On the authority of Yahyaa ibn Abi Bukayr رحمه الله, who said it was said to :
‘Until when will you [continue to] seek [knowledge of] hadeeth?’
He said: ‘And what better good is there than the good of hadeeth, such that I may pursue it? Indeed, [knowledge of] hadeeth is the best of [all] the knowledge of this world.’
