أَخْبَرَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ الْعَمِّيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيُّ عَنْ هَرِمِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ

«إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْعَالِمَ الْفَاسِقَ» فَبَلَغَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ وَأَشْفَقَ مِنْهَا مَا الْعَالِمُ الْفَاسِقُ؟ قَالَ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ هَرِمٌ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَرَدْتُ بِهِ إِلَّا الْخَيْرَ يَكُونُ إِمَامٌ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْعِلْمِ وَيَعْمَلُ بِالْفِسْقِ فَيُشَبِّهُ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَيَضِلُّوا

✧ Beware of the sinful scholar. This reached ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb, and he wrote to him, being alarmed by it: What is the sinful scholar? He said: So he wrote back to him: Hirm, O Commander of the Believers, by Allah I intended nothing but good by it. It is an imam who speaks with knowledge but acts with sin, and he confuses the people, so they go astray.
