Sahih Muslim Hadith 6796 – The Taking Away

English

[6796] 113 – (2673) 'Abdullâh bin 'Amr bin Al-'As said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'Allah will not take away knowledge by snatching it away from the people. Rather, He will take away knowledge by taking away the scholars until, when there is no scholar left, people will turn to ignorant leaders who will be asked questions and will issue Fatâwá (rulings) without knowledge. They will go astray and lead others astray."
