Hadith #2998
Arabic Text
أَخْبَرَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ ، أَخْبَرنَا هِشَامٌ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللّ
َهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :" إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَقْبِضُ الْعِلْمَ انْتِزَاعًا يَنْتَزِعُهُ مِنْ النَّاسِ، وَلَكِنْ : قَبْضُ الْعِلْمِ قَبْضُ الْعُلَمَاءِ، فَإِذَا لَمْ يُبْقِ عَالِمًا، اتَّخَذَ النَّاسُ رُؤَسَاءً جُهَّالًا، فَسُئِلُوا، فَأَفْتَوْا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ، فَضَلُّوا وَأَضَلُّوا "

English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Allah does not take away knowledge by snatching it from people, but He takes away knowledge by taking away the scholars, until no scholar remains and people take the ignorant as leaders. They are asked and give rulings without knowledge, so they go astray and lead others astray.'
