أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بِسْطَامَ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَمْزَةَ حَدَّثَنِي النُّعْمَانُ عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ

«مَنْ طَلَبَ الْعِلْمَ لِيُبَاهِيَ بِهِ الْعُلَمَاءَ أَوْ لِيُمَارِيَ بِهِ السُّفَهَاءَ أَوْ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُقْبِلَ بِوُجُوهِ النَّاسِ إِلَيْهِ أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ جَهَنَّمَ»
