باب التَّوْبِيخِ لِمَنْ يَطْلُبُ الْعِلْمَ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ:Chapter: Rebuke for Seeking Knowledge for Other Than Allah
Hadith 383
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، قَالَ: زَعَمَ لِي سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: "كَانَ الرَّجُلُ لَا يَطْلُبُ الْعِلْمَ حَتَّى يَتَعَبَّدَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً".
Abu Asim said that Sufyan, expressing his opinion, stated: A man used to worship for forty years first, then he would set out in search and pursuit of knowledge.
