Sahih al-Bukhari 100

Translation

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "Allah does not take away knowledge by pulling it away from His servants; rather, He takes away knowledge by taking away the scholars. When no scholar remains, people will appoint ignorant leaders who will be asked questions and will issue rulings without knowledge; thus, they will go astray and lead others astray."
