Sahih Ibn Hibban 6722 — Book of History
أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي السَّرِيِّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لا يَزَالُونَ يُسْتَفْتُونَ حَتَّى يَقُولَ أَحَدُهُمْ : هَذَا اللَّهُ خَلَقَ الْخَلْقَ ، فَمَنْ خَلَقَ اللَّهَ " .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him): "Indeed, Allah will not take away knowledge by snatching it from the people, while He has granted them knowledge. Rather, He will take away knowledge by taking the souls of the scholars, until when no scholar remains, people will take the ignorant as leaders. They will ask them questions, and they will give answers without knowledge. They will misguide others and will themselves be misguided."
