The : "If a day comes upon me in which I do not increase in knowledge, then there is no blessing in the rising of the sun of that day" is a fabricated and unauthentic Hadith. It was narrated by Al-Hakam ibn Abdullah Al-Aili, who is accused of lying and fabricating Hadith. Furthermore, its text is denounced because it contains an imprecation against oneself, wishing for a lack of blessing.
