Ustadh Mūsá Richardson gives a clear and detailed explanation of this Ḥadīth, which is related by Abū Hurayrah. It teaches a very important sunnah that we can establish in our ṣalah and at other times. It has a very beautiful meaning and is full of benefits.
Benefit: Answering the Claim, "The Caller (Dāʿī) Is Better Than the Scholar"
In the Name of Allāh, the Ever Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy
Shaykh ʿUbayd al-Jābirī comments on the verse below, clarifying an existing doubt:
شَهِدَ اللَّهُ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ وَأُولُو الْعِلْمِ قَائِمًا بِالْقِسْطِ ۚ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ
Allāh bears witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Him; and likewise, the angels and the people of knowledge bear witness: He who maintains justice, none has the right to be worshipped but Him, the All Mighty, the All Wise. [Sūrah al-ʿImrān, 3:18]
Present in this verse is a refutation of some of those who ascribe to the daʾwah, who say: The caller (dāʿī) is better than the scholar. They use the argument that the caller is like the rain cloud, travelling from place to place, everyone benefits from it [i.e. the rain]. While the scholar is like a well, no one drinks from it except those who travel to it. Glorified is Allāh the Exalted! Are they more knowledgeable or Allāh? Who are the ones who testify to the oneness of Allāh [in this verse], the scholar or the caller? The scholar! Who are the inheritors of the prophets? The scholars, or the callers who travel from place to place? Some of them [i.e. callers] are not even able to recite Sūrah al-Fātiḥah correctly and do not know the pillars of Islām. Corrupt reasoning and misinterpetation of the speech of Allāh and His Messenger (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) is the way of the people of innovation and desires; so be warned.

In the Name of Allāh, the Ever Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy
Muḥammad ibn Shihāb al-Zuhrī (رحمه الله) fasted on the day of ʿĀshūrāʾ whilst travelling. So he was asked: Why do you fast on the day of ʿĀshūrāʾ and break your fast in Ramaḍān [during travels]?

He replied: Verily, Ramaḍān has many days whilst the day of ʿĀshūrāʾ departs [in one day].

Shaykh ʿAbd al-Razzāq al-Badr comments: This is from the pious predecessors devotion to this blessed time [the day of ʿĀshūrāʾ]. May Allāh enrich us with its goodness and blessings.
