[Machine] He (the Prophet Muhammad) said: While we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah one day, he looked at the sky and then said, "This is the time for knowledge to be uplifted." A man from the Ansar, known as Ziyad bin Labid, asked him, "Will knowledge be uplifted, O Messenger of Allah, when we have the Book of Allah with us, which we have taught to our children and women?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If I did not think you were one of the most knowledgeable people in Madinah, I would have mentioned the deviation of the people of the two Books (Jews and Christians) and what they have with them from the Book of Allah. Then Jubair bin Nufair and Shaddad bin Aws met him in the mosque, and Jubair narrated this Hadith from Auf bin Malik. He said, "Auf spoke the truth." Then the Prophet asked, "Do you know what the lifting of knowledge means?" I said, "I do not know." He said, "It is the disappearance of its vessels." I asked, "Do you know which knowledge will be lifted first?" He said, "I do not know." He said, "Humility until you can barely see someone in prostration."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَنَظَرَ فِي السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذَا أَوَانُ الْعِلْمِ أَنْ يُرْفَعَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ زِيَادُ بْنُ لَبِيدٍ أَيُرْفَعُ الْعِلْمُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَفِينَا كِتَابُ اللهِ وَقَدْ عَلَّمْنَاهُ أَبْنَاءَنَا وَنِسَاءَنَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَظُنُّكَ مِنْ أَفْقَهِ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ ثُمَّذَكَرَ ضَلَالَةَ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابَيْنِ وَعِنْدَهُمَا مَا عِنْدَهُمَا مِنْ كِتَابِ اللهِ ﷻ فَلَقِيَ جُبَيْرُ بْنُ نُفَيْرٍ شَدَّادَ بْنَ أَوْسٍ بِالْمُصَلَّى فَحَدَّثَهُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ عَوْفٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَهَلْ تَدْرِي مَا رَفْعُ الْعِلْمِ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَا أَدْرِي قَالَ ذَهَابُ أَوْعِيَتِهِ قَالَ وَهَلْ تَدْرِي أَيُّ الْعِلْمِ أَوَّلُ أَنْ يُرْفَعَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَا أَدْرِي قَالَ الْخُشُوعُ حَتَّى لَا تَكَادُ تَرَى خَاشِعًا  

[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.  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ عَوْفُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَظَرَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ يَوْمًا فَقَالَ «هَذَا أَوَانُ يُرْفَعُ الْعِلْمُ» فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ ابْنُ لَبِيدٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ يُرْفَعُ الْعِلْمُ وَقَدْ أُثْبِتَ فِي الْكِتَابِ وَوَعَتْهُ الْقُلُوبُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَحْسَبُكَ مِنْ أَفْقَهِ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ» ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ ضَلَالَةَ الْيَهُودِ وَالنَّصَارَى عَلَى مَا فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَلَقِيتُ شَدَّادَ بْنَ أَوْسٍ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِحَدِيثِ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ عَوْفٌ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِأَوَّلِ ذَلِكَ يُرْفَعُ؟ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ الْخُشُوعُ حَتَّى لَا تَرَى خَاشِعًا «هَذَا صَحِيحٌ وَقَدِ احْتَجَّ الشَّيْخَانِ بِجَمِيعِ رُوَاتِهِ وَالشَّاهِدُ لِذَلِكَ فِيهِ شَدَّادُ بْنُ أَوْسٍ فَقَدْ سَمِعَ جُبَيْرُ بْنُ نُفَيْرٍ الْحَدِيثَ مِنْهُمَا جَمِيعًا» وَمِنْ ثَالِثٍ مِنَ الصَّحَابَةِ وَهُوَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِصحيح احتجا برواته  

[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  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at the sky one day and said, "This is the time when knowledge is being raised." A man from the Ansar, whose name was Ziyad bin Labid, said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, is knowledge being raised even though you have come and established it in the hearts?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If I thought you were one of the most knowledgeable people of Madinah, then I would." Then he explained to him the misguidance of the Jews and the Christians regarding what is in their hands of the Book of Allah. So I met Shaddad bin Aws and narrated to him the Hadith of Awf. He said, "Awf spoke the truth. Shall I tell you about the first thing that is raised? It is humility, which is not visible in a person."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَظَرَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ يَوْمًا فَقَالَ «هَذَا أَوَانٌ يُرْفَعُ الْعِلْمُ» فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ زِيَادُ بْنُ لَبِيدٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ يُرْفَعُ الْعِلْمُ وَقَدْ أَتَيْتَ وَوَعَتْهُ الْقُلُوبُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَحْسَبُكَ مِنْ أَفْقَهِ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ» ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ لَهُ ضَلَالَةَ الْيَهُودِ وَالنَّصَارَى عَلَى مَا فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللهِ فَلَقِيتُ شَدَّادَ بْنَ أَوْسٍ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِحَدِيثِ عَوْفٍ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ عَوْفٌ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِأَوَّلِ ذَلِكَ يُرْفَعُ؟ قَالَ «الْخُشُوعُ لَا تَرَى خَاشِعًا»  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , looked at the sky one day, and said, "This is the time when knowledge is elevated." So, a man from the Ansar, whose name was Labid ibn Ziyad, said, "O Messenger of Allah, is knowledge elevated even though it has been established and engraved in the hearts?" The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said to him, "If I were to consider anyone among the people of Madinah to be the most knowledgeable, it would be you." Then, he mentioned to him the misguidance of the Jews and Christians regarding what is in their hands from the Book of Allah. He said, "So, I met Shaddad ibn Aws, and I narrated to him the Hadith of Awf ibn Malik. He said, 'Awf spoke the truth. Shall I inform you about the first thing that is elevated?' I said, 'Yes, please.' He said, 'It is humility until you do not see a person in a state of humility.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَظَرَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ يَوْمًا فَقَالَ «هَذَا أَوَانٌ يُرْفَعُ الْعِلْمُ» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ لَبِيدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ يُرْفَعُ الْعِلْمُ وَقَدْ أُثْبِتَ وَوَعَتْهُ الْقُلُوبُ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَحْسَبُكَ مِنْ أَفْقَهِ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ» وَذَكَرَ لَهُ ضَلَالَةَ الْيَهُودِ وَالنَّصَارَى عَلَى مَا فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللهِ قَالَ فَلَقِيتُ شَدَّادَ بْنَ أَوْسٍ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِحَدِيثِ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ عَوْفٌ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِأَوَّلِ ذَلِكَ يُرْفَعُ؟ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ الْخُشُوعُ حَتَّى لَا تَرَى خَاشِعًا
