حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ وَعَبْدَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ وَمَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ وَحَفْصُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَشُعَيْبُ بْنُ إِسْحَاق، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَقْبِضُ الْعِلْمَ انْتِزَاعًا يَنْتَزِعُهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَكِنْ يَقْبِضُ الْعِلْمُ بِقَبْضِ الْعُلَمَاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا لَمْ يُبْقِ عَالِمًا اتَّخَذَ النَّاسُ رُءُوسًا جُهَّالًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَسُئِلُوا فَأَفْتَوْا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَضَلُّوا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَضَلُّوا .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Allah will not take away knowledge by removing it from people (from their hearts).
