The Prophet (SAWA) asked a group of people who were praising a man, ‘How is the man s intellect to which they replied, ‘O Prophet of Allah, we are telling you about his endeavours at worship and other good acts, and you are asking us about his intellect! So he replied, ‘Verily the stupid person suffers as a result of his stupidity worse than the licentiousness of an immoral person. The servants will rise up in rank in the Hereafter and will receive great rewards from their Lord in proportion to their intellects.
مجمع البيان: أثنى قومٌ على رجُلٍ عندَ رَسولِ اللّه (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) فقالَ رسولُ اللّهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): كَيفَ عَقلُ الرَّجُلِ ؟ قالوا: يا رَسولَ اللّهِ، نُخبِرُكَ عَنِ اجتِهادِهِ في العِبادَةِ وأصنافِ الخَيرِ ، وتَسألُنا عَن عَقلِهِ ؟ ! فقالَ: إنَّ الأحمَقَ يُصيبُ بِحُمقِهِ أعظَمَ مِن فُجورِ الفاجِرِ، وإنَّما يَرتَفِعُ العِبادُ غَداً في الدَّرَجاتِ ويَنالونَ الزُّلفى مِن رَبِّهِم عَلى قَدرِ عُقولِهِم.
