اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عِيسَى، قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ: "لَا تَعَلَّمُوا الْعِلْمَ لِثَلَاثٍ: لِتُمَارُوا بِهِ السُّفَهَاءَ، وَتُجَادِلُوا بِهِ الْعُلَمَاءَ، وَلِتَصْرِفُوا بِهِ وُجُوهَ النَّاسِ إِلَيْكُمْ، وَابْتَغُوا بِقَوْلِكُمْ مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ، فَإِنَّهُ يَدُومُ وَيَبْقَى، وَيَنْفَدُ مَا سِوَاهُ". [في إسناده محمد بن عون وهو متروك. وباقي رجاله ثقات] ¤ وَبِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ، قَالَ: "كُونُوا يَنَابِيعَ الْعِلْمِ، مَصَابِيحَ الْهُدَى، أَحْلَاسَ الْبُيُوتِ، سُرُجَ اللَّيْلِ، جُدُدَ الْقُلُوبِ، خُلْقَانَ الثِّيَابِ، تُعْرَفُونَ فِي أَهْلِ السَّمَاءِ، وَتَخْفَوْنَ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ".[إسناده ضعيف]
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Do not seek knowledge for three things: so that you may argue with the foolish, or dispute with the scholars, or turn people’s faces towards yourself (i.e., make them your followers). Seek with your words only the reward that is with Allah, which will remain forever, and whatever is besides that will perish.
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadiths 259 to 261)
In the marfu‘ hadith it is stated: «لَا تَعَلَّمُوا الْعِلْمَ لِتُبَاهُوا بِهِ الْعُلَمَاءَ، أَوْ لِتُمَارُوا بِهِ السُّفَهَاءَ، أَوْ لِتَصْرِفُوا وُجُوهَ النَّاسِ إِلَيْكُمْ، فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ فِي النَّارِ.» Meaning, “Whoever acquires knowledge in order to argue with the scholars, to dispute with the ignorant, and to attract people’s attention to himself, then he will enter Hell.”
See: [ترمذي 2654], [ابن ماجه 259-260] This narration has been declared authentic by Shaykh al-Albani in [صحيح الجامع 7247].
