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

✧ Whoever seeks knowledge for four things will enter the Fire – or words to that effect: to vie with the scholars thereby, to argue with the foolish thereby, to turn people’s faces toward him thereby, or to receive something from the rulers thereby.
