Majma al-Zawaid 865 — One who seeks knowledge for other than Allah

وَعَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ الْعِلْمَ لِيُبَاهِيَ بِهِ الْعُلَمَاءَ ، أَوْ يُمَارِيَ بِهِ السُّفَهَاءَ - فَهُوَ فِي النَّارِ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ ، وَفِيهِ عَبْدُ الْخَالِقِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ .
Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever acquires knowledge in order to boast with it before the scholars, or to argue with the ignorant by means of it, will go to Hell."
Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; its chain contains Abd al-Khaliq bin Zayd, who is da'if (weak).
