The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "A believer never satisfies doing good until he reaches Jannah." <b>[At- Tirmidhi]</b>.
وعن أبي سعيد الخدري رضي الله عنه عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:
لن يشبع مؤمن من خير حتى يكون منتهاه الجنة
((رواه الترمذي وقال حديث حسن)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) A seeker of knowledge will not find it enough to pursue knowledge or do good until he meets his Lord (i.e. until he dies).<br>
2) The believer has high aspirations. He is only content with entering Paradise.<br>
<br>
<b>Benefit:</b><br>
Imām Ahmad (may Allah have mercy upon him) was asked: “Until when will you continue to seek knowledge?” He replied: “With the inkwell till I go to the grave.” This is reported by Al-Khatib al-Baghdādi in his book Sharaf As'hāb al-Hadith.
