اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ , حَدَّثَنَا مُعَانُ بْنُ رِفَاعَةَ , حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ يَزِيدَ , حَدَّثَنِي الْقَاسِمُ مَوْلَى بَنِي يَزِيدَ , عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيِّ , قَالَ : لَمَّا كَانَ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُرْدِفٌ الْفَضْلَ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ عَلَى جَمَلٍ آدَمَ , فَقَالَ : " يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ خُذُوا مِنَ الْعِلْمِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُقْبَضَ الْعِلْمُ , وَقَبْلَ أَنْ يُرْفَعَ الْعِلْمُ " وَقَدْ كَانَ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَسْأَلُوا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ إِنْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْ وَإِنْ تَسْأَلُوا عَنْهَا حِينَ يُنَزَّلُ الْقُرْآنُ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ عَفَا اللَّهُ عَنْهَا وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ حَلِيمٌ سورة المائدة آية 101 , قَالَ : فَكُنَّا قَدْ كَرِهْنَا كَثِيرًا مِنْ مَسْأَلَتِهِ , وَاتَّقَيْنَا ذَاكَ حِينَ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَى نَبِيِّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : فَأَتَيْنَا أَعْرَابِيًّا فَرَشَوْنَاهُ بِرِدَاءٍ , قَالَ : فَاعْتَمَّ بِهِ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ حَاشِيَةَ الْبُرْدِ خَارِجَةً مِنْ حَاجِبِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ , قَالَ : ثُمَّ قُلْنَا لَهُ : سَلْ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : فَقَالَ لَهُ : يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ , كَيْفَ يُرْفَعُ الْعِلْمُ مِنَّا وَبَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا الْمَصَاحِفُ , وَقَدْ تَعَلَّمْنَا مَا فِيهَا , وَعَلَّمْنَا نِسَاءَنَا , وَذَرَارِيَّنَا , وَخَدَمَنَا ؟ قَالَ : فَرَفَعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأْسَهُ وَقَدْ عَلَتْ وَجْهَهُ حُمْرَةٌ مِنَ الْغَضَبِ , قَالَ : فَقَالَ : " أَيْ ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ ! وهَذِهِ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِهِمْ الْمَصَاحِفُ , لَمْ يُصْبِحُوا يَتَعَلَّقُوا بِحَرْفٍ مِمَّا جَاءَتْهُمْ بِهِ أَنْبِيَاؤُهُمْ , أَلَا وَإِنَّ مِنْ ذَهَابِ الْعِلْمِ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ حَمَلَتُهُ " ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood on a wheat-colored camel to deliver a sermon. On that day, Hazrat Fadl bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) was riding behind the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He said, "O people! Acquire knowledge before knowledge is taken away, and before knowledge is seized." And Allah Almighty revealed this command: "O you who believe! Do not ask about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble..." After the revelation of this verse, we did not consider it good to ask too many questions from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and we were cautious about it. One day, we went to a Bedouin. He spread his sheet for us and sat for a long time, so much so that I saw the edge of the sheet hanging over his right eyebrow. After a while, we said to him, "Ask the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) a question." So he said, "O Messenger of Allah! When the copies of the Qur'an will be among us, how will knowledge be taken away from us, while we ourselves have learned its commands and have taught them to our wives, children, and servants?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his blessed head, and due to anger, redness appeared on his blessed face. Then he said, "May your mother weep for you! The Jews and Christians also have the scriptures with them, but now they do not adhere to a single letter of what their prophets (peace be upon them) brought. Remember! The meaning of knowledge being taken away is that the bearers of knowledge will be taken away." He said this three times.
