“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?’”  

ذَكَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ ذَاكَ عِنْدَ أَوَانِ ذَهَابِ الْعِلْمِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَكَيْفَ يَذْهَبُ الْعِلْمُ وَنَحْنُ نَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَنُقْرِئُهُ أَبْنَاءَنَا وَيُقْرِئُهُ أَبْنَاؤُنَا أَبْنَاءَهُمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَ ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ زِيَادُ إِنْ كُنْتُ لأَرَاكَ مِنْ أَفْقَهِ رَجُلٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ أَوَلَيْسَ هَذِهِ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى يَقْرَءُونَ التَّوْرَاةَ وَالإِنْجِيلَ لاَ يَعْمَلُونَ بِشَىْءٍ مِمَّا فِيهِمَا

ذَكَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ وَذَاكَ عِنْدَ أَوَانِ ذَهَابِ الْعِلْمِ قَالَ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَكَيْفَ 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 أَوَ لَيْسَ هَذِهِ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى يَقْرَءُونَ التَّوْرَاةَ وَالْإِنْجِيلَ لَا يَنْتَفِعُونَ مِمَّا فِيهِمَا بِشَيْءٍ؟  

[Machine] "I came to the Prophet, peace be upon him, while he was speaking to his companions and saying, 'The time of knowledge has passed.' I said, 'By my father and mother, how can the time of knowledge pass when we are reading and teaching the Quran, and our children are learning it, and our children are teaching their children until the Day of Judgment?' He said, 'May your mother lose you, O Ibn Labid. Don't I see you as one of the most knowledgeable people in Madinah? Aren't the Jews and Christians reading the Torah and the Gospel without benefiting from them?'"  

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يُحَدِّثُ أَصْحَابَهُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «قَدْ ذَهَبَ أَوَانُ الْعِلْمِ» قُلْتُ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي وَكَيْفَ يَذْهَبُ أَوَانُ الْعِلْمِ وَنَحْنُ نَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَنُعَلِّمُهُ أَبْنَاءَنَا وَيُعَلِّمُهُ أَبْنَاؤُنَا أَبْنَاءَهُمْ إِلَى أَنَ تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ؟ فَقَالَ «ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ يَا ابْنَ لَبِيدٍ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَرَاكَ مِنْ أَفْقَهِ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ أَوَلَيْسَ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى يَقْرَءُونَ التَّوْرَاةَ وَالْإِنْجِيلَ وَلَا يَنْتَفِعُونَ مِنْهُمَا بِشَيْءٍ؟»  

[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was talking to his companions and saying, "How could knowledge disappear?" I said, "By the lives of my parents, how could knowledge disappear while we are reciting the Quran and teaching it to our children, and our children are teaching it to their children, until the Hour is established?" He said, "May your mother be bereaved of you, O Ibn Labid! I certainly see you as the most knowledgeable person in Medina. Are not the Jews and the Christians reading the Torah and the Gospel, yet they do not benefit from them at all?"  

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يُحَدِّثُ أَصْحَابَهُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «كَيْفَ وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ أَوَانُ الْعِلْمِ» قُلْتُ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي كَيْفَ يَذْهَبُ أَوَانُ الْعِلْمِ وَنَحْنُ نَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ ونُعَلِّمُهُ أَبْنَاءَنَا وَيُعَلِّمُهُ أَبْنَاؤُنَا أَبْنَاءَهُمْ إِلَى أَنْ تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ؟ قَالَ «ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ يَا ابْنَ لَبِيدٍ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَرَاكَ مِنْ أَفْقَهِ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ أَوَلَيْسَ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى يَقْرَءُونَ التَّوْرَاةَ وَالْإِنْجِيلَ ثُمَّ لَا يَنْتَفِعُونَ مِنْهَا بِشَيْءٍ؟»

ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ «ذَلِكَ عِنْدَ أَوَانِ ذَهَابِ الْعِلْمِ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَكَيْفَ يَذْهَبُ الْعِلْمُ وَنَحْنُ نَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَنُقْرِئُهُ أَبْنَاءَنَا وَيُقْرِئُهُ أَبْنَاؤُنَا أَبْنَاءَهُمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ؟ فَقَالَ «ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ زِيَادُ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَرَاكَ مِنْ أَفْقَهِ رَجُلٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ أَوْ لَيْسَ هَذِهِ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى يَقْرَءُونَ التَّوْرَاةَ وَالْإِنْجِيلَ وَلَا يَعْمَلُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْهَا؟»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "This is the time when knowledge will disappear." I asked, "How can that be when we have the Book of Allah to teach our children and they teach it to their children?" He said, "May your mother lose you! Ibn Labeed, I thought you were one of the most intelligent people of Medina. Are not the Jews and Christians among them? They have the Book of Allah, the Torah and the Gospel, but they have not benefited from it in any way."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «هَذَا أَوَانُ ذَهَابِ الْعِلْمِ» قُلْتُ وَكَيْفَ وَفِينَا كِتَابُ اللهِ نُعَلِّمُهُ أَبْنَاءَنَا وَيُعَلِّمُهُ أَبْنَاؤُنَا أَبْنَاءَهُمْ؟ قَالَ «ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ ابْنَ لَبِيدٍ مَا كُنْتُ أَحْسِبُكَ إِلَّا مِنْ أَعْقِلِ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ أَلَيْسَ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى فِيهِمْ كِتَابُ اللهِ التَّوْرَاةُ وَالْإِنْجِيلُ وَلَمْ يَنْتَفِعُوا مِنْهُ بِشَيْءٍ؟»
