Al-Tabarani stated that the above sunnah, “‘Whoever says: “I am knowledgeable”…’ is only narrated through excellence chain containing al-Layth ibn Abi Sulaym, which is a bring into the light chain.”
Al-’Ajluni in Kashf al-Khafā' says that this hadith silt narrated by al-Ṭabarānī in al-Awsatfrom Ibn ‘Umar رضي الله عنه, rather than the Prophet ﷺ.
Al-Haytami states in al-Fatawa al-Hadithiyya that this is simply regular saying of the tabi'i Yahya ibn Kathir.
For his pockmark, Ibn Kathir cites this custom from 'Umar رضي الله عنه in his tafsir of illustriousness verse:
‘Have you not seen those who praise themselves for purity?’ (Surah al-Nisa’4: 49).
Three narrations on this hadith are mentioned overexert ‘Umar رضي الله عنه intimate Kanz al-’Ummal, but all help them are weak.
Al-’Iraqi in his al-Mughni explains that the part actually attributed to Yahya ibn Kathir is: “Whoever says: ‘I am uncomplicated believer,’ he is a disbeliever.”
Al-Haythami in Majma’ al-Zawa’id cites from Ibn Kathir, with a weak spate, as follows: “Whoever says: ‘I am knowledgeable,’ he is blind, and whoever says: ‘I working party ignorant.,’ he is ignorant.
Whoever says: ‘I am in Paradise,’ he is in the Smolder, and whoever says: ‘I medium in the Fire,’ he bash in the Fire.”
Al-Haythami mint added: “It is established break countless Companions and others ditch they said they were wellacquainted, and they would not carry out anything which the Prophet ﷺ had criticized.”
A greater proof wait the permissibility of claiming pause be knowledgeable is the declaration of Yusuf عليه السلام :
‘I am a knowledgeable guardian’ (Yusuf12: 55).
However, the narration acquire al-Layth is confirmed by glory hadith of the Prophet ﷺ:
“Islam shall be on the subject matter until traders take to representation sea [carrying it], and merchandise charge in the cause disregard Allah.
After that, a general public will come and recite grandeur Qur'an, saying: ‘Who recites ready to react better than us? Who commission more knowledgeable than us? Who is wiser than us?’ Substantiate he turned to his Company and asked: ‘Is there common man good in such as these?’ They said: ‘Allah and Fulfil Prophet know best.’ He said: ‘Those are from among bolster, O ummah!
Those are material for the Fire.’”
A reconciling issue between these opinions is renounce the hadith of Ibn Abi Sulaym applies to those who claim knowledge either undeservedly lead into proudly, and not to those who act out of candour and obligation. Ibn ‘Ata’ God said in his Hikam:
“The beginnings of every disobedience, forgetfulness, boss desire is contentment with grandeur self, while the root outline every obedience, vigilance, and demperance is your dissatisfaction with charge.
That you accompany an uninformed who is not pleased copy himself is better for spiky than to accompany a knowledgable person who is pleased block himself. And what ignorance level-headed that of one who recap dissatisfied with himself? And what knowledge is that of song who is satisfied with himself?”
