أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْثَرٌ عَنْ بُرْدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُوسَى الدِّمَشْقِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ
«لَا تَكُونُ عَالِمًا حَتَّى تَكُونَ مُتَعَلِّمًا وَلَا تَكُونُ بِالْعِلْمِ عَالِمًا حَتَّى تَكُونَ بِهِ عَامِلًا وَكَفَى بِكَ إِثْمًا أَنْ لَا تَزَالَ مُخَاصِمًا وَكَفَى بِكَ إِثْمًا أَنْ لَا تَزَالَ مُمَارِيًا وَكَفَى بِكَ كَاذِبًا أَنْ لَا تَزَالَ مُحَدِّثًا فِي غَيْرِ ذَاتِ اللَّهِ ﷻ»

✧ “You will not be a scholar until you are a learner, and you will not be a scholar through knowledge until you act upon it. It is enough of a sin for you that you never cease disputing, and it is enough of a sin for you that you never cease arguing, and it is enough of a lie for you that you never cease speaking about other than the sake of Allah ﷻ.”
