“The Prophet ﷺ mentioned something and said: ‘That will be at the time when knowledge (of Qur’an) disappears.’ I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, how will knowledge disappear when we read the Qur’an and teach it to our children, until the Day of Resurrection?’ He said: ‘May your mother be bereft of you, Ziyad! I thought that you were the wisest man in Al- Madinah. Is it not the case that these Jews and Christians read the Tawrah and the Injil, but they do not act upon anything of what is in them?’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4048)   

ذَكَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ شَيْئًا قَالَ وَذَاكَ عِنْدَ أَوَانِ ذَهَابِ الْعِلْمِ قَالَ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ يَذْهَبُ الْعِلْمُ وَنَحْنُ نَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَنُقْرِئُهُ أَبْنَاءَنَا وَيُقْرِئُهُ أَبْنَاؤُنَا أَبْنَاءَهُمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ؟ قَالَ ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ يَا ابْنَ أُمِّ لَبِيدٍ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَرَاكَ مِنْ أَفْقَهِ رَجُلٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ أَوَلَيْسَ هَذِهِ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى يَقْرَءُونَ التَّوْرَاةَ وَالْإِنْجِيلَ فَلَا يَنْتَفِعُونَ مِمَّا فِيهِمَا بِشَيْءٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "This is the time when knowledge will disappear." Shu'bah (narrator) said, or he said, "This is the time when knowledge will be cut off." So I said, "Then how will we teach the Book of Allah to our children, and how will our children teach it to their children?" He said, "May your mother lose you! Ibn Labid was not mistaken about you. Did I not think that you were one of the most understanding of the people of Madinah? Are not the Jews and Christians among them people who have the book of Allah, the Most High? "Shu'bah (narrator) said, or he said, "Are not the Jews and Christians among them people who have the Torah and the Injil, and yet they do not benefit from it at all?" He said, or he said, "Are not the Jews and Christians, or the people of the book, among them?"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَذَا أَوَانُ ذَهَابِ الْعِلْمِ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ أَوْ قَالَ هَذَا أَوَانُ انْقِطَاعِ الْعِلْمِ فَقُلْتُ وَكَيْفَ وَفِينَا كِتَابُ اللهِ نُعَلِّمُهُ أَبْنَاءَنَا وَيُعَلِّمُهُ أَبْنَاؤُنَا أَبْنَاءَهُمْ؟ قَالَ ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ ابْنَ لَبِيدٍ مَا كُنْتُ أَحْسَبُكَ إِلَّا مِنْأَعْقَلِ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ أَلَيْسَ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى فِيهِمْ كِتَابُ اللهِ تَعَالَى؟ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ أَوْ قَالَ أَلَيْسَ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى فِيهِمُ التَّوْرَاةُ وَالْإِنْجِيلُ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَنْتَفِعُوا مِنْهُ بِشَيْءٍ؟ أَوْ قَالَ أَلَيْسَ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى أَوْ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ شُعْبَةُ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ فِيهِمْ كِتَابُ اللهِ
