باب في ذَهَابِ الْعِلْمِ:Chapter: The Disappearance of Knowledge
Hadith 245
أَخْبَرَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، أَخْبَرنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَقْبِضُ الْعِلْمَ انْتِزَاعًا يَنْتَزِعُهُ مِنْ النَّاسِ، وَلَكِنْ: قَبْضُ الْعِلْمِ قَبْضُ الْعُلَمَاءِ، فَإِذَا لَمْ يُبْقِ عَالِمًا، اتَّخَذَ النَّاسُ رُؤَسَاءً جُهَّالًا، فَسُئِلُوا، فَأَفْتَوْا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ، فَضَلُّوا وَأَضَلُّوا".
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah will not take away knowledge by snatching it from the people, but He will take away knowledge by taking away the scholars. When no scholar remains, people will take ignorant ones as their leaders; they will be asked questions and will give verdicts without knowledge, thus they will go astray themselves and will lead others astray as well."
