that is elevated?' I said, 'Yes, please.' He said, 'It is humility until you do not see a person in a state of humility.'"
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَظَرَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ يَوْمًا فَقَالَ «هَذَا أَوَانٌ يُرْفَعُ الْعِلْمُ» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ لَبِيدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ يُرْفَعُ الْعِلْمُ وَقَدْ أُثْبِتَ وَوَعَتْهُ الْقُلُوبُ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَحْسَبُكَ مِنْ أَفْقَهِ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ» وَذَكَرَ لَهُ ضَلَالَةَ الْيَهُودِ وَالنَّصَارَى عَلَى مَا فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللهِ قَالَ فَلَقِيتُ شَدَّادَ بْنَ أَوْسٍ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِحَدِيثِ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ عَوْفٌ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِأَوَّلِ ذَلِكَ يُرْفَعُ؟ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ الْخُشُوعُ حَتَّى لَا تَرَى خَاشِعًا
