Imaam Aboo Faraj
Abdur-Rahmaan ibn Abee Hasan Ibn Jawzee al-Hanbalee said:
The sweetness that the
students of knowledge feels is from the sweetness that no one can ever enjoy,
even more so than the sweetest of honeys. This is because the students gains
what he seeks for. Since I was a child I would take with me a loaf of bread and
then go out and seek Hadeeth. I would sit during the day and I would not
be able to eat this bread except if I had water. Every time I ate a morsel I would drink some
water with it and my main worry or concern was that I couldn’t taste the deliciousness
of gaining knowledge.
Sayd al-Khaatir Pg. 151
