Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَقْبِضُ الْعِلْمَ انْتِزَاعًا يَنْزِعُهُ (٣) مِنَ النَّاسِ، وَلَكِنْ يَقْبِضُ الْعِلْمَ، ، بِقَبْضِ الْعُلَمَاءِ، حَتَّى إِذَا لَمْ يُبْقِ عَالِمًا اتَّخَذَ النَّاسُ رُؤَسَاءَ جُهَّالًا، فَسُئِلُوا، فَأَفْتَوْا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ، فَضَلُّوا وَأَضَلُّوا " (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Allah Almighty will not take away knowledge by snatching it from among the people, but He will take away knowledge by taking away the scholars. Until, when not a single scholar remains, people will take the ignorant as their leaders, and they will be asked questions and will issue verdicts without knowledge. As a result, they will go astray themselves and will lead others astray as well."
