حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُعَافَى بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْبَرَاءِ قَالَا ثنا الْمُعَافَى بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ثنا مُوسَى بْنُ أَعْيَنَ عَنْ لَيْثٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ مُحْرِزٍ عَنْ جُنْدُبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ أَنَّهُ مَرَّ بِقَوْمٍ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ فَقَالَ
لَا يَغُرَّنَّكَ هَؤُلَاءِ إِنَّهُمْ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ الْيَوْمَ ويَتَجَالَدُونَ بِالسُّيُوفِ غَدًا ثُمَّ قَالَ ائْتِنِي بِنَفَرٍ مِنْ قُرَّاءِ الْقُرْآنِ ولْيَكُونوا شُيُوخًا فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِنَافِعِ بْنِ الْأَزْرَقِ وأَتَيْتُهُ بِمِرْدَاسٍ أَبِي بِلَالٍ وَبِنَفَرٍ مَعَهُمَا سِتَّةٍ أَوْ ثَمَانِيَةٍ فَلَمَّا أَنْ دَخَلْنَا عَلَى جُنْدُبٍ قَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَثَلُ مَنْ يُعَلِّمُ النَّاسَ الْخَيْرَ ويَنْسَى نَفْسَهُ كَمَثَلِ الْمِصْبَاحِ الَّذِي يُضِيءُ لِلنَّاسِ وَيَحْرِقُ نَفْسَهُ وَمَنْ رَاءَى النَّاسَ بِعِلْمِهِ رَاءَى اللهُ بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمَنْ سَمَّعَ النَّاسَ بِعَمَلِهِ سَمَّعَ اللهُ بِهِ»

✧ Do not let these people deceive you. They recite the Quran today and will fight one another with swords tomorrow. Then he said: Bring me a group of Quran reciters, and let them be elders. So I brought him Nafi' b. al-Azraq and I brought him Mirdas Abu Bilal and a group with them, six or eight. When we entered upon Jundub, he said: I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: 'The example of one who teaches people good and forgets himself is like the example of a lamp that gives light to people and burns itself. Whoever shows off his knowledge to people, God will expose him on the Day of Resurrection, and whoever lets people hear of his deed, God will let others hear of him.'
