Narrated Kathir ibn Qays: Kathir ibn Qays said: I was sitting with Abud Darda in the mosque of Damascus. A man came to him and said: Abud Darda, I have come to you from the town of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم for a tradition that I have heard you relate from the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. I have come for no other purpose. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم say: If anyone travels on a road in search of knowledge, Allah will cause him to travel on one of the roads of Paradise. The angels will lower their wings in their great pleasure with one who seeks knowledge, the inhabitants of the heavens and the Earth and the fish in the deep waters will ask forgiveness for the learned man. The superiority of the learned man over the devout is like that of the moon, on the night when it is full, over the rest of the stars. The learned are the heirs of the Prophets, and the Prophets leave neither dinar nor dirham, leaving only knowledge, and he who takes it takes an abundant portion.
