"عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: لا تَزَالُ النَّاسُ إِلا بخْيرٍ مَا أَتَاهُمْ الْعِلْمُ عَنْ عُلَمَائِهِمْ وَكُبَرائِهِمْ وَذَوِى أَنْسَابِهِمْ فَإِذَا أَتَاهُمُ الْعِلْمُ مِنْ صِغَارِهِمْ وَسِفْلَتِهِمْ فَقَدْ هَلَكُوا".

"From Ibn Mas'ud, who said: People will not cease to be in good so long as knowledge comes to them from their scholars, their elders, and their people of lineage. But when knowledge comes to them from their young and their lowly, then they have perished."
