أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، أخبرنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَارُ، حدثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى بْنِ أَبِي إِيَاسٍ، حدثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ دُكَيْنٍ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، ؓ
قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ لَا يَبْقَى مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ إِلَّا اسْمُهُ، وَلَا يَبْقَى مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ إِلَّا رَسْمُهُ، مَسَاجِدُهُمْ عَامِرَةٌ وَهِيَ خَرَابٌ مِنَ الْهُدَى، عُلَمَاؤُهُمْ شَرُّ مَنْ تَحْتَ أَدِيمِ السَّمَاءِ مَنْ عِنْدَهُمْ تَخْرُجُ الْفِتْنَةُ وَفِيهِمْ تَعُودُ "

He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "A time is about to come upon the people in which nothing of Islam will remain except its name, and nothing of the Qur'an will remain except its script. Their mosques will be flourishing while being ruined of guidance. Their scholars will be the worst of those beneath the canopy of the sky; from them the trial (fitnah) will come forth, and to them it will return."
