وَأَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَزْهَرُ بْنُ جَمِيلٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَثَّامُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ؓ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ:
" إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَقْبِضُ الْعِلْمَ انْتِزَاعًا يَنْتَزِعُهُ، وَلَكِنْ يَقْبِضُ بِقَبْضِ الْعُلَمَاءِ، فَإِذَا لَمْ يُبْقِ عَالِمًا اتَّخَذَ النَّاسُ رُؤَسَاءَ جُهَّالًا، فَسُئِلُوا فَأَفْتَوْا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ فَضَلُّوا وَأَضَلُّوا

✧ "Indeed Allah does not take away knowledge by snatching it away, but He takes it away by taking away the scholars. When no scholar remains, the people take ignorant leaders, so they are asked and they give fatwas without knowledge, thus they go astray and lead others astray."
