حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو کُرَيْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ وَعَبْدَةُ وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ ح و حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ وَمَالِکُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ وَحَفْصُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ وَشُعَيْبُ بْنُ إِسْحَقَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَقْبِضُ الْعِلْمَ انْتِزَاعًا يَنْتَزِعُهُ مِنْ النَّاسِ وَلَکِنْ يَقْبِضُ الْعِلْمُ بِقَبْضِ الْعُلَمَائِ فَإِذَا لَمْ يُبْقِ عَالِمًا اتَّخَذَ النَّاسُ رُئُوسًا جُهَّالًا فَسُئِلُوا فَأَفْتَوْا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ فَضَلُّوا وَأَضَلُّوا

ابن ماجہ · Hadith 52

It was narrated from ‘Abdullâh bin ‘Amr bin ‘As that the Messenger of Allah s.a.w.w. said: ‘Allah will not take away knowledge by removing it from people (from their hearts). Rather He will take away knowledge by taking away the scholars, then when there are no scholars left, the people will take the ignorant as their leaders. They will be asked questions and they will issue verdicts without knowledge, thus they will go astray and lead others astray.’” (Sahih)
