حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَالْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ النَّصْرِيِّ عَنْ نَهْشَلٍ عَنْ الضَّحَّاکِ عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْعِلْمِ صَانُوا الْعِلْمَ وَوَضَعُوهُ عِنْدَ أَهْلِهِ لَسَادُوا بِهِ أَهْلَ زَمَانِهِمْ وَلَکِنَّهُمْ بَذَلُوهُ لِأَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا لِيَنَالُوا بِهِ مِنْ دُنْيَاهُمْ فَهَانُوا عَلَيْهِمْ سَمِعْتُ نَبِيَّکُمْ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ جَعَلَ الْهُمُومَ هَمًّا وَاحِدًا هَمَّ آخِرَتِهِ کَفَاهُ اللَّهُ هَمَّ دُنْيَاهُ وَمَنْ تَشَعَّبَتْ بِهِ الْهُمُومُ فِي أَحْوَالِ الدُّنْيَا لَمْ يُبَالِ اللَّهُ فِي أَيِّ أَوْدِيَتِهَا هَلَکَ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 257
It was narrated that Abdullah bin Mas’ud said: “If the people of knowledge had taken care of it and presented it only to those who cared for it, they ould have become the leaders of .eir age by virtue of that. But the squandered it on the people of wealth and status in this world order to gain some worldly nefit, so the people of wealth d status began to look down on em. I heard your Prophet p.b.u.h Whoever focuses all his concerns on one issue, the concerns of the Hereafter, Allah suffice him and spare him the of this world. But uever wanders off in concern ar different worldly issues, Allah will not care in which of these valleys he is destroyed.”(Da’if) Another chain with similar wording.
