Knowledge and the Virtue of Learning It

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Holy Prophet [s] said: "He who searches for knowledge is similar to a person who fasts during the day and keeps vigil at night and is busy worshipping. If a person acquires a branch of knowledge, it is better for him than possessing as much gold as the height of Abu Qubais Mount which he would distribute in the way of Allah."

Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol.1, p.184

Imam Zayn-ul-'Abideen [a] said: "Were people aware of what lies in the obtainment of knowledge, they would pursue it even though they had to make voyages and endanger their lives to obtain it."

Usul-I-Kafi, vol. 1, p. 35

Imam Amir ul Mu'mineen Ali [a] said: "Acquiring knowledge is not possible while the body (person) is tranquil."
