Author: Ibn Muflih al-Maqdisee

Reference: Al-Adaab ash-Shar'eeyyah: P.146 - more about reference here...
Muhammad ibn Ismaa’eel narrated to us, that Ibraheem ibn al-Mundhir narrated to him, that Ma’een ibn ‘Eesaa said:
Maalik ibn Anas used to say:

Knowledge must not be taken from four types of people, and can be taken from other than them:

A foolish person whose foolishness is known, even if he narrates the most Ahaadeeth amongst people.
A liar who lies about people’s narrations if this is known about him, even if he is not accused of lying upon the Messenger - .
One who follows his desires/an innovator who calls the people to his desires/innovations.
A Shaykh who has virtue and worship if he does not know Hadeeth.
