Hadith 368

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَاصِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ هُوَ ابْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ زرٍّ، قَالَ: غَدَوْتُ عَلَى صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَسَّالٍ الْمُرَادِيِّ، وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ عَنْ الْمَسْحِ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ، فَقَالَ: مَا جَاءَ بِكَ ؟، قُلْتُ: ابْتِغَاءُ الْعِلْمِ، قَالَ: أَلَا أُبَشِّرُكَ ؟، قُلْتُ: بَلَى، فَقَالَ: رَفَعَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَقَالَ: "إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَتَضَعُ أَجْنِحَتَهَا لِطَالِبِ الْعِلْمِ، رِضًا بِمَا يَطْلُبُ".
It is narrated from Dhirr that I went to Safwan bin Assal al-Muradi (because) I wanted to ask him about wiping over leather socks. He said: What has brought you to me? I said: The pursuit of knowledge. He said: Shall I not give you glad tidings? I said: Please do. So he narrated, attributing it to the Prophet (peace be upon him), that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Indeed, the angels spread their wings for the seeker of knowledge, being pleased with what he seeks."

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Muhammad Ibrahim bin Basheer
Benefit:
In this hadith, the virtue of the student of knowledge is mentioned, that the angels spread their wings for him. Also, wiping over the leather socks (khuffayn) is established, and a traveler may wipe over the leather socks for three days and three nights. From this hadith, it is also established that every sleep which can be called sleep, whether little or much, nullifies ablution (wudu), because in this hadith, sleep is mentioned alongside urination and defecation. Just as ablution is nullified whether a little or much urine or feces is discharged, likewise, whether sleep is little or much, it also nullifies ablution. Furthermore, in whatever state sleep occurs, ablution is nullified, just as in whatever state urine or feces is discharged, ablution is nullified.
