It is only the storyteller-preachers (al-qusās) who have killed knowledge...

It is reported that Abū Qilābah – Allāh Have mercy on him – said: 

"It is only the storyteller-preachers (al-qusās) who have killed knowledge. A man listens to a storyteller for a year without really learning anything that will last, whereas a man who sits with a scholar for an hour learns what will last and benefit him before he even gets up."
 
Abō Nu’aym, Hilyatu Al-Awliyā` 2:287.
