أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَرِيزٌ ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ ، قَالَ : كَانَ يُقَالُ :" تَعَلَّمُوا الْعِلْمَ وَانْتَفِعُوا بِهِ، وَلَا تَعَلَّمُوهُ لِتَتَجَمَّلُوا بِهِ، فَإِنَّهُ يُوشِكُ إِنْ طَالَ بِكُمْ عُمُرٌ، أَنْ يَتَجَمَّلَ ذُو الْعِلْمِ بِعِلْمِهِ، كَمَا يَتَجَمَّلُ ذُو الْبِزَّةِ بِبِزَّتِهِ "

Ubaid Allah bin Abdul Majeed told us, Hariz told us, on the authority of Habib bin Ubaid, he said: It was said: “Learn knowledge and benefit from it, but do not Learn it so that you can beautify yourself with it, for it is about time that, if you live a long life, a person with knowledge will adorn himself with his knowledge, just as a person with uniforms adorns himself with his uniform.”
