أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَاصِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ هُوَ ابْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ زرٍّ ، قَالَ : غَدَوْتُ عَلَى صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَسَّالٍ الْمُرَادِيِّ ، وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ عَنْ الْمَسْحِ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ، فَقَالَ : مَا جَاءَ بِكَ؟، قُلْتُ : ابْتِغَاءُ الْعِلْمِ، قَالَ : أَلَا أُبَشِّرُكَ؟، قُلْتُ : بَلَى، فَقَالَ : رَفَعَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَقَالَ :" إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَتَضَعُ أَجْنِحَتَهَا لِطَالِبِ الْعِلْمِ، رِضًا بِمَا يَطْلُبُ "

Amr bin Asim told us, Hammad, who is Ibn Salamah, told us, on the authority of Asim, on the authority of Zirr, he said: I went out in the morning to see Safwan bin Assal Al-Muradi, And I wanted to ask him about wiping over the socks. He said: What brings you? I said: seeking knowledge. He said: Shall I not bring you good tidings? I said: Yes. He said: He transmitted the hadith to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and he said: “The angels spread their wings to the seeker of knowledge, content with what he seeks.”
