It is well known how the Salaf would strive whilst travelling to in order to seek knowledge and they would go through trials and tribulations.
Ibn Taahir al Maqdasee رحمه الله said:
"
I urinated blood twice whilst seeking hadeeth, once in Baghdad and
another in Makkah. I used to walk barefooted in the heat and it overtook me --
not once did I get on a riding beast whilst seeking hadeeth, I would
carry my books on my back, I never asked anyone (for anything) at the time of
request, I used to live upon whatever comes (in aid)." (1)
