It is narrated from Sufyan 1 that Umar bin Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Ka'b: "Who are the people of knowledge?" Ka'b replied: "Those who act upon what they know." Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) then asked: "What causes knowledge to depart from the hearts of the scholars?" Ka'b answered: "Greed."
