أَخْبَرَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ حَدَّثَنَا حَرِيزٌ عَنْ سَلْمَانَ بْنِ سُمَيْرٍ عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ قَالَ

«لَا تُحَدِّثِ الْبَاطِلَ الْحُكَمَاءَ فَيَمْقُتُوكَ وَلَا تُحَدِّثِ الْحِكْمَةَ لِلسُّفَهَاءِ فَيُكَذِّبُوكَ وَلَا تَمْنَعِ الْعِلْمَ أَهْلَهُ فَتَأْثَمَ وَلَا تَضَعْهُ فِي غَيْرِ أَهْلِهِ فَتُجَهَّلَ إِنَّ عَلَيْكَ فِي عِلْمِكَ حَقًّا كَمَا أَنَّ عَلَيْكَ فِي مَالِكَ حَقًّا»

✧ Do not tell falsehood to the wise, lest they hate you. Do not tell wisdom to the foolish, lest they deny you. Do not withhold knowledge from its people, lest you sin. Do not place it with other than its people, lest you be considered ignorant. Indeed, you have a duty regarding your knowledge just as you have a duty regarding your wealth.
