Hadith 1.3
Knowledge
He also reported the Prophet (ﷺ) as saying, “Two greedy ones never attain satisfaction:
he who is greedy for knowledge can never get enough of it, and he who is greedy for worldly goods can never get enough of them." Baihaqi transmitted the three traditions in <i>Shu'ab al-iman</i>, and quoted the <i>imam</i> Ahmad as saying about Abu Darda''s tradition, “This is a well-known text among the people, but it does not have a sound <i>isnad</i>."
وَعَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:
مَنْهُومَانِ لَا يَشْبَعَانِ: مَنْهُومٌ فِي الْعِلْمِ لَا يَشْبَعُ مِنْهُ وَمَنْهُومٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا لَا يَشْبَعُ مِنْهَا «. رَوَى الْبَيْهَقِيُّ الْأَحَادِيثَ الثَّلَاثَةَ فِي» شُعَبِ الْإِيمَانِ
