It is narrated from him (Anas) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "There are two types of people who will never be satisfied: the one who is greedy for knowledge, and the one who is greedy for the world. The one who seeks knowledge will never be satisfied with it, and the one who seeks the world will never be satisfied with it." [Narrated by al-Bayhaqi in "Shu'ab al-Iman]
