[Machine] Narrated Jundub ibn Abdullah al-Azdi: The companion of the Prophet, Peace be upon Him, said: "I set out with him towards Basra until we reached a place called Bayt al-Miskin, which is to Basra what Sawiya is to Kufa. He asked me, 'Did you used to teach anyone the Quran?' I replied, 'Yes.' He said, 'When we reach Basra, bring them to me.' So, I brought him Salah ibn Musarrih, Abu Bilal, Najdah, and Nafi' ibn al-Azraq, who were among the distinguished people of Basra in my sight that day. Then, he started to speak to me about the Messenger of Allah, Peace be upon Him. Jundub narrated: The Messenger of Allah, Peace be upon Him, said, 'The likeness of the scholar who imparts knowledge to the people but forgets himself is like a lamp that illuminates the people but burns itself.'"
