Who's in greater need of knowledge?

بـسـم الله والحـمـد لله والـصلاة والـسـلام عــلى رسـول الله، وبـعـد


Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Ayoob (the author of “al-Maghaazee”) said: People gathered around Sufyaan bin `Uyainah رحمه الله and asked: Who is in greater need of seeking knowledge? He said: “The ones who are in a greater need of seeking knowledge are the scholars; because the ignorance in them is despicable. This is because it is they whom the people (rely and) ask (their questions).” [Tahdheeb Al-Kamaal by Al-Mizzee (11/192)]
