أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْمَاعِيلَ هُوَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْمُؤَدِّبُ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ عَنْ مَنْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ

مَنْ طَلَبَ الْعِلْمَ لِأَرْبَعٍ دَخَلَ النَّارَ أَوْ نَحْوَ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةِ لِيُبَاهِيَ بِهِ الْعُلَمَاءَ أَوْ لِيُمَارِيَ بِهِ السُّفَهَاءَ أَوْ لِيَصْرِفَ بِهِ وُجُوهَ النَّاسِ إِلَيْهِ أَوْ لِيَأْخُذَ بِهِ مِنَ الْأُمَرَاءِ
