He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘On the Day of Judgement, you will intercede for one hundred thousand people of my Ummah.’ I humbly asked, ‘O my Master صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! What is the reason of showing this kindness and benevolence to me?’ He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied, ‘This is because you often send the gifts of Salāt to me.’ (At-Tabaqāt-ul-Kubrā lish-Sha’rānī, part 2, pp. 101)

Here is the 43^rd verse of Sūrah An-Nahl with its translation from page 507 of sacred Kanz-ul-Īmān published by Maktaba-tul-Madīnah, the publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has said in part 14 of the Holy Quran:

فَسۡـَٔلُوۡۤا   اَہۡلَ   الذِّکۡرِ    اِنۡ   کُنۡتُمۡ    لَا    تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ    ﴿ۙ۴۳﴾

O people! Ask those who have knowledge if you do not know.

[Kanz-ul-Īmān (Translation of Quran)] (Part 14, Sūrah An-Nahl, verse 43)

In the exegesis of the above verse, it is stated in Khazāin-ul-‘Irfān: An ignorant person cannot do without asking a knowledgeable person. The cure for the disease of ignorance is that the ignorant person should ask the scholar and act as per his order. (Khazāin-ul-‘Irfān, pp. 602) It is stated in a Hadīs: The cure for the disease of ignorance is to ask scholars [about what one is ignorant of]. (Khazāin-ul-‘Irfān, pp. 507)
