English translation

259. It was narrated that Hudhaifah said: "I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say: 'Do not acquire knowledge in order to show off before the scholars, or to argue with the foolish, or to attract people's attention, for whoever does that will be in Hell.'" (Da'if)

Arabic text

259 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ الْعَبَّادَانِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بَشِيرُ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَشْعَثَ بْنَ سَوَّارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «لَا تَعَلَّمُوا الْعِلْمَ لِتُبَاهُوا بِهِ الْعُلَمَاءَ، أَوْ لِتُمَارُوا بِهِ السُّفَهَاءَ، أَوْ لِتَصْرِفُوا وُجُوهَ النَّاسِ إِلَيْكُمْ، فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ فِي النَّارِ»
