Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بُرْقَانَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْأَصَمِّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَظْهَرُ الْفِتَنُ وَيَكْثُرُ الْهَرْجُ وَيُرْفَعُ الْعِلْمُ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ عُمَرُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ يُرْفَعُ الْعِلْمُ قَالَ عُمَرُ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ يُنْزَعُ مِنْ صُدُورِ الْعُلَمَاءِ وَلَكِنْ يَذْهَبُ الْعُلَمَاءُ.
English Translation
Waki' told us, from Ja'far ibn Burqan, from Yazid ibn al-Asamm, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Trials will appear, chaos will increase, and knowledge will be lifted up." When Umar heard Abu Hurayrah say "knowledge will be lifted up," Umar said: "Indeed, it is not taken away from the hearts of the scholars, but rather the scholars pass away."
