Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 988 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Surely Allah
وَبِهِ : نَا زُهَيْرٌ ، وَمَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ .
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَنْتَزِعُ الْعِلْمَ مِنَ النَّاسِ انْتِزَاعًا يَنْتَزِعُهُ مِنْهُمْ ، وَلَكِنْ يَقْبِضُ الْعِلْمَ بِقَبْضِ الْعُلَمَاءِ ، حَتَّى إِذَا لَمْ يُبْقِ عَالِمًا ، اتَّخَذَ النَّاسُ رُءُوسًا جُهَّالًا ، فَسُئِلُوا فَأَفْتَوْا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ ، فَضَلُّوا وَأَضَلُّوا .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Surely Allah will not take away knowledge from the people by suddenly snatching it out of them (their hearts); rather, He will take away knowledge through the death of the scholars, until, when He leaves no scholar remaining, the people will take ignorant people as their leaders and guides. Then they will be asked (about religious matters) and will give rulings (fatwas) without knowledge; thus they will go astray themselves and lead others astray."
