Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna narrated to us, he said: Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us, he said: Shu'bah narrated to us, from Abu Ishaq, from Abu al-Ahwas, from Abdullah, who said: Indeed, you are in an age in which jurists are many and speakers are few, and those who ask are few and those who give are many, and action is a guide to knowledge. But there will come after you a time in which jurists are few and speakers are many, and those who ask are many and those who give are few, and knowledge is a guide to action.
