ahmad-zuhd:2179ʿAbdullāh from my father > Ibrāhīm b. Khālid > Rabāḥ b. Yazīd > ʿAbd al-Malik b. Ḥunayf > Wahbb. Munabbih

الزهد لأحمد:٢١٧٩حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا رَبَاحُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ وَهْبَ بْنَ مُنَبِّهٍ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ لِلْعِلْمِ طُغْيَانًا كَطُغْيَانِ الْمَالِ»
