Hadith #3112

Ungraded

Arabic Text

أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُرَحْبِيلُ بْنُ شَرِيكٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيَّ ، يَقُولُ :" لَيْسَ هَدِيَّةٌ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ كَلِمَةِ حِكْمَةٍ، تُهْدِيهَا لِأَخِيكَ "

English Translation

Al-Hasan said: 'A man's seeking knowledge benefits him even if he does not act upon it — he is ashamed of its people and avoids what its people avoid, and it may save him at some point.'
