Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) recited (these verses of the Qur'an): He it is Who revealed to thee (Muhammad) the Book (the Qur'an) wherein there are clear revelations-these are the substance of the Book and others are allegorical (verses). And as for those who have a yearning for error they go after the allegorical verses seeking (to cause) dissension, by seeking to explain them. And none knows their implications but Allah, and those who are sound in knowledge say: We affirm our faith in everything which is from our Lord. It is only the persons of understanding who really heed (iii. 6). 'A'isha رضی اللہ عنہا (further) reported that Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said (in connection with these verses): When you see such verses, avoid them, for it is they whom Allah has pointed out (in the mentioned verses).

I went to Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) in the morning and he heard the voice of two persons who had an argumentation with each other about a verse. Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) came to us (and) the (signs) of anger could be seen on his face. He said: Verily, the (peoples) before you were ruined because of their disputation in the Book.

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) as saying: Recite the Qur'an as long as your hearts agree to do so, and when you feel variance between them (between your hearts and tongues), then get up (and leave its recital for the time being).

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: Recite the Qur'an as long as your hearts agree to do so and when you find variance between them, then stand up.

Jundub رضی اللہ عنہ told us as we we-re young boys living in Kilfa, that Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) had said: Recite the Qur'an. The rest of the hadith is the same.

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) as saying: The most despicable amongst persons in the eye of Allah is one who tries to fall into dispute with others (for nothing but only to display his knowledge and power of argumentation).

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) as saying: You will certainly follow the way of those who came before you, handspan by handspan, cubit by cubit, until if they entered a lizards hole, you would follows them.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, the Jews and Christians? He said: 'Who else?""

This hadith is reported through Muhammad bin Muttarif from Zayd bin Aslam with the same chain.

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) as saying: It is from the conditions of the Last Hour that knowledge would be taken away and ignorance would prevail (upon the world), the liquor would be drunk, and adultery would become rampant.

May I not narrate to you a hadith which I heard from Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) which no one would narrate to you after me who would have personally heard it from him (the Holy Prophet) (as I have the good fortune to do so)? - It is from the signs of the Last Hour that knowledge would be taken away, ignorance would prevail upon (the world), adultery would become common, wine would be drunk, the number of men will fall short and the women would survive (and thus such a disparity would arise in the number of men and women) that there would be one man to look after fifty women.

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik رضی اللہ عنہ from the prophet ﷺ (a Hadith similar to no. 6786). In the Hadith of Abu Bishr and Abdah it says: No one will narrate to you after me; "I herd the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say..." and he mention a similar report.

I was sitting with 'Abdullah and Abu Musa رضی اللہ عنہ that they reported Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) having said: Prior to the Last Hour, there would be a time when knowledge would be taken away, and ignorance would take its place and there would be bloodshed on a large scale.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of 'Abdullah (bin Mas'ud) and Abu Musa رضی اللہ عنہ (al-Asha'ri) through other chains of transmitters.

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) as saying: (When) the time would draw close to the Last Hour, knowledge would be snatched away, turmoil would be rampant, miserliness would be put (in the hearts of the people) and there would be much bloodshed. They said: What is al-harj? Thereupon he said: It is bloodshed.

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) as saying: Verily, Allah does not take away knowledge by snatching it from the people but He takes away knowledge by taking away the scholars, so that when He leaves no learned person, people turn to the ignorant as their leaders; then they are asked to deliver religious verdicts and they deliver them without knowledge, they go astray, and lead others astray

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of 'Abdullah bin Umar رضی اللہ عنہ through other chains of transmitters, but in the hadith transmitted by Umar bin 'Ali there is an addition of these words: , I met 'Abdullah bin 'Amr رضی اللہ عنہ at the end of the year and I asked him about it, and he narrated to us the hadith as he had narrated before that he had heard Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) as saying.... (The rest of the hadith is the same).

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of 'Abdullah bin Amr bin al-'As رضی اللہ عنہ through another chain of transmitters.

O son of my sister, This news has reached me that 'Abdullah bin 'Amr al-'As رضی اللہ عنہ would pass by us during the Hajj season, so you meet him and ask him (about religious matters) as he has acquired great knowledge from Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ). I thus met him and asked him about things which he narrated from Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ). And amongst these the one he mentioned was that Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: Verily, Allah does not take away knowledge from people directly but he takes away the scholars and consequently takes away (knowledge) along with them and leaves amongst persons the ignorant as their leaders who deliver religious verdicts without (adequate) knowledge and themselves go astray and lead others astray. 'Urwa said: When I narrated this to 'A'isha رضی اللہ عنہا , she deemed it too much (to believe) and thus showed reluctance to accept that (as perfectly true) and said to, 'Urwa: Did he ('Abdullah bin 'Amr) say to you that he had heard Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) as saying: ('Urwa had forgotten to ask this from 'Abdullah bin 'Amr). So when it was the next year, she ('A'isha رضی اللہ عنہا ) said to him ('Urwa): Ibn Amr رضی اللہ عنہ has come (for Hajj), so meet him. talk to him and ask him about this hadith that he narrated to You (last year on the occasion of the Hajj) pertaining to knowledge. He ('Urwa), said: So I met him, and asked about it and he narrated to me exactly like one that he had narrated (to me) for the first time. So when I informed her ('A'isha رضی اللہ عنہا ) about that, she said: I do not think but this that he has certainly told the truth and I find that be has neither made any addition to it, nor missed anything from it.
