Narrated Abu Darda (ra):

Kathir ibn Qays said: I was sitting with Abu Darda (ra) in the mosque
of Damascus.

A man came to him and said: Abu Darda (ra), I have come to you from the
town of the Apostle of Allah (saw) for a tradition that I have heard
you relate from the Apostle of Allah (saw). I have come for no other
purpose.

He said: I heard the Apostle of Allah (saw) say: If anyone travels on a
road in search of knowledge, Allah will cause him to travel on one of
the roads of Paradise. The angels will lower their wings in their great
pleasure with one who seeks knowledge, the inhabitants of the heavens
and the Earth and the fish in the deep waters will ask forgiveness for
the learned man. The superiority of the learned man over the devout is
like that of the moon, on the night when it is full, over the rest of
the stars. The learned are the heirs of the Prophets, and the Prophets
leave neither dinar nor dirham, leaving only knowledge, and he who
takes it takes an abundant portion. (Kitab-ul-Ilm, Sunan Abu Dawud)
