حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ حِبَّانَ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ دَابٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏ "‏ مَنْ كَتَمَ عِلْمًا مِمَّا يَنْفَعُ اللَّهُ بِهِ فِي أَمْرِ النَّاسِ فِي الدِّينِ أَلْجَمَهُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِلِجَامٍ مِنَ النَّارِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Ismāʿīl ibn Ḥibbān ibn Wāqid al-Thaqafī Abū Isḥāq al-Wāsiṭī narrated to us: ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿĀṣim narrated to us: Muḥammad ibn Dāb narrated to us, from Ṣafwān ibn Sulaym, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Saʿīd al-Khudrī, from Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī, who said: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Whoever conceals knowledge through which God benefits people in their religious affairs, God will bridle him with a bridle of fire on the Day of Resurrection.”
