Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 22211a
"مَنْ طَلَبَ العِلْمَ لِيُمَارِي بِهِ السُّفَهَاءَ، أَوْ يُكَاثِرَ بهِ العُلَمَاءَ، أَوْ يَصْرِفَ بِهِ وجُوهَ النَّاسِ إِلَيهِ فلْيَتَبَوَّأ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ".

"Whoever seeks knowledge in order to argue with the foolish, or to outnumber the scholars with it, or to turn the faces of people towards himself, let him take his seat in the Fire."
