Al-Kāfi / Chapter on the Qualities of the Scholars 2

One whose actions do not align with their words is not knowledgeable.

Hawzah News Agency - Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus from Hammad ibn ‘Uthman from al-Harith ibn Mughirah al-Nasri that Abu ‘Abdallah (al-Sadiq) (a.s) about the words of Allah (swt), 'Only God’s knowledgeable servants fear Him' (35:28), he (a.s) said:

يَعْنِي بِالْعُلَمَاءِ مَنْ صَدَّقَ فِعْلُهُ قَوْلَهُ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُصَدِّقْ فِعْلُهُ قَوْلَهُ فَلَيْسَ بِعَالِمٍ.

"The meaning of the knowledgable ones (al-'Ulama) are those whose actions testify to the truthfulness of their words and whosever actions are not truthful to their words, then he is not a knowledgable one."

Al-Kāfi, v.1, Book 2, Chapter 5
