[12imam]

Knowing To know or knowing to boast?



Imam Muhammad al-Baqer (AS) has said:

“He who acquires knowledge to boast about it among other learned men or to
wrangle about it with the rustics or to attract the attention of the people
towards him (to gain popularity and respect) his innards will be filled with
fire. Verily, leadership is fit only for those who really deserve it.”
