This hadith is listed as number 34 in Maktaba Shamila
وحَدَّثَنِي بِشْرُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ الْعَبْدِيُّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ سُفْيَانَ بْنَ عُيَيْنَةَ ، يَقُولُ : أَخْبَرُونِي ، عَنْ أَبِي عَقِيلٍ صَاحِبِ بُهَيَّةَ ، أَنَّ أَبْنَاءً لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، سَأَلُوهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ ، لَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَهُ فِيهِ عِلْمٌ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ يَحْيَي بْنُ سَعِيدٍ : وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُعْظِمُ أَنْ يَكُونَ مِثْلُكَ وَأَنْتَ ابْنُ إِمَامَيِ الْهُدَى يَعْنِي عُمَرَ وَابْنَ عُمَرَ ، تُسْأَلُ عَنْ أَمْرٍ لَيْسَ عِنْدَكَ فِيهِ عِلْمٌ ، فَقَالَ : أَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ، وَاللَّهِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ ، وَعِنْدَ مَنْ عَقَلَ عَنِ اللَّهِ ، أَنْ أَقُولَ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ ، أَوْ أُخْبِرَ ، عَنْ غَيْرِ ثِقَةٍ ، قَالَ : وَشَهِدَهُمَا أَبُو عَقِيلٍ يَحْيَى بْنُ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ ، حِينَ قَالَا ذَلِك
Bishr bin ul-Hakam al-Abdī narrated to me, he said, I heard Sufyān bin Uyaynah saying, they informed me on authority of Abī Aqīl, companion of Buhayyah, that a descendent of 'Abd Allah bin 'Umar was asked about something that he did not have knowledge about, so Yahyā bin Sa’īd said to him: ‘By Allah, indeed it is a grave matter that the likes of you, a descendent of two Imāms of guidance – meaning 'Umar and Ibn 'Umar – is asked about a matter and you have no knowledge of it’. So [al-Qāsim] said: ‘By Allah, more grave than that according to Allah, and to whoever reflects about Allah, is to speak without knowledge or to report on authority of one who is not trustworthy’. [Ibn Uyaynah] said that Abū Aqīl Yahyā bin al-Mutawakkil witnessed them both when they said that.
