حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرٌ، قَالَ: نَا عَمْرٌو قَالَ: نَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ الْحُصَيْنِ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَا يَقْبِضُ الْعِلْمَ انْتِزَاعًا يَنْتَزِعُهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ، وَلَكِنْ يَقْبِضُهُ بِقَبْضِ الْعُلَمَاءِ، حَتَّى إِذَا لَمْ يَتْرُكْ عَالِمًا اتَّخَذَ النَّاسُ رُءُوسًا جُهَّالًا فَسُئِلُوا، فَأَفْتَوْا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ، فَضَلُّوا وَأَضَلُّوا

✧ Indeed Allah, Mighty and Majestic, does not seize knowledge by snatching it away from people, but He seizes it by taking away the scholars, until when He leaves no scholar, people take ignorant leaders who are asked and give rulings without knowledge; they go astray and lead others astray.
