Sunan ad-Darimi 418 — Equality in Knowledge
أَخْبَرَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: "كُنَّا نَكْرَهُ كِتَابَةَ الْعِلْمِ حَتَّى أَكْرَهَنَا عَلَيْهِ السُّلْطَانُ فَكَرِهْنَا أَنْ نَمْنَعَهُ أَحَدًا".
Imam Zuhri, may Allah have mercy on him, said: We used to dislike writing down knowledge, but the ruler compelled us to do so, and now we dislike preventing anyone from writing down knowledge.
