5. Al-Husayn b. Muhammad narrated from ‘Ali b. Muhammad b. Sa‘d, who raised it to Abu Hamza, from ‘Ali b. al-Husayn (a.s), who said: "If people knew the value of seeking knowledge, they would pursue it even at the cost of shedding their own blood and crossing deep waters. Indeed, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, revealed to Daniel: 'The most despised of My servants to Me is the ignorant one who belittles the rights of the scholars and neglects following them. And the most beloved of My servants to Me is the God-conscious seeker of great reward, who adheres to the scholars, follows the forbearing, and accepts wisdom from the wise.'"
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.
