فرقة منهم لما أحكمت العلوم الشرعية والعقلية تعمقوا فيها واشتغلوا بها وأهملوا تفقد الجوارح وحفظها عن المعاصى، وإلزامها الطاعات فاغتروا بعلمهم وظنوا أنهم عند الله بمكان.. وأنهم قد بلغوا من العلم مبلغا لا يعذب الله تعالى مثلهم، بل يقبل عليهم ويقبل فى الخلق شفاعتهم، ولا يطالبهم بذنوبهم، وخطاياهم وهو مغرورون فإنهم لو نظروا بعين البصيرة علموا أن العلم علمان علم معاملة.
