Hadith 394

أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، قَالَ: "كَفَى بِالْمَرْءِ عِلْمًا أَنْ يَخْشَى اللَّهَ، وَكَفَى بِالْمَرْءِ جَهْلًا أَنْ يُعْجَبَ بِعِلْمِهِ".
Masruq (may Allah have mercy on him) said: It is sufficient knowledge for a man that he fears Allah, and it is sufficient ignorance for a man that he is arrogant about his knowledge.
