حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، أَنْبَأَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَعَلَّمُوا الْعِلْمَ لِتُبَاهُوا بِهِ الْعُلَمَاءَ وَلاَ لِتُمَارُوا بِهِ السُّفَهَاءَ وَلاَ تَخَيَّرُوا بِهِ الْمَجَالِسَ فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَالنَّارُ النَّارُ ‏"‏ .

Narrator: Jabir bin 'Abdullah

English translation
It was narrated from Jabir bin 'Abdullah that: The Prophet said: "Do not seek knowledge in order to show off in front of the scholars, or to argue with the foolish, and do not choose the best seat in a gathering, due to it (i.e. the knowledge which you have learned) for whoever does that, the Fire, the Fire (awaits him)
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। জাবির ইবনু আবদুল্লাহ (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেনঃ তোমরা আলিমদের উপর বাহাদুরী প্রকাশের জন্য, নির্বোধদের সাথে ঝগড়া করার জন্য এবং জনসভার উপর বড়ত্ব প্রকাশ করার জন্য ধর্মীয় জ্ঞান শিক্ষা করো না। যে ব্যাক্তি এরূপ করবে, তার জন্য রয়েছে আগুন আর আগুন।
