حدثنا وكيع، أخبرنا هشام، عن أبيه، عن عبد الله بن عمرو، قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " إن الله لا يقبض العلم انتزاعا ينزعه من الناس، ولكن يقبض العلم بقبض العلماء، حتى إذا لم يبق عالما اتخذ الناس رؤساء جهالا، فسئلوا، فأفتوا بغير علم، فضلوا وأضلوا "

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #6787 in Musnad Ahmad.

[Core Subject]: Among the signs of the Hour: ilm is taken away and ignorance spreads. Ilm here is understanding of the religion and the wisdom to make the right decision, which Allah gives and the scholars carry.

[Described Characteristics]: Allah does not snatch knowledge out of people's chests; He takes it by taking the scholars. When no scholar is left, people take ignorant men as leaders, who give rulings without knowledge, go astray and lead others astray.

[Timeline & Context]: It spreads gradually, alongside other signs that have no fixed order.

[Prophetic Practice]: Learn from living scholars while they are with us, and ask Allah: 'My Lord, increase me in knowledge.'
