Benefit | You have to exert more effort in seeking knowledge if you want to become a teacher

Maalik ibn Deenaar rahimahullah said: (من طلب العلم لنفسه فقليل العلم يكفيه، ومن طلبه للناس فحوائج الناس كثيرة). “Whoever seeks knowledge for himself (i.e. to benefit himself), then a little bit of knowledge will suffice him, but whoever seeks it for the people (i.e. to benefit the people), then the people’s needs are much.” [Jaami' Bayaan Al-'ilm of Ibn Abdil-Barr (1 / 437)]
