Arabic Text
أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْلَى ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ ، عَنْ
إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عِيسَى ، قَالَ : قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ :" لَا تَعَلَّمُوا الْعِلْمَ لِثَلَاثٍ : لِتُمَارُوا بِهِ السُّفَهَاءَ، وَتُجَادِلُوا بِهِ الْعُلَمَاءَ، وَلِتَصْرِفُوا بِهِ وُجُوهَ النَّاسِ إِلَيْكُمْ، وَابْتَغُوا بِقَوْلِكُمْ مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ، فَإِنَّهُ يَدُومُ وَيَبْقَى، وَيَنْفَدُ مَا سِوَاهُ "

English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: 'Do not seek knowledge for three purposes: to argue with the foolish, to debate with scholars, or to draw people's attention to yourselves. Rather, seek through your words what is with Allah.'
