darimi:310Saʿīd b. ʿĀmir > Ismāʿīl b. Ibrāhīm > Yūnus

[Machine] Maymun ibn Mihran wrote to me, "Beware of disputes and arguing about religion, and do not argue with a knowledgeable person or an ignorant person. As for the knowledgeable person, he will withhold his knowledge from you and not care about your actions. And as for the ignorant person, he will intimidate you and not obey you."  

الدارمي:٣١٠أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ يُونُسَ قَالَ

كَتَبَ إِلَيَّ مَيْمُونُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ إِيَّاكَ وَالْخُصُومَةَ وَالْجِدَالَ فِي الدِّينِ وَلَا تُجَادِلَنَّ عَالِمًا وَلَا جَاهِلًا أَمَّا الْعَالِمُ فَإِنَّهُ يَخْزُنُ عَنْكَ عِلْمَهُ وَلَا يُبَالِي مَا صَنَعْتَ وَأَمَّا الْجَاهِلُ فَإِنَّهُ يُخَشِّنُ بِصَدْرِكَ وَلَا يُطِيعُكَ
