حَدَّثَنَا هَيْثَمُ بْنُ خَارِجَةَ حَدَّثَنَا رِشْدِينُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ أَبِي حَفْصٍ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ
إِنَّ مَثَلَ الْعُلَمَاءِ فِي الْأَرْضِ كَمَثَلِ النُّجُومِ فِي السَّمَاءِ، يُهْتَدَى بِهَا فِي ظُلُمَاتِ الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ، فَإِذَا انْطَمَسَتِ النُّجُومُ أَوْشَكَ أَنْ تَضِلَّ الْهُدَاةُ
