It has been narrated from Ḥabīb ibn Abī Thābit that Ṣa‘īd ibn Jubayr رحمه الله said to him:
“That I propagate my knowledge is more beloved to me, than that I take it with me into my grave.”[1]
[1] Siyar-A‘lām-An-Nubalā
وَرُوِيَ عَنْ حَبِيْبِ بنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ: قَالَ لِي سَعِيْدُ بنُ جُبَيْرٍ: لأَنْ أَنْشُرَ عِلْمِي، أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَذْهَبَ بِهِ إِلَى قَبْرِي
