[Machine] Abdullah bin Mas'ood said: "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Learn the Quran and teach it to the people, learn and teach the obligations (i.e. religious duties), and learn knowledge and teach it to the people. For indeed, I am taking hold of you, and indeed, knowledge will decrease. And trials will appear until two people will differ in a matter of obligation, and they will not find anyone to judge between them.'"  

الكبرى للنسائي:٦٢٧٢ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ الْخَلَّالُ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُبَارَكِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَوْفٌ قَالَ بَلَغَنِي عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ قَالَ

قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «تَعَلَّمُوا الْقُرْآنَ وَعَلِّمُوهُ النَّاسَ وَتَعَلَّمُوا الْفَرَائِضَ وَعَلِّمُوهَا النَّاسَ وَتَعَلَّمُوا الْعِلْمَ وَعَلِّمُوهُ النَّاسَ فَإِنِّي مَقْبُوضٌ وَإِنَّ الْعِلْمَ سَيَنْقُصُ وَتَظْهَرُ الْفِتَنُ حَتَّى يَخْتَلِفَ الِاثْنَانِ فِي فَرِيضَةٍ لَا يَجِدَانِ إِنْسَانًا يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَهُمَا»

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: "Learn knowledge and teach it to others. Learn the obligations (religious duties) and teach them to others. Learn the Quran and teach it to others. For surely, I am a person who will be taken (passed away), and knowledge will decrease, and trials will appear, until two people will differ in a matter of obligation and not find anyone to settle the difference between them."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Learn the Quran and teach it to others, learn knowledge and teach it to others, and learn the religious obligations (Fara'id) and teach them to others. Verily, I am a person who will be taken, and knowledge will decrease until there will be disputes between two individuals regarding a religious obligation, and there will be no judge to settle their dispute."
