According to Shaykh Aboo Zayd,
“There is a hadeeth narrated by Asmaa’ that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “He who fills himself with that which he is not given is as one who wears two garbs of falsehood”
[al-bukharee, Muslim, Aboo Dawood, an-Nasaee in his grand sunan and the Prophet (saw) in this hadeeth is making a similarity between this type of person who shows off qualities that he/she does not possess with the one who gives false testimony because, in effect, both of them give false testimony] (The Etiquette of Seeking Knowledge, pg. 28)
He further quotes
“and in the judicial book of the inspired speaker , the Commander of the Believers, Umar ibn al-Khattab said ‘…and whoever adorns himself with other than that which he possesses then Allah will disfigure him’ ” (pg. 29)

Quran 3:103:
And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided. And remember the favor of Allah upon you – when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers. And you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses that you may be guided.
