أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَسْعَدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : أَتَدْرِي كَيْفَ يُنْقَصُ الْعِلْمُ؟، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : كَمَا يُنْفَضُ الثَّوْبُ، وَكَمَا يَقْسُو الدِّرْهَمُ، قَالَ :" لَا، وَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَمِنْهُ، قَبْضُ الْعِلْمِ : قَبْضُ الْعُلَمَاءِ "

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #3003 in Sunan ad-Darimi.

[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.'
