باب في ذَهَابِ الْعِلْمِ:Chapter: The Disappearance of Knowledge
Hadith 257
أَخْبَرَنَا أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، حَدَّثَنِي صَفْوَانُ بْنُ رُسْتُمَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنْ تَمِيمٍ الدَّارِيِّ، رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: تَطَاوَلَ النَّاسُ فِي الْبِنَاءِ فِي زَمَنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: "يَا مَعْشَرَ الْعُرَيْبِ، الْأَرْضَ الْأَرْضَ، إِنَّهُ لَا إِسْلَامَ إِلَّا بِجَمَاعَةٍ، وَلَا جَمَاعَةَ إِلَّا بِإِمَارَةٍ، وَلَا إِمَارَةَ إِلَّا بِطَاعَةٍ، فَمَنْ سَوَّدَهُ قَوْمُهُ عَلَى الْفِقْهِ، كَانَ حَيَاةً لَهُ وَلَهُمْ، وَمَنْ سَوَّدَهُ قَوْمُهُ عَلَى غَيْرِ فِقْهٍ، كَانَ هَلَاكًا لَهُ وَلَهُمْ".
Sayyiduna Tamim Dari (may Allah be pleased with him) said: During the time of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), people began to take pride in building constructions, so Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O people of Arabia! Beware of the earth, beware of the earth. Islam cannot be established without a community, and a community cannot exist without governance, and governance and leadership cannot be established without obedience. So, whoever is made a leader by his people on the basis of knowledge and understanding, he is a source of life for himself and his people, and whoever is made a leader by his people without understanding, it is destruction for him and his people.
