"رُبَّ حامِل فِقْهٍ غَيْر فَقِيه، ومن لَمْ ينْفَعْه عِلْمه ضرَّهُ جهْلُهُ، اقْرأ الْقُرْانَ، ما نَهاكَ، فَإِنْ لَمْ ينْهكَ فَلَسْتَ تَقْرؤُهُ".

[Machine] "Read the Quran as much as it prohibits you. If it doesn't prohibit you, then you are not truly reading it. Many who carry knowledge are not experts, and someone whose knowledge doesn't benefit them, their ignorance harms them."  

الزهد لأحمد:١٦٤٤ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ حَدَّثَنَا حَمْزَةُ الزَّيَّاتُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ السُّلَمِيِّ قَالَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ

«اقْرَأِ الْقُرْآنَ مَا نَهَاكَ فَإِذَا لَمْ يَنْهَكَ فَلَسْتَ تَقْرَؤُهُ رُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ غَيْرُ فَقِيهٍ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَنْفَعْهُ عِلْمُهُ ضَرَّهُ جَهْلُهُ»
