حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ غَنَّامٍ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ثنا وَكِيعٌ ثنا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ قَالَ
ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ «ذَلِكَ عِنْدَ أَوَانِ ذَهَابِ الْعِلْمِ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَكَيْفَ يَذْهَبُ الْعِلْمُ وَنَحْنُ نَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَنُقْرِئُهُ أَبْنَاءَنَا وَيُقْرِئُهُ أَبْنَاؤُنَا أَبْنَاءَهُمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ؟ فَقَالَ «ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ زِيَادُ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَرَاكَ مِنْ أَفْقَهِ رَجُلٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ أَوْ لَيْسَ هَذِهِ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى يَقْرَءُونَ التَّوْرَاةَ وَالْإِنْجِيلَ وَلَا يَعْمَلُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْهَا؟»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned something and said: “That is at the time of the departure of knowledge.” I said: “O Messenger of Allah, how will knowledge depart while we recite the Qur’an, teach it to our sons, and our sons will teach it to their sons until the Day of Resurrection?” He said: “May your mother be bereaved of you, Ziyad! I used to consider you among the most knowledgeable men in Madinah. Are not these Jews and Christians reciting the Torah and the Gospel, yet they do not act upon anything from them?”
