Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 7836 — At the Farewell Hajj, the Prophet ﷺ stood

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، ثنا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ، ثنا مُعَانُ بْنُ رِفَاعَةَ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَنِي الْقَاسِمُ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ: لَمَّا كَانَ حَجَّةُ الْوَدَاعِ، قَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُرْدِفٌ الْفَضْلَ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ وَهُوَ عَلَى جَمَلٍ، فَقَالَ: «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، خُذُوا مِنَ الْعِلْمِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُقْبَضَ الْعِلْمُ، وَقَبْلَ أَنْ يُرْفَعَ الْعِلْمُ» . وَقَدْ كَانَ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمِنٌوا لَا تَسْأَلُوا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ إِنْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْ} [المائدة: ١٠١] الْآيَةَ، فَكُنَّا نَذْكُرُهَا كَثِيرًا، فَتَمْنَعُنَا مِنْ مَسْأَلَتِهِ. فَأَتَيْنَا أَعْرَابِيًّا فَرَشَوْنَاهُ بُرْدًا، فَأَعْتَمَ بِهِ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ حَاشِيَةَ الْبُرْدِ عَلَى حَاجِبِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ، ثُمَّ قُلْنَا: سَلِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ كَيْفَ يُرْفَعُ الْعِلْمُ مِنَّا، وَبَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا الْمَصَاحِفُ قَدْ تَعَلَّمْنَا فِيهَا، وَعَلَّمْنَاهَا نِسَاءَنَا وَذَرَارِيَّنَا وَخَدَمَنَا، فَرَفَعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأْسَهُ، وَقَدْ عَلَتْ وَجْهَهُ حُمْرَةٌ مِنَ الْغَضَبِ، فَقَالَ: «أَيْ ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ، وَهَذِهِ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِهِمِ الْمَصَاحِفُ، لَمْ يُصْبِحُوا يَتَعَلَّقُوا بِالْحَرْفِ مِمَّا جَاءَتْهُمْ بِهِ أَنْبِيَاؤُهُمْ، أَلَا وَإِنَّ مِنْ ذَهَابِ الْعِلْمِ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ أَهْلُهُ» ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ
Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: At the Farewell Hajj, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up, and at that time Sayyiduna al-Fadl bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) was riding behind him (peace and blessings be upon him) on a camel, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O people, take knowledge before knowledge is taken away, and before knowledge is raised up." And Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, had revealed: "O you who believe, do not ask about things which, if made plain to you, would distress you" [Surah al-Ma'idah: 101], and we used to remember it often, and it kept us from asking him (peace and blessings be upon him). So we went to a bedouin and bribed him with a cloak, and he wore it until I saw the edge of the cloak over his right eyebrow. Then we said to him: Ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). So he said: O Prophet of Allah, how will knowledge be taken away from us when copies of the Qur'an are among us, we have learned from them, and we have taught them to our women, our children and our servants? Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head, and redness from anger had come over his face (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: "May your mother be bereaved of you! These Jews and Christians too have scriptures among them, yet they have not acted upon anything that their prophets brought them. Listen! The departure of knowledge means that its people depart," saying it three times.
