أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا حَرِيزٌ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ
كَانَ يُقَالُ «تَعَلَّمُوا الْعِلْمَ وَانْتَفِعُوا بِهِ وَلَا تَعَلَّمُوهُ لِتَتَجَمَّلُوا بِهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُوشِكُ إِنْ طَالَ بِكُمْ عُمُرٌ أَنْ يَتَجَمَّلَ ذُو الْعِلْمِ بِعِلْمِهِ كَمَا يَتَجَمَّلُ ذُو الْبِزَّةِ بِبِزَّتِهِ»

✧ It is said, "Learn knowledge and benefit from it, and do not learn it for the purpose of showing off, for it is very likely that if your life span is prolonged, the person with knowledge will show off with his knowledge just as the person with a fine garment shows off with his garment."
