Imam al Thahabee Rahimahullah mentioned on the authority of Abu ‘Umraan who said that Hiram bin Hayaan Rahimahullah said: Beware of the sinful scholar. When this statement reached ‘Umar ibn al Khattaab (radhiallahu anhu) he wrote to Hiram inquiring about it. Hiram replied: I only intended good ‘oh Leader of the believers! If the scholar speaks with knowledge and then acts with sin, this will confuse the people and they will be led astray. #Source:- Tareekh al Islam (5/534)
