Knowledge is of three types

What is the authenticity of this narration?

‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (radiyallahu ‘anhu) says: “Knowledge is of three types; the clear book [Quran], an established Sunnah, and saying ‘I do not know’.”

Answer:

Imams Tabarani, Ibn Abdil Barr (rahimahumallah) and others have recorded this statement of Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (radiyallahu ‘anhuma).

(Al Mu’jamul Awsat, Hadith: 1005, Jami’u Bayanil ‘Ilmi Wa Fadlih, Hadith: 1387)

Hafiz Ibn Hajar (rahimahullah) has declared one chain sound (hasan).

(Refer: Faydul Qadir, Hadith: 5710. Also see: Majma’uz Zawaid, vol. 1 pg. 172)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
