حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الأَزْهَرِ حَدَّثَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ جَمِيلٍ حَدَّثَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ
مَنْ سُئِلَ عَنْ عِلْمٍ فَكَتَمَهُ أُلْجِمَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِلِجَامٍ مِنْ نَارٍ
