"عَنْ عَلِى أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يَا حَمَلَةَ (القرآن)! اعْمَلوُا بِهِ، فَإنَّمَا الْعَالِمُ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِمَا عَلِمَ، وَوَافَقَ عَمَلُهُ عِلْمِه، وَسَيَكُونُ أَقْوَامٌ يَحْمِلُونَ الْعِلْمَ لاَ يَتَجَاَوَزُ تَرَاقِيهُمْ، تُخَالِفُ سَرِيرَتُهُمْ عَلاَنِيَتَهُمْ، وَيُخَالِفُ عَمَلُهُمْ عِلْمَهُمْ، يَجْلِسُونَ حِلَقًا فَيُبَاهِى بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا، حَتَّى إِنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ لَيَغْضَبُ عَلَى جَلِيسِهِ حِينَ يَجْلِسُ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ وَيَدَعُه، أُولَئِكَ (لا تصْعَدُ أعمالهم) فِى مَجَالِسِهْم تِلكَ إِلَى اللهِ".

"From Ali that he said: O bearers of (the Quran)! Act upon it, for the scholar is one who acts on what he knows and whose action agrees with his knowledge. There will come peoples who carry knowledge that does not pass beyond their collarbones; their secret selves oppose their public selves, and their actions oppose their knowledge. They sit in circles and boast over one another, until one of them becomes angry with his companion when he sits with another and leaves him. Those, their deeds do not ascend to Allah from their gatherings."
