The Prophet (ﷺ) 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 [worshipper] 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.” Sahih (Al-Albani) Sunan Abi Dawud 3641

The Prophet ﷺ:…“Whoever follows a path in pursuit of knowledge, Allah will make easy for him a path to paradise. No people gather in one of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and teaching it to one another, but the angels will surround them, tranquility will descend upon them, mercy will envelop them and Allah will mention them to those who are with Him…” — (Sunan Ibn Majah, 225 (Sahih))
Imam Ahmad رَحِمَهُ ٱللَّٰهُ said: “People are in greater need of knowledge than food and drink, because food and drink are needed once or twice a day, but knowledge is needed at all times.”
— Miftaah Daar Al-Sa’aadah
Shaykh al-'Uthaymin رَحِمَهُ ٱللَّٰهُ said:
[Seeking] knowledge, in reality, is from the most virtuous and honorable acts of worship and greatest in benefit. Hence, you will find Shaytān persistent in keeping people away from [seeking] knowledge.
Shaykh 'Abdur-Razzāq al-Badr حفظه الله said:
It is incumbent that every day, a person has his portion and share of [seeking and learning beneficial] knowledge.
