902. THE KEY TO KNOWLEDGE

(وَمَا أَرْسَلْنا مِن قَبْلِكَ إِلَّا رِجَالاً نُّوحِي إِلَيْهِمْ فاسْأَلُوا أَهلَ الذِّكْرِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ) .¹

"We did not send [any apostles] before you except as men to whom We revealed - ask the People of the Reminder if you do not know." ²

2871.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : العِلمُ خَزائنُ ومَفاتِيحُهُ السُّؤالُ، فَاسألُوا رَحِمَكُمُ اللَّهُ فإنّهُ يُؤجَرُ أربَعةٌ : السائلُ ، والمُتَكلِّمُ ، والمُستَمِعُ ، والمُحِبُّ لَهُم .³
