من سلك طريقا فيه يلتمس علما سهل الله له طريقا إلى الجنة
Whoever takes a path seeking knowledge, Allah makes easy for him a path to Paradise
Hadith Number: 304
فحدثناه ابو العباس محمد بن يعقوب - واللفظ له - حدثنا الحسن بن علي بن عفان، حدثنا ابن نمير، عن الاعمش، عن ابي صالح، عن ابي هريرة قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ:"من سلك طريقا يلتمس فيه علما، سهل الله له طريقا إلى الجنة" (4).
هذا حديث صحيح على شرط الشيخين، ولم يخرجاه! واللفظة التي اسندها زائدة قد وقفها غيره (1)، فاما طلب العلم فلم يختلف على الاعمش في سنده.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever travels a path to acquire knowledge, Allah will make easy for him the path to Paradise."
This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it! The wording which Za'idah narrated as marfu' (attributed to the Prophet) others have reported as mawquf (stopping at the Companion); as for the seeking of knowledge, there is no disagreement from al-A'mash in its chain.

(4) إسناده صحيح. ابن نمير: هو عبد الله. ¤ ¤ وأخرجه أحمد 12/ (7427)، ومسلم (2699) من طريق عبد الله بن نمير، بهذا الإسناد. فاستدراك الحاكم له ذهولٌ منه.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): Apparently he means this part of the hadith: "Whoever is held back by his deeds (will not be advanced by his lineage)."
Important point: This phrase is marfu' according to the majority of al-A'mash's students, and the narrator Za'idah is not alone in narrating it as marfu'.
