English translation

2648. ‘Abdullāh bin Sakhbarah narrated from Sakhbarah, that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever seeks knowledge, he is atoning for what has passed (of sins while doing so).” (Da’if) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] The chain of narration of this Hadīth is weak. Abū Dāwūd's (a narrator in the chain) name is Nufaī Al-A'mā, he was graded weak in Hadīth, and we do not know of much from 'Abdullāh bin Sakhbarah nor from his father.

Arabic text

٢٦٤٨ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ الرَّازِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُعَلَّى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌زِيَادُ بْنُ خَيْثَمَةَ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي دَاوُدَ ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَخْبَرَةَ ، عَنْ ‌سَخْبَرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ طَلَبَ الْعِلْمَ كَانَ كَفَّارَةً لِمَا مَضَى». هَذَا حَدِيثٌ ضَعِيفُ الْإِسْنَادِ، أَبُو دَاوُدَ اسْمُهُ: نُفَيْعٌ الْأَعْمَى يُضَعَّفُ فِي الْحَدِيثِ، وَلَا نَعْرِفُ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَخْبَرَةَ كَبِيرَ شَيْءٍ وَلَا لِأَبِيهِ.

Commentary

True knowledge is a means of getting rid of the mistakes and sins committed in the previous days of life, and knowledge urges for repentance and to seek forgiveness by creating fear of Allāh regarding one's evil deeds; repenting and seeking forgiveness is a channel of pardon and forgiveness for all types of sins.
