darimi:375Muḥammad b. Yūsuf > Sufyān

[Machine] It is said that there are three types of scholars: a scholar who fears Allah but is not well-versed in His commands, a scholar who fears Allah and is knowledgeable about His commands, and that is the perfect scholar, and a scholar who is knowledgeable about His commands but does not fear Allah, and that is the corrupt scholar.
