حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ وَسُرَيْجُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَبِي طُوَالَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ
مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ عِلْمًا مِمَّا يُبْتَغَى بِهِ وَجْهُ اللهِ لَا يَتَعَلَّمُهُ إِلَّا لِيُصِيبَ بِهِ عَرَضًا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا، لَمْ يَجِدْ عَرْفَ الْجَنَّةِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
