عَنِ الْحَسَنِ مُرْسَلًا قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ جَاءَهُ الْمَوْتُ وَهُوَ يَطْلُبُ الْعِلْمَ لِيُحْيِيَ بِهِ الْإِسْلَامَ فَبَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ النَّبِيِّينَ دَرَجَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ» . رَوَاهُ الدَّارمِيّ

Ibn Mas'ud reported that God's messenger said to him, "Acquireknowledge and teach it to the people, learn the obligatory duties andteach them to the people, learn the Qur’an and teach it to the people;for I am a man who will be taken away, knowledge will be taken away,dissensions will appear, so that two men will disagree about an obligatory duty and find no one to decide between them.” Darimi andDaraqutni transmitted it.
