From al-Malfudh Sharif, pg. 14:
Imam Ahmad Rida writes:
One must always be aware of one’s condition and not exceed the limit of one’s understanding. One must not be proud when praised and accept one’s faults when corrected. Therefore, the Ulama commented on Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 729/1328):
His knowledge was bigger than his brain.[1]
Sound knowledge is that in which there is a profound understanding and interpretation of Fiqah.

[1] This is a comment of Imam Ahmad ibn Hajar Makki (d. 853/1448) which is recorded in Fatawa Hadithiyya.
