Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 38096 — Reports from Abd al-Ala

Abd al-A'la al-Taymi said: Whoever is given knowledge that does not move him to weep deserves to have it said of him that he has not been given beneficial knowledge. For Allah Almighty has praised the scholars. Then he recited this verse: "Indeed, those who were given knowledge before it, when it is recited to them, fall upon their chins in prostration, and say: Glory be to our Lord! Indeed, the promise of our Lord is bound to be fulfilled. And they fall upon their chins weeping."
