Majma al-Zawaid 489 — The virtue of the scholar and the learner
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ : قَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ مَثَلَ الْعُلَمَاءِ فِي الْأَرْضِ كَمَثَلِ النُّجُومِ فِي السَّمَاءِ ، يُهْتَدَى بِهَا فِي ظُلُمَاتِ الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ ، فَإِذَا انْطَمَسَتِ النُّجُومُ أَوْشَكَ أَنْ تَضِلَّ الْهُدَاةُ " .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَفِيهِ رِشْدِينُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، وَاخْتُلِفَ فِي الِاحْتِجَاجِ بِهِ ، وَأَبُو حَفْصٍ صَاحِبُ أَنَسٍ مَجْهُولٌ . وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ .

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The example of the scholars on earth is that of the stars in the sky, by which guidance is sought in the darkness of land and sea. When the stars are extinguished (that is, hidden), it is likely that the guides will go astray."
Ahmad recorded it; its chain contains Rishdin bin Sa'd, about whose use as evidence there is disagreement, and Abu Hafs, the student of Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), is also majhul (unknown). And Allah knows best.
