وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ، ثَنَا مَسْعَدَةُ بْنُ الْيَسَعِ، عَنْ شِبْلِ بْنِ عَبَّادٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ ؓ:

إِنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَعْلَمُ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: مَنْ يَجْمَعُ عِلْمَ النَّاسِ إِلَى عِلْمِهِ وَكُلُّ صَاحِبِ عِلْمٍ غَرْثَانُ
