Abdul-Azeea bin 'Alee Al-Azjee informed me: ...........
I came to Sufyaan bin Uyainah,so he said to me " Indeed it is only ignorance that has brought you here, not your desires for seeking knowledge. If your neighbors would limit themselves to just your knowledge, it would be sufficient for them. Then he gathered a pile of dirt and divided it in half with his finger, and said:"This is knowledge you have acquired half of it , now you are seeking after the other half. So if it were to be said to you: Have you used what you have acquired? If you answer were truthful and responded: NO, it would be said to you: What then is your need for that which will increase you in Burden upon Burden?! Use what you have acquired first"
