Hadith #356
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ بَهْدَلَةَ عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ قَالَ غَدَوْتُ عَلَى صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَسَّالٍ الْمُرَادِيِّ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ الْمَسْحِ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْن
ِ فَقَالَ مَا جَاءَ بِكَ قُلْتُ ابْتِغَاءَ الْعِلْمِ قَالَ أَلَا أُبَشِّرُكَ وَرَفَعَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَتَضَعُ أَجْنِحَتَهَا لِطَالِبِ الْعِلْمِ رِضًا بِمَا يَطْلُبُ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ

English Translation
ʿAffān narrated to us, Ḥammād ibn Salamah narrated to us, ʿĀṣim ibn Bahdālah informed us, from Zirr ibn Ḥubaysh, who said: I went early to Ṣafwān ibn ʿAssāl al-Murādī to ask him about wiping over the leather socks. He said: 'What brings you?' I said: 'Seeking knowledge.' He said: 'Shall I not give you glad tidings?' — and he elevated the hadith to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ — He said: 'Indeed the angels lower their wings for the seeker of knowledge, being pleased with what he seeks.' He then mentioned the hadith.
