Imam Kazim (a.s) narrated that once when the Prophet of God (a.s) entered the mosque he saw that some people had gathered around a man. He asked the reason. They said that he was a scientist. He asked what he is knowledgeable of. They said that he is most knowledgeable about the Arab tribes, their history, the era of Ignorance and Arab poetry. The Prophet (a.s) said
“This knowledge is neither of any use to one who honors it, nor of any harm to one who does not.”
عن الكاظم (عليه السلام) قال
دخل رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) المسجد فإذا جماعة قد أطافوا برجل، فقال: ما هذا؟ قالوا: علامة، قال: وما العلامة؟ قالوا: أعلم الناس بأنساب العرب ووقائعها وأيام الجاهلية وبالأشعار العربية، فقال النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله): ذاك علم لا يضر من جهله ولا ينفع من علمه.
