The question

How sound are the Hadiths: "There is no good in anyone from my Ummah who is neither a scholar nor a student of knowledge," "Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave," "Knowledge is game, and writing is a snare; snare your knowledge—may God have mercy on you—with writing," "Among the manners of a believer are good speech when he speaks, good listening when he is spoken to, a cheerful face when he meets others, and fulfilling a promise when he makes one," and "Whoever believes in God and the Last Day should honor his neighbor"?

The answer

Among the mentioned hadiths, "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him honor his neighbor" is authentic, narrated by the Two Shaykhs and others. As for "From the manners of the believer is good speech...", it is weak because its chain of narration contains an unknown narrator. What is besides these has not been found in the books of hadith, and it is most likely from the sayings of orators.
