"مَنْ خَرَجَ يَطلُبُ بَابًا مِنَ العِلْم يَرُدُّ بهِ بَاطِلا مِنْ حَقٍّ أَوْ ضَلالةٍ مِنْ هُدًى كَانَ كعِبَادَةِ متَعبِّدٍ أَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا".

"Whoever goes out seeking a chapter of knowledge by which he turns away falsehood from truth or misguidance from guidance, it is as the worship of a worshipper for forty years."
