Shaykh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣaduq · The Fourteenth Assembly, which is Tuesday, the Fifth of the Month of Ramadan, 367 AH.
9 - حدثنا الحسين بن إبراهيم (رحمه الله)، قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم، عن أبيه إبراهيم بن هاشم، عن عبد الله بن ميمون، عن الصادق جعفر بن محمد، عن أبيه، عن آبائه (عليهم السلام)، قال: قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): من سلك طريقا يطلب فيه علما، سلك الله به طريقا إلى الجنة، وإن الملائكة لتضع أجنحتها لطالب العلم رضى به، وإنه ليستعفر لطالب العلم من في السماء ومن في الارض، حتى الحوت في البحر، وفضل العالم على العابد كفضل القمر على سائر النجوم ليلة البدر، وإن العلماء ورثة الانبياء، إن الانبياء لم يورثوا دينارا ولا درهما، ولكن ورثوا العلم، فمن أخذ منه أخذ بحظ وافر (2).
Al-Husayn b. Ibrahim (rh) narrated to us. He said: `Ali b. Ibrahim narrated to us from his father Ibrahim b. Hashim from Abdullah b. Maymun from al-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad from his father from his forefathers (as). He said: The Messenger of Allah (s) said: Whoever travels a path seeking knowledge, Allah makes him travel a path to Paradise. Surely, the angels put their wings on a seeker of knowledge that they become pleased with. Those in the heavens and the Earth - even the whales in the ocean - seek forgiveness for the seekers of knowledge. The virtue of the scholar over the worshiper is like that of the full moon over the stars. The scholars are the inheritors of the prophets, for the prophets do not bequeath gold or silver, but they bequeath knowledge - whoever takes from it has taken an abundant omen.
