Imaam adh-Dhahabee mentioned in Siyar A'laamin-Nubalaa, Al-Humaydee said, "I heard Sufyaan bin 'Uyainah say, "These mihbaraat (wooden ink-pots that students used to carry along with their pens ) do not enter anyone's house except that they cause grief to his wife and children." Sufyaan once asked a man, "In what do you occupy yourself with? He said, "In seeking hadeeth." So Sufyaan bin 'Uyainah replied, "Then give glad tidings to your family of poverty."
