In the end of the Hadith "**those who teach people knowledge**" is it referring to anyone who teaches people knowledge or A scholar from the context before. If it is referring to the scholar then who are the scholars according to this Hadith? Is it just someone who has knowledge about Deen or someone who is like a formal scholar as we understand today?
