[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Verily, the angels lower their wings out of pleasure for the seeker of knowledge for what he seeks.'"  

أحمد:١٨٠٩٨حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ زِرٍّ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَسَّالٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَتَضَعُ أَجْنِحَتَهَا لِطَالِبِ الْعِلْمِ رِضًا بِمَا طَلَبَ

[Machine] "What brought you here?" I said, "The pursuit of knowledge." He said, "Should I not give you glad tidings?" I said, "Yes." So he raised the conversation to the Prophet, peace be upon him, and said, "Indeed, the angels lower their wings for the seeker of knowledge, pleased with what he seeks."  

الدارمي:٣٦٩أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَاصِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ هُوَ ابْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ زِرٍّ قَالَ غَدَوْتُ عَلَى صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَسَّالٍ الْمُرَادِيِّ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ عَنِ الْمَسْحِ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ فَقَالَ

مَا جَاءَ بِكَ؟ قُلْتُ ابْتِغَاءُ الْعِلْمِ قَالَ أَلَا أُبَشِّرُكَ؟ قُلْتُ بَلَى فَقَالَ رَفَعَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَقَالَ «إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَتَضَعُ أَجْنِحَتَهَا لِطَالِبِ الْعِلْمِ رِضًا بِمَا يَطْلُبُ»
