Sakhbara al-Azdi reported God’s messenger as saying, “If anyone
seeks knowledge, it will be an atonement for past sins.” Tirmidhi and
Darimi transmitted it, Tirmidhi saying that this is a tradition whose
isnad is weak, and that Abu Dawud the transmitter is declared to be
weak.
Anas reported God’s messenger as saying, “He who goes out in
search of knowledge is in God’s path till he returns.” Tirmidhi and
Darimi transmitted it.
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported God’s messenger as saying, “A believer will never be satisfied with the good he hears till he reaches
paradise.” Tirmidhi transmitted it.
