مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَخْرُجُ فِي طَلَبِ الْعِلْمِ إِلَّا بَسَطَتْ لَهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَجْنِحَتَهَا رِضًى بِمَا يَفْعَلُ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ
No man goes out seeking knowledge but the angels spread their wings for him, pleased with what he does, until he returns
Mustadrak al-Hakim — Hadith 347
اُردوEn
حدَّثَناه أبو العباس محمد بن يعقوب، حدثنا الحسن بن علي بن عفّان، حدثنا يحيى بن فَصِيل (2)، حدثنا الحسن بن صالح، حدثني أبو جَنَابٍ، حدثني طلحةُ بن مُصرِّف: أن زِرَّ بن حُبيش أتى صفوانَ بن عسّال فقال: ما غَدَا بك إليَّ؟ قال: غَدًا بيَ الْتماسُ العلم، قال: أما إنه ليس يَصنَعُ ما صنعت أحدٌ، إِلَّا وَضَعَت له الملائكةُ أجنحتَها رِضًى بما يَصنَع، وذكر باقي الحديث (3). هذا مما لا يُوهِنُ هذا الحديث، فقد أسنَدَه جماعةٌ وأوقَفَه جماعة، والذي أسنده أحفظُ، والزِّيادة منهم مقبولة.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Safwan bin Assal (may Allah be pleased with him) that Zirr bin Hubaysh came to him. Safwan asked: "What has brought you to me this morning?" He said: "I have come seeking knowledge." Safwan said: "Listen! Whoever sets out, as you have, in search of knowledge, the angels lower their wings for him, pleased with what he does."
Abu Janab al-Kalbi narrated it as mawquf (a statement of the Companion), but he does not meet the conditions of this book; however, this does not weaken the hadith, because a group narrated it as marfu' (as a saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)), and those who narrated it as marfu' are better at memorisation, and the addition they narrate is accepted.

(2) تصحف في (ع) والمطبوع إلى: فضيل. وقد ضبطه بالصاد المهملة المصنفُ في "سؤالات السجزي له" (82)، والدارقطني في "المؤتلف والمختلف" 4/ 1817، وغيرهما كالخطيب البغدادي في "تلخيص المتشابه في الرسم" 1/ 246 وقال: بفتح الفاء وكسر الصاد المهملة.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): In the printed edition this name has mistakenly become "Fudayl" (with dad), whereas the correct name is "Fasil" (with sad), as Imam al-Hakim, Imam al-Daraqutni and al-Khatib al-Baghdadi stated explicitly. According to al-Khatib al-Baghdadi it is read with a fathah on the fa' and a kasrah under the sad.

(3) صحيح بما قبله، وهذا إسناد ضعيف لضعف أبي جناب: وهو يحيى بن أبي حية الكلبي.
Grading: The hadith is "sahih" on the basis of other supporting reports, but this chain is "weak" because of the weakness of Abu Janab (Yahya bin Abi Hayyah al-Kalbi).
وأما يحيى بن فصيل فقد روى عنه اثنان ثقتان على الأقل وذكره ابن أبي حاتم في "الجرح والتعديل" 9/ 181 فلم يأثر فيه جرحًا أو تعديلًا، وهو متابَع فيما يرويه، فهو حسن الحديث إن شاء الله تعالى.
Grading: The narrator Yahya bin Fasil is "hasan al-hadith" (in sha' Allah).
Technical note / Defect ('illah): At least two thiqah narrators narrated from him, and Ibn Abi Hatim mentioned him in his book but reported no criticism of him; moreover, he is corroborated.
وأخرجه ابن الأعرابي في "المعجم" (1402)، والطبراني في "الكبير" (7349) - وعنه أبو نعيم في "الحلية" 5/ 22 - من طريق الحسن بن علي بن عفان، بهذا الإسناد.
Reference / Source: Ibn al-A'rabi narrated it in "al-Mu'jam" (1402) and al-Tabarani in "al-Kabir" (7349) via al-Hasan bin Ali bin Affan, and via al-Tabarani Abu Nu'aym transmitted it in "al-Hilyah" (5/ 22).
