Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32201 — Those whom reciting the Quran does

Sayyiduna Ziyad bin Labid (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned something and then said: "That will be at the time when knowledge is taken away." The narrator said: I said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), how will knowledge be taken away when we recite the Qur'an and teach it to our children, and they in turn will teach it to their children, and so the chain will continue until the Day of Resurrection?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "May your mother lose you, O Ziyad! I used to consider you the man of the most understanding in Madinah! Do these Jews and Christians not read the Torah and the Gospel, and yet they do not act upon the teachings found in them?"
