أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ
«إِنْ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ لَيُصِيبُ الْبَابَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ فَيَعْمَلُ بِهِ فَيَكُونُ خَيْرًا لَهُ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا لَوْ كَانَتْ لَهُ فَجَعَلَهَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ»

✧ If a man were to attain a chapter of knowledge and act upon it, it would be better for him than the world and all that is in it, if it were his and he made it for the Hereafter.
