Al-Kāfi / Chapter on Giving Knowledge as Charity 3

Do not speak the words of wisdom to the ignorant people because you will be doing injustice to them (words of wisdom).

Hawzah News Agency - Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa ibn ‘Ubayd from Yunus ibn ’Abd al-Rahman from the person who he mentioned from abu ‘Abdallah (a.s) who has said the following.

قَامَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ (a.s) خَطِيباً فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَقَالَ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لا تُحَدِّثُوا الْجُهَّالَ بِالْحِكْمَةِ فَتَظْلِمُوهَا وَلا تَمْنَعُوهَا أَهْلَهَا فَتَظْلِمُوهُمْ.

“Jesus, son of Mary (a.s) once stood up to speak to the Israelites saying, ‘O Israelites, do not speak the words of wisdom to the ignorant people because you will be doing injustice to them (words of wisdom). Do not keep them (words of wisdom) from those who deserve lest you will do injustice to them (deserving people).’”

Al-Kāfi, v.1, Book 2, Chapter 10
