Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 19515a
"مَا مِنْ قوْمٍ يجْتمِعُونَ على كتاب اللهِ - ﷻ - يتعاطَوْنَهُ بَينهم إِلا كانُوا أَضْيافًا للهِ وَإِلا حَفَّتْهُمُ الملائِكةُ حتَّى يقُومُوا وَيخُوضُوا فِي حدِيث غيرِهِ، وَما مِنْ عَبْدٍ يخْرجُ فِي طلَبِ عِلم مَخافَةَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ أَو في انْتِساخِهِ مَخافةَ أَنْ يدْرُس إِلا كان كَالغَادِى الرَّائحِ فِي سَبِيلِ الله - ﷻ - ومنْ يُبْطِئ بِهِ عمَلُهُ لا يُسْرعْ بِهِ نَسَبُهُ".
Translation
Machine translation, not reviewed
"There is no people who gather to recite the Book of Allah, studying it among themselves, except that they are guests of Allah, the angels surround them until they rise, and they engage in talk other than it. And there is no servant who goes out seeking knowledge, fearing that he will die, or in copying it, fearing that it will be effaced, except that he is like one who goes out and returns in the way of Allah. Whoever is held back by his deeds, his lineage will not hasten him."
