Ziyad ibn Labid (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet ﷺ mentioned something and then said: "That will be at the time when knowledge departs." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, how can knowledge depart when we recite the Qur'an, and we teach it to our children, and our children teach it to their children until the Day of Judgment?" He said: "May your mother mourn you, Ziyad! I used to think you were one of the most knowledgeable men in Madinah. Do not the Jews and the Christians read the Torah and the Gospel but do not act upon anything in them?"
