Which is better: jihad in the path of Allah, or seeking knowledge?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Which is better, jihad in the path of Allah or seeking knowledge?

Answer:
The Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) distinguished in this matter. He said that people are not all the same. Some have the aptitude for seeking knowledge and understanding, but they do not have the courage for jihad; for them, seeking knowledge is better. Others have the aptitude for jihad, along with strength, experience, and skill in jihad, but they do not have the gift for seeking knowledge; for them, it is better to fight in the path of Allah. People differ in their talents, and Allah has differentiated people in their talents for the benefit of the servants. This one serves from one aspect, and that one serves from the other aspect. Yes.
