حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ قَالَ ذَكَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ وَذَاكَ عِنْدَ أَوَانِ ذَهَابِ الْعِلْمِ قَالَ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَكَيْفَ يَذْهَبُ الْعِلْمُ وَنَحْنُ نَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَنُقْرِئُهُ أَبْنَاءَنَا وَيُقْرِئُهُ أَبْنَاؤُنَا أَبْنَاءَهُمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَ ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ يَا ابْنَ أُمِّ لَبِيدٍ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَرَاكَ مِنْ أَفْقَهِ رَجُلٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ أَوَلَيْسَ هَذِهِ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى يَقْرَءُونَ التَّوْرَاةَ وَالْإِنْجِيلَ لَا يَنْتَفِعُونَ مِمَّا فِيهِمَا بِشَيْءٍ.
الترجمة الإنجليزية
Waki' told us, al-A'mash told us, from Salim ibn Abi al-Ja'd, from Ziyad ibn Labid, who said: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, mentioned something and said: That will be at the time when knowledge disappears. We said: O Messenger of Allah, how will knowledge disappear while we recite the Qur'an and teach it to our children, and our children teach it to their children, until the Day of Resurrection? He said: May your mother be bereft of you, O Ibn Umm Labid! I used to think you were among the most understanding men in Medina. Do not the Jews and Christians read the Torah and the Gospel without benefiting from anything in them?
