حَدَّثَنَا الْهُذَيْلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ثَنَا مُجَاشِعُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، عَنْ وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ ؓ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ:

مَنْ طَلَبَ عِلْمًا فَأَدْرَكَهُ، أَعْطَاهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى كِفْلَيْنِ مِنَ الْأَجْرِ، وَمَنْ طَلَبَ عِلْمًا فَلَمْ يُدْرِكْهُ أَعْطَاهُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ كِفْلًا مِنَ الْأَجْرِ، فَفَسَّرَهُ فَقَالَ: مَنْ طَلَبَ عِلْمًا فَأَدْرَكَهُ أَعْطَاهُ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَجْرَ مَا عَلِمَ وَأَجْرَ مَا عَمِلَ، وَمَنْ طَلَبَ عِلْمًا فَلَمْ يُدْرِكْهُ أَعْطَاهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى أَجْرَ مَا عَلِمَ وَسَقَطَ عَنْهُ أَجْرُ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ

✧ Whoever seeks knowledge and attains it, God Almighty gives him a double portion of reward; and whoever seeks knowledge but does not attain it, God, Mighty and Majestic, gives him a single portion of reward. He then explained it, saying: Whoever seeks knowledge and attains it, God, Blessed and Exalted, gives him the reward for what he learned and the reward for what he acted upon; and whoever seeks knowledge but does not attain it, God Almighty gives him the reward for what he learned, and the reward for what he did not learn is dropped from him.
