By Imam Ibn al-Jawzi al-Hanbali
Translation by Ustadh Abdus Shakur Brooks
Muhammad bin. Abī Mansūr reported to me from…[1], that Anas bin. Mālik (رضي الله عنه) said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Seeking knowledge is obligatory upon every Muslim.”
Alī bin. Al-Fadl said that Ibn Abī Dawūd said, “I heard my father [Abū Dawūd] say, ‘There is no other chain of narration regarding this hadith sounder than this [chain]’ “[2].
