[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Tribulations will appear, disputes will increase, and knowledge will be lifted." When Umar heard Abu Huraira saying, "knowledge will be lifted," Umar said, "Is it because knowledge will be taken away from the hearts of the scholars? Rather, the scholars will pass away."  

أحمد:١٠٢٣١حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بُرْقَانَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْأَصَمِّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ تَظْهَرُ الْفِتَنُ وَيَكْثُرُ الْهَرْجُ وَيُرْفَعُ الْعِلْمُ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ عُمَرُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ يُرْفَعُ الْعِلْمُ قَالَ عُمَرُ أَمَاإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ يُنْزَعُ مِنْ صُدُورِ الْعُلَمَاءِ وَلَكِنْ يَذْهَبُ الْعُلَمَاءُ
