Prophetic Traditions
إِنَّ الْعُلَمَاءَ وَرَثَةُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ إِنَّ الْأَنْبِيَاءَ لَمْ يُوَرِّثُوا دِينَارًا وَلا دِرْهَمًا إِنَّمَا وَرَّثُوا الْعِلْمَ
“The scholars are the heirs of the Prophets. The Prophets did not leave behind dinars or dirhams; rather they left behind knowledge.”
While creation inherits knowledge, Al-Warith is the One who inherits all things when all else perishes.
Abu ad-Darda' رضي الله عنه·Sunan Abu Dawud 3641
