Arabic text

٢٦٤٧ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌خَالِدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْعَتَكِيُّ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الرَّازِيِّ، عَنِ ‌الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ خَرَجَ فِي طَلَبِ الْعِلْمِ فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ» اللهِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ، وَرَوَاهُ بَعْضُهُمْ فَلَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ.

Commentary

The means of preaching and spreading the religion of Islam, protecting and defending it is knowledge. So working and striving hard to achieve it, bearing hardship and adversity for its sake is also a form of Jihād in the path of Allāh.
