What is the authenticity of the hadith: "Whoever is overtaken by death while seeking knowledge to revive Islam, there will be but one degree between him and the prophets in Paradise"?

This Hadith was narrated by Al-Tabarani in Al-Awsat with the wording: "Whoever is approached by his death while he is seeking knowledge, will meet Allah with nothing between him and the prophets except the rank of prophethood." Al-Haythami and Al-Albani graded it as weak.

And Allah knows best.
