Commentary
Beneficial knowledge signifies the action congruous to knowledge, because the first and foremost benefit of knowledge and erudition should reach the erudite himself, then to others, for instance, calling people to Allâh, teaching, etc.
2. 'From a soul that is never satisfied': It signifies the inner self's greediness and avarice, although desire or covetousness for knowledge and recompense is praiseworthy.
