Ayat 116. If only there had been among the generations
before you, persons having wisdom, prohibiting (others) from Al-Fasad
(disbelief, polytheism, and all kinds of crimes and sins) in the earth,
except a few of those whom We saved from among them. Those who did wrong pursued
the enjoyment of good things of (this worldly) life, and were Mujrimun
(criminals, disbelievers in Allah, polytheists, sinners, etc.).
Ayat 117. . And your Lord would never destroy the
towns wrongfully, while their people were
right-doers.
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be
pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "Verily! The world is accursed and what it
contains is accursed, except remembrance of Allah and those who associate
themselves with Allah; and a learned man, and a learning person.''
[At-Tirmidhi Hadith # 2322].
Lesson
: as mentioned above in Surah Hud Ayat 116.
"Those who did wrong pursued the enjoyment of good things of (this
worldly) life, and were Mujrimun" This Hadith does not mean that this world is totally condemned. What it
really means is that such things of this world are cursed which take a person
away from Allah and make him careless about his obedience. Thus, anything of
this world can be good and evil. For instance, worldly goods are auspicious if
one acquires them through lawful means and spends them in a permissible manner,
otherwise, they are condemnable. Similar is the case of other things of this
world.
2. That knowledge is good which brings one closer to Allah and is a
source of benefit for mankind, otherwise, it is also condemnable.
3. This Hadith also brings into prominence the distinction of men of
learning, especially scholars of religious
disciplines.
