Jami' at-Tirmidhi 2653

Translation

from Abu Ad-Darda who said: "We were with the Prophet ﷺ when he raised his sight to the sky, then he said: 'This is the time when knowledge is to be taken from the people, until what remains of it shall not amount to anything." So Ziyad bin Labid Al-Ansari said: 'How will it be taken from us while we recite the Qur'an. By Allah we recite it, and our women and children recite it?' He ﷺ said: 'May you be bereaved of your mother O Ziyad! I used to consider you among the Fuqaha of the people of Al-Madinah. The Tawrah and Injil are with the Jews and Christians, but what do they avail of them?'" Jubair said: "So I met 'Ubadah bin As-Samit and said to him: 'Have you not heard what your brother Abu Ad-Darda said?' Then I informed him of what Abu Ad-Darda said. He said: 'Abu Ad-Darda spoke the truth. If you wish, we shall narrated to you about the first knowledge to be removed from the people: It is Khushu', soon you will enter the congregational Masjid, but not see any man in it with Khushu'.'"

  machine translationJubayr said: I met ʿUbādah b. al-Ṣāmit and said, "Do you not hear what your brother Abū al-Dardāʾ is saying?" And I told him what Abū al-Dardāʾ had said. He said, "Abū al-Dardāʾ spoke the truth. If you wish, I will tell you the first knowledge that will be taken away from the people: humility (khushūʿ). It is close to happening that you will enter a congregational mosque and not see in it a single humble man." Abū ʿĪsā said: This is a good and gharīb (ḥasan gharīb) ḥadīth. Muʿāwiyah b. Ṣāliḥ is trustworthy (thiqah) according to the scholars of ḥadīth, and we do not know of anyone who spoke against him except Yaḥyā b. Saʿīd al-Qaṭṭān.
