حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي خَيْثَمَةَ قَالَ: نَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الْكُرَيْزِيُّ: ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ: نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
لَا يَنْبَغِي لِلْعَالِمِ أَنْ يَسْكُتَ عَلَى عِلْمِهِ، وَلَا يَنْبَغِي لِلْجَاهِلِ أَنْ يَسْكُتَ عَلَى جَهْلِهِ، قَالَ اللهُ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ: فَاسْأَلُوا أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ لا تَعْلَمُونَ
