as-salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu
Does anyone know the authenticity of the following hadeeth:
Abu Hurairah (Radi'Allahu anhu) reported: The Messenger of Allah (sallaAllahu alaihi wa sallam) said, "He who does not acquire knowledge with the sole intention of seeking the Pleasure of Allah but for worldly gain, will not smell the fragrance of Jannah on the Day of Resurrection."
[Abi Dawud]
quote:
مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ عِلْماً مِمَّا يُبْتَغَى بِهِ وَجْهُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلّ
َ لاَ يَتَعَلَّمُهُ إِلاَّ لِيُصِيبَ بِهِ عَرَضاً مِنَ الدُّنْيَا
لَمْ يَجِدْ عَرْفَ الْجَنَّةِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
Shaykh Al-Albaanee called it saheeh in his checking of Sunan Abee Daawood, #3664.
May Allaah grant the sincerity in the dunyaa that leads to the safety of the aakhirah.
