"عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ عَليكُم بِالْعِلْمِ قَبْل أَنْ يُرْفَعَ فَإِنَّ مِنْ رَفْعِهِ أَنْ يُقْبَضَ أَصْحَابُهُ، وَإيَّاكُم والتَّبَدُّعَ والتَّنَطُّعَ وَعَلَيكُم بالعتق فَإنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ هَذِه الأمَة أَقَوَامٌ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُم يَدْعُون إِلَى كِتَابِ الله وَقَدْ تَركُوه وَرَاءَ ظُهُورِهِم".

"From Ibn Mas'ud who said: O people, hold fast to knowledge before it is taken away, for its removal is that its bearers are taken. Beware of innovation (tabaddu') and excess (tanattu'), and hold fast to the old path. There will come at the end of this nation people who claim that they call to the Book of Allah while they have abandoned it behind their backs."
