Who are the two greedy ones?
Hadith 18
حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ لَيْثِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَحْسَبُهُ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ: ((مَنْهُومَانِ لَا يَقْضِي اِحَدَهَمَا هَمَّتُهُ ، مَنْهُومٌ فِي طَلَبِ الْعِلْمِ لَا يَقْضِي نَهْمَتُهُ، وَمَنْهُومٌ فِي طَلَبِ الدُّنْيَا لَا تَنْقَضِي نَهْمَتُهُ)).
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) reports in a marfu‘ narration that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “There are two greedy ones, the greed of neither of them ends: the one who is greedy for seeking knowledge, his greed does not end; and the one who is greedy for seeking wealth, his greed also does not end.”
