أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ أَنَّ أَبَا فَرْوَةَ حَدَّثَهُ
أَنَّ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ كَانَ يَقُولُ «لَا تَمْنَعِ الْعِلْمَ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ فَتَأْثَمَ وَلَا تَنْشُرْهُ عِنْدَ غَيْرِ أَهْلِهِ فَتُجَهَّلَ وَكُنْ طَبِيبًا رَفِيقًا يَضَعُ دَوَاءَهُ حَيْثُ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ يَنْفَعُ»
