The answer

The , "Whoever says 'I am a scholar' is ignorant," was narrated by Al-Tabarani in Al-Awsat from Ibn Umar with a weak chain of transmission, which includes Layth bin Abi Sulaym, who is weak. Al-Albani also deemed it weak. It was also narrated by Al-Daylami in Musnad Jabir with a very weak chain. Al-Tabarani also narrated it in Al-Saghir as a statement paused on Yahya bin Abi Kathir, with a chain that includes Muhammad bin Abi Atta Al-Thaqafi, who was deemed weak by Ahmad. It was also narrated by Al-Harith bin Abi Usama as a saying of Umar ibn Al-Khattab with a disconnected chain.
