[Machine] "Narrated by Ibn Abbas, whom I consider to have heard it directly from the Prophet ﷺ, he said: There are two types of people, neither of whom will have their desires fulfilled: one who is consumed by his desire for seeking knowledge, and one who is consumed by his desire for seeking worldly possessions."  

الطبراني:١١٠٩٥حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ الرَّازِيُّ ثنا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ لَيْثٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ أَحْسَبُهُ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْهُومَانِ لَا يَقْضِي أَحَدُهُمَا نَهْمَتَهُ مَنْهُومٌ فِي طَلَبِ الْعِلْمِ وَمَنْهُومٌ فِي طَلَبِ الدُّنْيَا

"مَنْهُومَانِ لا يَقْضِي وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمَا نُهْمَتَهُ: مَنْهُومٌ فِي طَلَبِ الْعِلْمِ يَقْضِي نُهْمَتَهُ، وَمَنْهُومٌ فِي طَلَبِ الدُّنْيَا لا يَقْضِي نُهْمَتَهُ".
