Sahih Muslim #6631'Abdullah b. 'Amr b. al-'As reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:Sahih

Verily, Allah does not take away knowledge by snatching it from the people but He takes away knowledge by taking away the scholars, so that when He leaves no learned person, people turn to the ignorant as their leaders; then they are asked to deliver religious verdicts and they deliver them without knowledge, they go astray, and lead others astray.

Sunan Ibn Majah #4339It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:Sahih

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Whoever seeks knowledge in order to argue with the foolish, or to show off before the scholars, or to attract people's attention, Allah will admit him to Hell.'"

Sunan Ibn Majah #4332It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that:Hasan

The Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever seeks knowledge in order to argue with the foolish, or to show off before the scholars, or to attract people's attention, will be in Hell."

Jami` at-Tirmidhi #2724Narrated Ibn Ka'b bin Malik:Da'if

from his father that he heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying: "Whoever seeks knowledge to contend with the scholars, or to use it to argue with the fools, and to have people's faces turn towards him, then he shall be admitted to the Fire."
