سَخْبَرَةُ الْأَزْدِيُّ

[Machine] Two men passed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was sitting and giving a sermon. He said to them, "Sit down, for you are upon goodness." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and his companions dispersed, they stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, you said to us 'Sit down, for you are upon goodness.' Is it for us specifically or for people in general?" He said, "Any servant who seeks knowledge will have his previous sins forgiven."  

مَرَّ رَجُلَانِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ وَهُوَ يُذَكِّرُ فَقَالَ «اجْلِسَا فَإِنَّكُمَا عَلَى خَيْرٍ» فَلَمَّا قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَتَفَرَّقَ عَنْهُ أَصْحَابُهُ قَامَا فَقَالَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّكَ قُلْتَ لَنَا «اجْلِسَا فَإِنَّكُمَا عَلَى خَيْرٍ» أَلَنَا خَاصَّةً أَمْ لِلنَّاسِ عَامَّةً؟ قَالَ «مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَطْلُبُ الْعِلْمَ إِلَّا كَانَ كَفَّارَةَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ»
