2649. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whoever is asked about some knowledge that he knows, then he conceals it, he will be bridled with bridle of fire." (Hasan) There is something on this topic from Jābir and 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr. [Abū 'Eisā said:] The Hadīth of Abū Hurairah is Hasan.
٢٦٤٩ - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ بُدَيْلِ بْنِ قُرَيْشٍ الْيَامِيُّ الْكُوفِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ زَاذَانَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ سُئِلَ عَنْ عِلْمٍ عَلِمَهُ ثُمَّ كَتَمَهُ، أُلْجِمَ» يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِلِجَامٍ مِنْ نَارٍ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ، وَعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو. حَدِيثُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ.

The true objective of seeking knowledge is to propagate and spread it and to make the unmindful aware of it, and a knowledgeable person who keeps quiet at an opportunity where he should speak and he does not tell the truth, he deserves such punishment that his tongue is to be reined, because he bridled himself with the rein of silence and quietness.
