ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ الضَّلَالَةِ الَّتِي كَانَ يَتَخَوَّفُهَا ﷺ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at the sky and said, "This is the time for the elevation of knowledge." A man from the Ansar named Labid bin Ziyad said, "O Messenger of Allah, knowledge has already been established and its benefits have reached people's hearts." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If I were to consider anyone the most knowledgeable of the people of Madinah, it would be you." Then, he mentioned the misguidance of the Jews and Christians regarding what they have in their hands from the Book of Allah. I met Shaddad bin Aws and narrated to him the hadith of Awf bin Malik. He said, "Awf spoke the truth." Then he said, "Shall I inform you of the first thing to be lifted up?" I said, "Yes." He said, "It is humility until you do not see anyone showing humbleness."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَظَرَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَقَالَ «هَذَا أَوَانُ رَفْعِ الْعِلْمُ» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ لَبِيدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يُرْفَعُ الْعِلْمُ وَقَدْ أُثْبِتَ وَوَعَتْهُ الْقُلُوبُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَحْسِبُكَ أَفْقَهَ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ» ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ ضَلَالَةَ الْيَهُودِ وَالنَّصَارَى عَلَى مَا فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَلَقِيتُ شَدَّادَ بْنَ أَوْسٍ وَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِحَدِيثِ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ عَوْفٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُ بِأَوَّلِ ذَلِكَ يُرْفَعُ؟ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ الْخُشُوعُ حَتَّى لَا تَرَى خَاشِعًا
