Hadith 4048
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ , حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ , حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ , عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ , عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ , قَالَ : ذَكَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْئًا , فَقَالَ : " ذَاكَ عِنْدَ أَوَانِ ذَهَابِ الْعِلْمِ " , قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , وَكَيْفَ يَذْهَبُ الْعِلْمُ ؟ وَنَحْنُ نَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ , وَنُقْرِئُهُ أَبْنَاءَنَا , وَيُقْرِئُهُ أَبْنَاؤُنَا أَبْنَاءَهُمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ , قَالَ : " ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ زِيَادُ , إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَرَاكَ مِنْ أَفْقَهِ رَجُلٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ , أَوَلَيْسَ هَذِهِ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى يَقْرَءُونَ التَّوْرَاةَ , وَالْإِنْجِيلَ , لَا يَعْمَلُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِمَّا فِيهِمَا " .
´It was narrated that Ziyad bin Labid said:` “The Prophet (ﷺ) mentioned something and said: ‘That will be at the time when knowledge (of Qur’an) disappears.’ I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, how will knowledge disappear when we read the Qur’an and teach it to our children, until the Day of Resurrection?’ He said: ‘May your mother be bereft of you, Ziyad! I thought that you were the wisest man in Al- Madinah. Is it not the case that these Jews and Christians read the Tawrah and the Injil, but they do not act upon anything of what is in them?’”
