Hadith 261

One who is asked about knowledge but conceals it

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "There is no man who memorizes knowledge then conceals it, but he will be brought forth on the Day of Resurrection bridled with reins of fire." (Hasan) Another chain with similar wording.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عِمَارَةُ بْنُ زَاذَانَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ حَدَّثَنَا عَطَاءٌ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَحْفَظُ عِلْمًا فَيَكْتُمُهُ إِلاَّ أُتِيَ بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مُلْجَمًا بِلِجَامٍ مِنَ النَّارِ قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ أَىِ الْقَطَّانُ وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَاتِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا عِمَارَةُ بْنُ زَاذَانَ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ

Hadith 262
Sahih — Darussalam

One who is asked about knowledge but conceals it

It was narrated that 'Abdur-Rahman bin Hurmuz Al-A'raj heard Abu Hurairah say: "By Allah, were it not for two Verses in the Book of Allah, I would never have narrated anything from him, meaning from the Prophet, were it not for the Words of Allah: Verily, those who conceal what Allah has sent down of the Book, and purchase a small gain therewith (of worldly things), they eat into their bellies nothing but fire. Allah will not speak to them on the Day of Resurrection, nor purify them, and theirs will be a painful torment. Those are they who have purchased error at the price of guidance, and torment at the price of forgiveness. So how bold they are (for evil deeds which will push them) to the Fire.'"

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَرْوَانَ الْعُثْمَانِيُّ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ الأَعْرَجِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ وَاللَّهِ لَوْلاَ آيَتَانِ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى مَا حَدَّثْتُ عَنْهُ يَعْنِي عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ شَيْئًا أَبَدًا لَوْلاَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ [ 2 174 174]إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَكْتُمُونَ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَتَيْنِ

Hadith 263

One who is asked about knowledge but conceals it

It was narrated that Jabir said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'When the last people of this Ummah curse the first, (at that time) whoever conceals a Hadith will be concealing what Allah has revealed.'" (Maudu')

حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ أَبِي السَّرِيِّ الْعَسْقَلاَنِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ تَمِيمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ السَّرِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ إِذَا لَعَنَ آخِرُ هَذِهِ الأُمَّةِ أَوَّلَهَا فَمَنْ كَتَمَ حَدِيثًا فَقَدْ كَتَمَ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ
