"العَالِمُ عَالِمَانِ: عَالِمٌ طَلَبَ بِعِلْمِهِ الله لَمْ يَأخُذْ عليه طَمَعًا وَلَمْ يَشْتَرِ بِهِ ثَمنًا، وعَالِمٌ طَلَبَ بَعِلْمِهِ الدنيَا، اشتَرى به ثمنًا وأَخَذَ عَلَيه طمَعًا بَخِلَ بِهِ على عبادِ الله، يُلْجِمُهُ القيامَة بِلِجَامٍ مِنْ نارٍ فَيُنَادِى عَلَيهِ مَلَكٌ منَ الملائكةِ: أَلا إِنَّ هَذَا فُلانُ ابنُ فُلانٍ آتَاهُ الله في دَارِ الدُّنْيا عِلمًا فاشْتَرى به ثمنًا وأَخَذَ عليه طَمَعًا، فَلا يَزَالُ يُنَادِى عليهِ حتى يُفْرَغَ من النَّاسِ ثمَّ يَصْنَعُ الله بهِ ما أَحَبَّ ".
Translation
Machine translation, not reviewed
"The scholar is of two kinds: a scholar who sought by his knowledge Allah, taking no greed for it and not buying a price with it; and a scholar who sought by his knowledge the world, bought a price with it, took greed from it, and was stingy with it toward the servants of Allah. On the Day of Resurrection he will be bridled with a bridle of fire, and an angel will call out over him: 'Behold, this is so-and-so son of so-and-so, whom Allah gave knowledge in the worldly abode, but he bought a price with it and took greed from it.' He will keep being called out over until he is finished with people, then Allah will do with him what He wishes."
