Safwan ibn ‘Assal reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
مَا مِنْ خَارِجٍ خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ فِي طَلَبِ الْعِلْمِ إِلَّا وَضَعَتْ لَهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَجْنِحَتَهَا رِضًا بِمَا يَصْنَعُ
No one leaves their house in search of knowledge but that angels will lower their wings in approval of what he is doing.
