حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ شِنْظِيرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " طَلَبُ الْعِلْمِ فَرِيضَةٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ وَوَاضِعُ الْعِلْمِ عِنْدَ غَيْرِ أَهْلِهِ كَمُقَلِّدِ الْخَنَازِيرِ الْجَوْهَرَ وَاللُّؤْلُؤَ وَالذَّهَبَ " .

Hishām ibn ʿAmmār narrated to us: Ḥafṣ ibn Sulaymān narrated to us: Kathīr ibn Shinẓīr narrated to us, from Muḥammad ibn Sīrīn, from Anas ibn Mālik, who said: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim. Whoever places knowledge with those unworthy of it is like one who puts jewels, pearls, and gold collars on pigs.”
