حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَزِيدَ الْقَرَاطِيسِيُّ ثنا أَسَدُ بْنُ مُوسَى ثنا وَكِيعٌ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «§لَوْ
أَنَّ عِلْمَ عُمَرَ وُضِعَ فِي كِفَّةِ مِيزَانٍ وَوُضِعَ عَلْمُ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ فِي كِفَّةٍ لَرَجَحَ عِلْمُهُ بِعِلْمِهِمْ» قَالَ وَكِيعُ قَالَ الْأَعْمَشُ فَأَنْكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ فَأَتَيْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَذَكَرْتُهُ لَهُ فَقَالَ وَمَا أَنْكَرْتَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَوَاللهِ لَقَدْ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ «إِنِّي لَأَحْسِبُ تِسْعَةَ أَعْشَارِ الْعِلْمِ ذَهَبَ يَوْمَ ذَهَبَ عُمَرُ ؓ »

✧ ʿUmar's knowledge was placed in one pan of a scale and the knowledge of the people of the earth in the other pan, his knowledge would outweigh their knowledge." Wakīʿ said: al-Aʿmash said: I found that objectionable, so I went to Ibrāhīm and mentioned it to him. He said, "What do you find objectionable in that? By Allah, ʿAbdullāh said something even better than that. He said, 'I think nine-tenths of knowledge went away on the day ʿUmar ؓ went away.'"
