حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاق الْهَمْدَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَقْبِضُ الْعِلْمَ انْتِزَاعًا يَنْتَزِعُهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ ، وَلَكِنْ يَقْبِضُ الْعِلْمَ بِقَبْضِ الْعُلَمَاءِ ، حَتَّى إِذَا لَمْ يَتْرُكْ عَالِمًا اتَّخَذَ النَّاسُ رُءُوسًا جُهَّالًا ، فَسُئِلُوا فَأَفْتَوْا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ فَضَلُّوا وَأَضَلُّوا " , وفي الباب عن عَائِشَةَ ، وَزِيَادِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ، وَقَدْ رَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، وَعَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلَ هَذَا .
´Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'As:` that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Indeed Allah does not take away knowledge by removing it from the people, but He takes away knowledge by taking the scholars, until there remains no scholar and the people begin to ask the ignorant leaders, so they give their verdict without knowledge. They will go astray and lead the people astray."
Brief Explanation
1؎: This is among the signs of the nearness of the Day of Judgment: that the scholars of religion will come to an end, and ignorant leaders, imams, and chiefs will take their place. They will have no knowledge whatsoever of the Qur'an and Hadith, yet they will present themselves as mujtahids and muftis, explaining religious matters. With their fatwas and fabricated rulings, they will become a cause of misguidance for others. O Lord of all the worlds! Protect this ummah from such ignorant leaders and imams, ameen.
