1467 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father narrated to me; Rawḥ narrated to us; Hishām narrated to us, from al-Ḥasan, who said: “A man would hear of a single gate among the gates of knowledge, so he would learn it and act upon it, and that would be better for him than the whole world and all it contains—even were it entirely his and he then devoted it to his Afterlife.”
١٤٦٧ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ: قَدْ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَسْمَعُ بِالْبَابِ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْعِلْمِ فَيَتَعَلَّمُهُ وَيَعْمَلُ بِهِ فَيَكُونُ خَيْرًا لَهُ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا لَوْ كَانَتْ لَهُ فَوَضَعَهَا فِي آخِرَةٍ "
