Al-Lu'lu Wal-MarjanHadith Number 1712
حديث عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُول: إِنَّ الله لَا يَقْبِضُ الْعِلْمَ انْتِزَاعًا، يَنْتَزِعُهُ مِنَ الْعِبَادِ وَلكِنْ يَقْبِضُ الْعِلْمَ بِقبْضِ الْعُلَمَاءِ حَتَّى إِذَا لَمْ يُبْقِ عَالِمًا، اتَّخَذَ النَّاسُ رُءُوسًا جُهَّالًا، فَسُئِلُوا، فَأَفْتَوْا بغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ، فَضَلُّوا وَأَضَلُّوا.
Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'as Narrated from:
I heard Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم saying, “Allâh does not take away the knowledge by taking it away from (the hearts of) the people, but takes it away by the death of the (religious) learned men, till when none of the (religious) learned men remains, people will take as their leaders ignorant persons who on being consulted will give their verdict without (religious) knowledge. So they will go astray and will lead the people astray.” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 100, Vol. 1 )
