[Machine] Ishaq narrated that Abdur-Razzaq informed Thawri, who reported from Talhah, who reported from Ata, who reported from Ibn Abbas, regarding the saying of Allah Almighty: "Do they not see that We are gradually reducing the land from its sides?" (Surah Ar-Rad 41). He said, "The death of its scholars and jurists."
ثنا إِسْحَاقُ أَنْبَأَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَنْبَأَ الثَّوْرِيُّ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّا نَأْتِي الْأَرْضَ نَنْقُصُهَا مِنْ أَطْرَافِهَا} [الرعد 41] قَالَ مَوْتُ عُلَمَائِهَا وَفُقَهَائِهَا
