Seek knowledge even at an old age!
It is narrated by Salih Ibn Ahmad Ibn Hanbal that a man saw a writing slate with Ahmad Ibn Hanbal and said to him:
“O Abu Abdullah, you have reached this age, and you are the Imam of the Muslims, yet you still carry a writing slate?” Imam Ahmad responded: “With the inkwell to the grave.”
[Ibn Jawzi, Manaqib al-Imam Ahmad]
When Abdullah Ibn al-Mubarak was asked: “Until when will you continue seeking knowledge?” He replied: “Until death, if Allah wills.”

Yaqut al-Hamawi
If you had seen the young Yaqut al-Hamawi as a child, you would probably never have expected him to become one of the most important scholars in Arabic literature, geography, and history.
Yaqut was of Byzantine ancestry and was sold into slavery at a young age. His owner was a merchant who was not skilled in reading or writing, so he sent Yaqut to be educated. This gave him an ability to enter an environment of learning and eventually become a great scholar.
His most famous work, Mu'jam al-Buldan, a geographical dictionary covering cities, regions, and other places mentioned in the Arabic literary tradition. He also recorded information about their names, origins, locations, and histories.
What makes his work especially valuable is that Yaqut preserved poetry that is since been lost. Because he recorded them, later historians and researchers refer back to his work.
