It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Begin your morning as a scholar, or a student, or a listener (attentive to knowledge), or one who loves (the people of knowledge), and do not be the fifth, or you will be ruined."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Khalid al-Hadhdha' except Ata bin Muslim; Ubayd bin Jannad is alone in narrating it."
