Arabic text

٢٦٤٦ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، عَنِ ‌الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ سَلَكَ طَرِيقًا يَلْتَمِسُ» فِيهِ عِلْمًا سَهَّلَ اللهُ لَهُ طَرِيقًا إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ.

Commentary

The means and sources of entering Paradise are correct belief and good deeds, and the authenticity of belief and deeds dependent on correct knowledge; therefore the knowledge mentioned in this Ḥadīth is that of the Book and Sunnah, and to achieve this one has to leave one's home.
