أَخْبَرَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سُفْيَانَ، يَقُولُ: "مَا ازْدَادَ عَبْدٌ عِلْمًا، فَازْدَادَ فِي الدُّنْيَا رَغْبَةً، إِلَّا ازْدَادَ مِنْ اللَّهِ بُعْدًا".
Bishr bin Hakam reported that I heard Sufyan, may Allah have mercy on him, say: Whoever increases his desire for the world along with an increase in knowledge, he only increases in distance from Allah Almighty.
