[Machine] "Abdullah, how are you when you wear a temptation in which the great ones become disoriented and the small ones grow up and people take it as a tradition? And when it is changed, they say, 'The tradition has changed.' They say, 'And when will that be, O Abu Abdur Rahman?' He said, 'When your readers become numerous, your scholars become few, your leaders become many, and your trustworthy ones become few, and when the worldly life is sought through the actions of the Hereafter.'"
عَبْدُ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ أَنْتُمْ إِذَا لَبِسَتْكُمْ فِتْنَةٌ يَهْرَمُ فِيهَا الْكَبِيرُ وَيَرْبُو فِيهَا الصَّغِيرُ وَيَتَّخِذُهَا النَّاسُ سُنَّةً فَإِذَا غُيِّرَتْ قَالُوا غُيِّرَتِ السُّنَّةُ قَالُوا وَمَتَى ذَلِكَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ؟ قَالَ «إِذَا كَثُرَتْ قُرَّاؤُكُمْ وَقَلَّتْ فُقَهَاؤُكُمْ وَكَثُرَتْ أُمَرَاؤُكُمْ وَقَلَّتْ أُمَنَاؤُكُمْ وَالْتُمِسَتِ الدُّنْيَا بِعَمَلِ الْآخِرَةِ»
