[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?"
