Sunan Ibn Majah 254
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، أَنْبَأَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " لاَ تَعَلَّمُوا الْعِلْمَ لِتُبَاهُوا بِهِ الْعُلَمَاءَ وَلاَ لِتُمَارُوا بِهِ السُّفَهَاءَ وَلاَ تَخَيَّرُوا بِهِ الْمَجَالِسَ فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَالنَّارُ النَّارُ " .

Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā narrated to us: Ibn Abī Maryam informed us: Yaḥyā ibn Ayyūb informed us, from Ibn Jurayj, from Abū al-Zubayr, from Jābir ibn ʿAbd Allāh, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Do not seek knowledge in order to vie with the scholars or dispute with the foolish, and do not seek the best places in gatherings by means of it. Whoever does so, the Fire, the Fire!”
