Majma al-Zawaid 517 — Encouraging the young to seek knowledge
وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ : مَا بَعَثَ اللَّهُ نَبِيًّا إِلَّا وَهُوَ شَابٌّ ، وَلَا أُوتِيَ عَالِمٌ عِلْمًا إِلَّا وَهُوَ شَابٌّ .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَفِيهِ قَابُوسُ بْنُ أَبِي ظَبْيَانَ ، وَثَّقَهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ فِي رِوَايَةٍ ، وَضَعَّفَهُ فِي أُخْرَى ، وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَدِيٍّ : أَرْجُو أَنَّهُ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ ، وَضَعَّفَهُ أَحْمَدُ .

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: "Whatever prophet Allah Almighty sent, he was young (at the time of being sent), and whatever scholar was given knowledge, he was young (at that time) (that is, knowledge is what is acquired in youth)."
Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains a narrator, Qabus bin Abi Zabyan. According to one report Yahya bin Ma'in declared him thiqah (trustworthy), and according to another he declared him da'if (weak). Ibn Adi says: I hope there is no harm in him. Imam Ahmad declared this narrator da'if (weak).
