حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْوَاسِطِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ غَالِبٍ الْعَبَّادَانِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ الْبَحْرَانِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ لَأَنْ تَغْدُوَ فَتَعَلَّمَ آيَةً مِنْ کِتَابِ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ لَکَ مِنْ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ مِائَةَ رَکْعَةٍ وَلَأَنْ تَغْدُوَ فَتَعَلَّمَ بَابًا مِنْ الْعِلْمِ عُمِلَ بِهِ أَوْ لَمْ يُعْمَلْ خَيْرٌ لَکَ مِنْ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ أَلْفَ رَکْعَةٍ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 219
It was narrated that Abu Dharr said: “The Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H said to me: ‘0 Abu Dharrl For you to come out in the morning and learn one Verse from the Book of Allah is better for you than praying one hundred Rak’ah, and for you to come out and learn a matter of knowledge, whether it is acted upon or not, is better for you than praying one thousand Rak’ah.” (Da’if)
