darimi:573Muḥammad b. Ḥumayd > Yaḥyá b. al-Ḍurays > Sufyān

[Machine] I heard Sufyan say, "Whoever is impatient will harm himself with a lot of knowledge, and whoever does not rush and seeks knowledge persistently until he attains it."  

الدارمي:٥٧٣أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ الضُّرَيْسِ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ سُفْيَانَ يَقُولُ «مَنْ تَرَأَّسَ سَرِيعًا أَضَرَّ بِكَثِيرٍ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَتَرَأَّسْ طَلَبَ وَطَلَبَ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ»
