[Machine] "Seek knowledge, whether you are a scholar or a student, and do not seek anything else. If you do not, then love the scholars and do not hate them."  

الطبراني:٨٧٥٢حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ الْأَزْدِيُّ ثنا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ثنا زَائِدَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ

«اغْدُ عَالِمًا أَوْ مُتَعَلِّمًا وَلَا تَغْدُ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ فَأَحِبَّ الْعُلَمَاءَ وَلَا تُبْغِضْهُمْ»
