Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ أَخْزَمَ، وَأَبُو بَدْرٍ عَبَّادُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ الْهُنَائِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ الْهُنَائِيُّ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ السَّخْتِيَانِيِّ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ دُرَيْكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ طَلَبَ الْعِلْمَ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ أَوْ أَرَادَ بِهِ غَيْرَ اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Zayd ibn Akhzam and Abū Badr ʿAbbād ibn al-Walīd said: Muḥammad ibn ʿAbbād al-Hunāʾī narrated to us: ʿAlī ibn al-Mubārak al-Hunāʾī narrated to us, from Ayyūb al-Sakhtiyānī, from Khālid ibn Durayk, from Ibn ʿUmar, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Whoever seeks knowledge for other than God, or intends by it something other than God, let him take his place in the Fire.”
