قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الصَّلْتُ بْنُ بَهْرَامَ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ:
لَا تَعَلَّمُوا الْعِلْمَ لِتُبَاهُوا بِهِ الْعُلَمَاءَ، وَلَا لِتُمَارُوا بِهِ السُّفَهَاءَ، وَلَا لِتُحَيِّرُوا أَعْيُنَ النَّاسِ، فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ فِي النَّارِ
