حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَشَخَصَ بِبَصَرِهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ قَالَ :" هَذَا أَوَانُ يُخْتَلَسُ الْعِلْمُ مِنَ النَّاسِ حَتَّى لَا يَقْدِرُوا مِنْهُ عَلَى شَيْءٍ " ، فَقَالَ زِيَادُ بْنُ لَبِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ : كَيْفَ يُخْتَلَسُ مِنَّا وَقَدْ قَرَأْنَا الْقُرْآنَ ؟ فَوَاللَّهِ لَنَقْرَأَنَّهُ ، وَلَنُقْرِئَنَّهُ نِسَاءَنَا ، وَأَبْنَاءَنَا ، فَقَالَ : " ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ يَا زِيَادُ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَعُدُّكَ مِنْ فُقَهَاءِ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ ، هَذِهِ التَّوْرَاةُ وَالْإِنْجِيلُ عِنْدَ الْيَهُودِ , وَالنَّصَارَى فَمَاذَا تُغْنِي عَنْهُمْ " , قَالَ جُبَيْرٌ : فَلَقِيتُ عُبَادَةَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ، قُلْتُ : أَلَا تَسْمَعُ إِلَى مَا يَقُولُ أَخُوكَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ ؟ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِالَّذِي قَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ ، قَالَ : " صَدَقَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ إِنْ شِئْتَ لَأُحَدِّثَنَّكَ بِأَوَّلِ عِلْمٍ يُرْفَعُ مِنَ النَّاسِ الْخُشُوعُ يُوشِكُ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ مَسْجِدَ جَمَاعَةٍ فَلَا تَرَى فِيهِ رَجُلًا خَاشِعًا " , قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ ، وَمُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ثِقَةٌ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْحَدِيثِ ، وَلَا نَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا تَكَلَّمَ فِيهِ غَيْرَ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانِ ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ نَحْوُ هَذَا ، وَرَوَى بَعْضُهُمْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
´Narrated Jubair bin Nufair:` from Abu Ad-Darda who said: "We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) when he raised his sight to the sky, then he said: 'This is the time when knowledge is to be taken from the people, until what remains of it shall not amount to anything." So Ziyad bin Labid Al-Ansari said: 'How will it be taken from us while we recite the Qur'an. By Allah we recite it, and our women and children recite it?' He (ﷺ) said: 'May you be bereaved of your mother O Ziyad! I used to consider you among the Fuqaha of the people of Al-Madinah. The Tawrah and Injil are with the Jews and Christians, but what do they avail of them?'" Jubair said: "So I met 'Ubadah bin As-Samit and said to him: 'Have you not heard what your brother Abu Ad-Darda said?' Then I informed him of what Abu Ad-Darda said. He said: 'Abu Ad-Darda spoke the truth. If you wish, we shall narrated to you about the first knowledge to be removed from the people: It is Khushu', soon you will enter the congregational Masjid, but not see any man in it with Khushu'.'"

Brief Explanation
1؎: That is, what benefit did those books bring them? Just as the Jews and Christians, having received the Torah and the Gospel, were unable to derive benefit from them, near the end of times, the same will be the case with you Muslims. Your righteous scholars will come to an end, and although the Qur’an will remain with you, you will still be deprived of its blessings.

Hafiz Zubair Ali Zai
Authentication of the Hadith:
Its chain of narration is hasan (good).
Al-Hakim [1؍99 ح338] and al-Dhahabi both declared it sahih (authentic), and its second chain is found in Musnad Ahmad [6؍26۔ 27], which Ibn Hibban [115], al-Hakim [1؍98۔ 99 ح337], and al-Dhahabi—all three—declared sahih (authentic), and its chain is hasan (good).
Jurisprudence of the Hadith:
➊ This hadith contains an indication towards the passing of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and the cessation of revelation.
➋ In some parts of the Ummah, innovations (bid‘ah) and misguidance will arise, the real cause of their spread being lack of knowledge and ignorance. «أعاذنا الله منها»
➌ Before the Day of Judgment, ignorance will become widespread.
