[Machine] He (the narrator) said, Al-Awf bin Malik al-Ashja'i reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, looked at the sky one day and said, "This is the time when knowledge is raised." A man from the Ansar, known as Ibn Labid, said, "O Messenger of Allah, how is knowledge raised when it has been established in the Book and firmly established in the hearts?" The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, "If only I considered you one of the most knowledgeable people of Madinah." Then he mentioned the misguidance of the Jews and the Christians regarding what they have in their hands from the Book of Allah. He said, "So I met Shaddad ibn Aws and I informed him of the hadith of Awf bin Malik." Shaddad ibn Aws said, "Awf spoke the truth. Should I inform you of the first thing to be raised?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Humility until you do not see a person in a state of fear and awe." I said, "This is correct." The two sheikhs (Al-Bukhari and Muslim) have relied on all of its narrators, and the witness to that is Shaddad ibn Aws, as Jubayr bin Nufayr has heard the hadith from both of them collectively. And it is also confirmed by a third companion, which is Abu Darda.
