The Prophet ﷺ said: “The scholars are the inheritors of the Prophets. The Prophets do not leave gold or silver coins to be inherited, rather they leave knowledge, so whoever takes from that has taken an abundant share."
this book highlights the merit of sacred knowledge and the benefits and virtues of seeking it, bringing a lot of emphasis on the excellence of the scholars and people of knowledge over that of the worshippers.
may Allah ﷻ grant us beneficial knowledge that will lead us on the path towards Paradise, ameen!
