Hadith #2885
Arabic Text
أَخْبَرَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ حُبَابٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي رَجَاءُ بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي خَالِدُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ الْقُرَشِيِّ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ مَعَ ابْنِ مُحَيْرِيزٍ، بِمَرْجِ الدِّيبَا
جِ فَرَأَيْتُ مِنْهُ خَلْوَةً، فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ مَسْأَلَةٍ، فَقَالَ لِي : مَا تَصْنَعُ بِالْمَسَائِلِ؟، قُلْتُ : " لَوْلَا الْمَسَائِلُ، لَذَهَبَ الْعِلْمُ، قَالَ :" لَا تَقُلْ ذَهَبَ الْعِلْمُ، إِنَّهُ لَا يَذْهَبُ الْعِلْمُ مَا قُرِئَ الْقُرْآنُ، وَلَكِنْ لَوْ قُلْتَ : يَذْهَبُ الْفِقْهُ "

English Translation
It was narrated from Hisham ibn Muslim al-Qurayshi (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: 'I was with Ibn Muhayriz at Marj al-Diybaj and I noticed a solitary moment of his. I asked him about it and he said: I am reflecting upon the fact that the scholars are departing and the ignorant are becoming plentiful, and that the people are clinging to their desires, and that I see this generation after me wearing the garment of religion and removing it whenever they wish.'
