"عَنْ هُبيرة بْنِ مَرْيمَ: أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: لا يَأتى عَلَيكُمْ عَامٌ إِلا شَرٌ مِنَ الْعامِ الَّذِى مَضَى، قَالُوا: أليْسَ يَكُونُ العَامُ أَخْصَبَ من العامِ، قَالَ: لَيْسَ ذَاكَ، أَعْنِى إِنَّما أعْنِى ذهَابَ الْعُلَمَاءِ، قَالَ: وَأَظُنُّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ يَومَ أُصِيبَ ذَهَبَ مَعَهُ ثُلُثُ الْعِلْمِ".

"On the authority of Hubayrah ibn Maryam: that 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud said: No year will come upon you except that it is worse than the year that passed. They said: Is it not the case that a year will be more fertile than a year? He said: That is not what I mean; I mean the passing of the scholars. He said: And I think that when 'Umar ibn al-Khattab was struck, a third of knowledge went with him."
