Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، حَدَّثَنَا أَرْطَاةُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ ، عَنْ ضَمْرَةَ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ مَسْلَمَةَ السَّكُونِيَّ ، وَقَالَ غَيْرُ مُحَمَّدٍ : سَلَمَةَ السَّكُونِيَّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ : بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ قَالَ قَائ
ِلٌ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، هَلْ أُتِيتَ بِطَعَامٍ مِنْ السَّمَاءِ؟، قَالَ :" نَعَمْ أُتِيتُ بِطَعَامٍ "، قَالَ : يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ، هَلْ كَانَ فِيهِ مِنْ فَضْلٍ؟، قَالَ : " نَعَمْ "، قَالَ : فَمَا فُعِلَ بِهِ؟، قَالِ : " رُفِعَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، وَقَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنِّي غَيْرُ لَابِثٍ فِيكُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا، ثُمَّ تَلْبَثُونَ، حَتَّى تَقُولُوا : مَتَى مَتَى؟ ثُمَّ تَأْتُونِي أَفْنَادًا يُفْنِي بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا، بَيْنَ يَدَيْ السَّاعَةِ مُوتَانٌ شَدِيدٌ، وَبَعْدَهُ سَنَوَاتُ الزَّلَازِلِ "

English Translation
It was narrated from Maslamah al-Sakuni (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: 'While we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he looked up at the sky and then looked down, then said: This is the time when knowledge will be lifted from the people until they are unable to do anything with it.' Ziyad ibn Labid al-Ansari said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how will knowledge be lifted when we have read the Quran? By Allah, we will teach it to our children and our children will teach it to their children until the Day of Resurrection.' He said: 'O Ziyad, I thought you were the most knowledgeable man in Madinah. This Torah and Gospel — are they not with the Jews and Christians? But do they benefit them at all?'
