حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ أَنْبَأَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ الْأَسَدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيُّ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ الْعِلْمَ لِيُبَاهِيَ بِهِ الْعُلَمَائَ وَيُجَارِيَ بِهِ السُّفَهَائَ وَيَصْرِفَ بِهِ وُجُوهَ النَّاسِ إِلَيْهِ أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ جَهَنَّمَ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 260
It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Whoever seeks knowledge in order to argue with the foolish, or to show off before the scholars, or to attract people’s attention, Allah will admit him to Hell.” (Da’if)
