4048. It was narrated that Ziyâd bin Labid said: "The Prophet ﷺ mentioned something and said: 'That will be at the time when knowledge (of Qur'an) disappears.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, how will knowledge disappear when we read the Qur'an and teach it to our children, and our children will teach it to their children, until the Day of Resurrection?' He said: 'May your mother be bereft of you, O Ziyâd! I thought that you were the wisest man in Al-Madinah. Is it not the case that these Jews and Christians read the Tawrah and the Injil, but they do not act upon anything of what is in them?'" (Da'if)

Commentary
'Knowledge of Qur'an' does not mean only reciting its words, rather it means following its rulings and changing life entirely according to its teachings.
