قَالَ أَحْمَدُ فِي الزُّهْدِ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ قَالَ:

بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ لُقْمَانَ الْحَكِيمَ، كَانَ يَقُولُ: يَا بُنَيَّ لَا تَتَعَلَّمِ الْعِلْمَ لِتُبَاهِيَ بِهِ الْعُلَمَاءَ، وَتُمَارِيَ بِهِ السُّفَهَاءَ، وَتُرَائِيَ بِهِ فِي الْمَجَالِسِ، وَلَا تَتْرُكِ الْعِلْمَ زُهْدًا فِيهِ، وَرَغْبَةً فِي الْجَهْلِ، يَا بُنَيَّ إِذَا رَأَيْتَ قَوْمًا يَذْكُرُونَ اللهَ تَعَالَى، فَاجْلِسْ مَعَهُمْ، فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ تَكُ عَالِمًا يَنْفَعْكَ عِلْمُكَ، وَإِنْ تَكُ جَاهِلًا يُعَلِّمُوكَ، وَلَعَلَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى أَنْ يَطَّلِعَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِرَحْمَتِهِ، فَتُصِيبَكَ مَعَهُمْ

✧ It has reached me that Luqman the Wise used to say: 'O my son, do not learn knowledge to boast with it among the scholars, to argue with the foolish, or to show off with it in gatherings. And do not abandon knowledge out of disdain for it, preferring ignorance. O my son, when you see a people remembering Allah, Exalted, sit with them. For if you are learned, your knowledge will benefit you; and if you are ignorant, they will teach you. And perhaps Allah, Exalted, will look upon them with His mercy, and it will reach you along with them.'
