أَخْبَرَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ
مَنْ عَلِمَ مِنْكُمْ عِلْمًا فَلْيَقُلْ بِهِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَعْلَمْ فَلْيَقُلْ لِمَا لَا يَعْلَمُ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ فَإِنَّ الْعَالِمَ إِذَا سُئِلَ عَمَّا لَا يَعْلَمُ قَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ أَعْلَمُ وَقَدْ قَالَ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِهِ {قُلْ مَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُتَكَلِّفِينَ} [ص 86]

✧ Whoever among you has knowledge, let him speak by it, and whoever does not know, let him say about what he does not know, 'Allah knows best.' For when a scholar is asked about what he does not know, he says, 'Allah ﷻ knows best.' And Allah said to His Messenger: {Say: I do not ask you for any reward for it, and I am not of the pretenders} [Sad 86].
