Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ سُئِلَ عَنْ عِلْمٍ فَكَتَمَهُ أَلْجَمَهُ اللَّهُ بِلِجَامٍ مِنْ نَارٍ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " .
Translation
Musa ibn Ismail told us: Hammad told us: Ali ibn al-Hakam informed us, from Ata, from Abu Hurairah, who said: The Messenger of Allah said, “Whoever is asked about knowledge and conceals it, Allah will bridle him with a bridle of fire on the Day of Resurrection.”
