حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ قَالَ: نَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ: نَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ دَرَّاجٍ أَبِي السَّمْحِ، عَنْ أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حُجَيْرَةَ. عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ:
مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَتَعَلَّمُ الْعِلْمَ، ثُمَّ لَا يُحَدِّثُ بِهِ، كَمَثَلِ الَّذِي يَكْنِزُ الْكَنْزَ، فَلَا يُنْفِقُ مِنْهُ
