English translation

4015. It was narrated that Anas bin Mālik said: "It was said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, when should we stop enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil?' He said: 'When there appears among you that which appeared among those who came before you.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, what appeared among those who came before us?' He said: 'Kingship given to your youth, immorality even among the old, and knowledge among the base and vile.'" (Hasan) Zaid said: "The meaning of the Prophet's words: 'Knowledge among the base and vile' is when knowledge is found among the evildoers."

4015 - حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ الْخُزَاعِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَيْدٍ حَفْصُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ الرُّعَيْنِيُّ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَتَى نَتْرُكُ الْأَمْرَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ، وَالنَّهْيَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ؟ قَالَ: «إِذَا ظَهَرَ فِيكُمْ مَا ظَهَرَ فِي الْأُمَمِ قَبْلَكُمْ» ، قُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا ظَهَرَ فِي الْأُمَمِ قَبْلَنَا؟ قَالَ: «الْمُلْكُ فِي صِغَارِكُمْ، وَالْفَاحِشَةُ فِي كِبَارِكُمْ، وَالْعِلْمُ فِي رُذَالَتِكُمْ» قَالَ زَيْدٌ: " تَفْسِيرُ مَعْنَى قَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «وَالْعِلْمُ فِي رُذَالَتِكُمْ» ، إِذَا كَانَ الْعِلْمُ فِي الْفُسَّاقِ "
