English translation
4461. It was narrated that 'Amr bin Taghlib said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'One of the portents of the Hour will be that wealth becomes widespread and abundant, and trade will become widespread, but knowledge will disappear.[1] A man will try to sell something and will say: "No, not until I consult the merchant of banu so and so." And people will look throughout a vast area for a scribe, and will not find one." (Sahih)
