حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ الْبَزَّارُ، وَإِسْحَاق بْنُ مُوسَى الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رِوَايَةً " يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَضْرِبَ النَّاسُ أَكْبَادَ الْإِبِلِ يَطْلُبُونَ الْعِلْمَ فَلَا يَجِدُونَ أَحَدًا أَعْلَمَ مِنْ عَالِمِ الْمَدِينَةِ " , قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ , وَهُوَ حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي هَذَا سُئِلَ : مَنْ عَالِمُ الْمَدِينَةِ ؟ فَقَالَ : إِنَّهُ مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ ، وَقَالَ إِسْحَاق بْنُ مُوسَى ، سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُيَيْنَةَ يَقُولُ : هُوَ الْعُمَرِيُّ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزَ الزَّاهِدُ وَاسْمُهُ : عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، وَسَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ مُوسَى يَقُولُ ، قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، هُوَ مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ ، وَالْعُمَرِيُّ هُوَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ مِنْ وَلَدِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ .
´Narrated Abu Salih reported a narration from Abu Hurairah:` "It shall soon be that people are beating the livers of camels (meaning that they are hastening and traveling upon them) seeking knowledge. But they will not find anyone more knowledgeable than a scholar of Al-Madinah."

There is a corroborating narration (shahid) for this from the hadith of Abu Musa al-Ash‘ari radi Allahu anhu,

Hadith Authentication:
Its chain of narration is weak.
◄ In it, both Ibn Jurayj and Abu’z-Zubayr al-Makki are mudallis, and the narration is through «عن», therefore this chain is weak.
◄ In [الانتقاء لابن عبدالبر ص20], there is also a disconnected (i.e., weak) corroborating narration for it.
Benefit:
When this narration is weak, then there is no need to say, “By this is meant so-and-so or so-and-so.”
◄ It is absolutely correct that Imam Malik was a very great and trustworthy Imam, and ‘Abd al-‘Aziz ibn ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar al-‘Umari was also trustworthy, but first it is necessary for the hadith to be authentic; only after that can the jurisprudence of the hadith be considered.

Benefit:
From this hadith, it is understood that knowledge will continue until the Day of Judgment, and seekers of knowledge will continue to travel from distant places. This hadith also proves that Madinah Munawwarah was, is, and will remain the fountainhead of knowledge.
