The Sufficient (Vol 1) · Hadith 52 (#Ḥadīth #7)

7ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله عَنْ آبَائِهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ لا خَيْرَ فِي الْعَيْشِ إِلا لِرَجُلَيْنِ عَالِمٍ مُطَاعٍ أَوْ مُسْتَمِعٍ وَاعٍ.

7. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from al-Nawfali from al-Sakuni that Abu ‘Abdillah (al-Sadiq) narrated from his forefathers that Rasulullah ﷺ said: 'There is no goodness in life except for two kinds of people, a scholar who is obeyed or an audience who listen carefully.'
