2033 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father narrated to me; ʿAbd al-Rahman narrated to us. Sufyan reported, from al-Aʿmash, from ʿAbd Allah ibn Murrah, from Masruq, who said:
“It is enough for a man, in terms of knowledge, that he fears Allah—Exalted is He; and it is enough for a man, in terms of ignorance, that he is impressed with his own knowledge.”
٢٠٣٣ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ: «بِحَسْبِ الرَّجُلِ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ أَنْ يَخْشَى اللَّهَ – Exalté soit-Il – وبِحَسْبِ الرَّجُلِ مِنَ الْجَهْلِ أَنْ يُعْجَبَ بِعِلْمِهِ»
