أَخْبَرَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مَزْيَدٍ عَنْ أَوْفَى بْنِ دَلْهَمٍ أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ

«تَعَلَّمُوا الْعِلْمَ تُعْرَفُوا بِهِ وَاعْمَلُوا بِهِ تَكُونُوا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ فَإِنَّهُ سَيَأْتِي بَعْدَ هَذَا زَمَانٌ لَا يَعْرِفُ فِيهِ تِسْعَةُ عُشَرَائِهِمُ الْمَعْرُوفَ وَلَا يَنْجُو مِنْهُ إِلَّا كُلُّ نُوَمَةٍ فَأُولَئِكَ أَئِمَّةُ الْهُدَى وَمَصَابِيحُ الْعِلْمِ لَيْسُوا بِالْمَسَايِيحِ وَلَا الْمَذَايِيعِ الْبُذْرِ»

✧ Learn knowledge so that you are known by it, and act upon it so that you become among its people. For after this there will come a time when nine-tenths of their people will not recognize the known, and none will escape from it except every quiet one. Those are the leaders of guidance and the lamps of knowledge, not the prattlers, nor the broadcasters, nor the gossips.
