—arise} to every good deed, such as fighting the enemy or performing a virtuous act. The meaning of 'unshuzu' (arise) is to rise up. {Allah will raise those who have believed among you and those who were given knowledge, by degrees} in the Hereafter, above those who believed, meaning: those who are not scholars.
Yahya [narrated] from al-Khalil ibn Murrah, from Imran al-Qasir, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "The superiority of the scholar over the worshiper is like my superiority over the lowest man among my companions."
Yahya [narrated] from Nu'aym ibn Yahya, from al-A'mash, from al-Minhal ibn 'Amr, from Sa'id ibn Jubayr, from Ibn 'Abbas, who said: "Everything seeks forgiveness for the teacher of good, even the whale in the sea."
فَانشُزُوا﴾ إِلَى كل خير من قتال الْعَدو، أَو أمْرٍ معروفٍ مَا كَانَ وَمعنى انشزوا: ارتفعوا ﴿يَرْفَعِ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ وَالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ دَرَجَاتٍ﴾ فِي الْآخِرَة على الَّذين آمنُوا، أَي: ليْسوا بعلماء.
يَحْيَى: عَنِ الْخَلِيلِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ الْقَصِيرِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: " فَضْلُ الْعَالِمِ عَلَى الْعَابِدِ كَفَضْلِي عَلَى أَدْنَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِي ".
يَحْيَى: عَنْ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ يَحْيَى، عَنْ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنِ الْمِنْهَالِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: " مُعَلِّمُ الْخَيْرِ يَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى الْحُوت فِي الْبَحْر ".
