زِيَادُ بْنُ لَبِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ بَدْرِيٌّ عَقَبِيٌّ «كَانَ يَنْزِلُ الْكُوفَةَ يُكْنَى أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ»

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, how is knowledge taken away from us while we read and teach the Quran to our children, women, and those under our care?" He said, "By Allah, O Ziyad, I thought you were one of the knowledgeable scholars of the Muslims. Don't you know that the Torah and the Injil were revealed to the Jews and the Christians, but it did not benefit them because they did not act upon it?"  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ يُقْبَضُ الْعِلْمُ وَنَحْنُ نَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ ونُعَلِّمُهُ أَبْنَاءَنَا وَنِسَاءَنَا وأَرِقَّاءَنَا؟ قَالَ «وَاللهِ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَحْسَبُكَ يَا زِيَادُ لَمِنْ فُقَهَاءِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَلَسْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ التَّوْرَاةَ وَالْإِنْجِيلَ أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَى الْيَهُودِ وَالنَّصَارَى فَمَا نَفَعَهُمْ إِذْ لَمْ يَعْمَلُوا بِهِ؟»
