[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؟»
