Question

Please provide the reference for this narration:

ما ازداد عبد بالله علما إلا ازداد الناس منه قربا من رحمة الله

 

Answer

Imams Darimi, Ibn ‘Abdil Barr and Abu Nu’aym (rahimahumullah) have recorded this narration as the statement of Hassan ibn ‘Atiyyah, a Tabi’i.

Hassan ibn ‘Atiyyah (rahimahullah) said: “As one increases in knowledge [for the sake of] Allah, people will draw nearer to him out of the mercy of Allah.”
