The quote is by an Muslim Grammarian called Al-Khalil Bin Ahmed, AKA Al-Khalil Bin Ahmed Al-Farahidi. It is quoted in several books namely, Al-Ghazali’s Ihya Ulum Al Din, and Al-Daynouri’s Kitab Al-Mujalasa Wa Jawaher Al-Ilm.

Here are the references to the quotes to each book:

A quote from إحياء علوم الدين

الكتب - المجالسة وجواهر العلم للدينوري - الرجال أربعة : رجل يدري ولا يدري أنه يدري ، فذاك غافل فنبهوه ، ورجل يدري ويدري أنه يدري ، فذاك عاقل فاعرفوه ، ورجل لا يدري ويدري أنه لا يدري ، فذاك جاهل فعلموه ، ورجل لا يدري ولا يدري أنه لا يدري ، فذاك مائق فاحذروه
