Mustadrak al-Hakim 293
Ibn Abū Ūways > Akhī > Sulaymān b. Bilāl > Isḥāq b. Yaḥyá b. Ṭalḥah > ʿAbdullāh b. Kaʿb b. Mālik from his father
From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: "Whoever seeks knowledge to show off to scholars or to compete with fools or to gain praise from people, then they are destined for hell." "The two sheikhs did not produce anything to Ishaaq bin Yahya, I only made him a witness for what I have fulfilled from their condition, and Ishaaq bin Yahya is from the noble descendants of Quraysh." They did not send out for Ishaaq, but I only made him a witness.
فَحَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْفَقِيهُ أَنْبَأَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زِيَادٍ ثنا ابْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَخِي عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلَالٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ طَلْحَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنِ ابْتَغَى الْعِلْمَ لِيُبَاهِيَ بِهِ الْعُلَمَاءَ أَوْ يُمَارِيَ بِهِ السُّفَهَاءَ أَوْ يَقْبَلَ إِفَادَةَ النَّاسِ إِلَيْهِ فَإِلَى النَّارِ» «لَمْ يُخَرِّجِ الشَّيْخَانِ لِإِسْحَاقَ بْنِ يَحْيَى شَيْئًا وَإِنَّمَا جَعَلْتَهُ شَاهِدًا لِمَا قَدَّمْتُ مِنْ شَرْطِهِمَا وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يَحْيَى مِنْ أَشْرَافِ قُرَيْشٍ» لم يخرجا لإسحاق وإنما خرجته شاهدا
