أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ ثُوَيْرٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ جَعْدَةَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ

«يَا حَمَلَةَ الْعِلْمِ اعْمَلُوا بِهِ فَإِنَّمَا الْعَالِمُ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِمَا عَلِمَ وَوَافَقَ عِلْمُهُ عَمَلَهُ وَسَيَكُونُ أَقْوَامٌ يَحْمِلُونَ الْعِلْمَ لَا يُجَاوِزُ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ يُخَالِفُ عَمَلُهُمْ عِلْمَهُمْ وَتُخَالِفُ سَرِيرَتُهُمْ عَلَانِيَتَهُمْ يَجْلِسُونَ حِلَقًا فَيُبَاهِيَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَغْضَبُ عَلَى جَلِيسِهِ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ وَيَدَعَهُ أُولَئِكَ لَا تَصْعَدُ أَعْمَالُهُمْ فِي مَجَالِسِهِمْ تِلْكَ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى»

✧ O bearers of knowledge, act upon it. For the scholar is only one who acts upon what he knows and whose knowledge matches his action. There will be people who carry knowledge that does not go beyond their collarbones: their actions contradict their knowledge, and their inner state contradicts their outward appearance. They sit in circles, each one vying with the other, until a man becomes angry with his companion for sitting with someone else and leaving him. Those are people whose deeds do not ascend to Allah, the Exalted, from those gatherings of theirs.
