"عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْداءِ قَالَ: كفَي بِكَ ظَالِمًا أَنْ لا تَزَالَ مُخَاصِمًا، وَكَفَي بِكَ آثِمًا أَنْ لَا تَزَالَ مُخَالِفًا وَكَفَي بِكَ كَاذِبًا أَنَ لَا تَزَالَ محدثًا فيِ غَيْرِ ذَاتِ الله - ﷻ-".

[Machine] "Do not consider yourself knowledgeable until you become a learner, and do not consider yourself knowledgeable in a subject until you apply it. It is enough sin for you to continue being argumentative. It is enough sin for you to continue being lazy. It is enough sin for you to continue being a liar by speaking about matters other than Allah Almighty."

الدارمي:٣٠١ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْثَرٌ عَنْ بُرْدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُوسَى الدِّمَشْقِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ

«لَا تَكُونُ عَالِمًا حَتَّى تَكُونَ مُتَعَلِّمًا وَلَا تَكُونُ بِالْعِلْمِ عَالِمًا حَتَّى تَكُونَ بِهِ عَامِلًا وَكَفَى بِكَ إِثْمًا أَنْ لَا تَزَالَ مُخَاصِمًا وَكَفَى بِكَ إِثْمًا أَنْ لَا تَزَالَ مُمَارِيًا وَكَفَى بِكَ كَاذِبًا أَنْ لَا تَزَالَ مُحَدِّثًا فِي غَيْرِ ذَاتِ اللَّهِ ﷻ»
