He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is this phrase a hadith: “Whoever wants this world, let him seek knowledge, and whoever wants the Hereafter, let him seek knowledge, and whoever wants both, let him seek knowledge as well”? Is this a hadith, and what is its rank?
Answer:
I do not know that it is a hadith, but we used to hear it from our Egyptian teachers. It appears to be a maxim from the words of some of the scholars. Yes.
