LEADERSHIP WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE H 1421 "Allah will not withdraw knowledge by snatching it from people, but it will taken away through the death of knowledgeable people. So that when there are no knowledgeable people left, people will elect the ignorant to be their leaders, asking them for guidance and they will issue their edicts without knowledge. They will be astray themselves and will lead others astray." R 1421 Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abdullah son of Amr, the son of Al 'As who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
1392- وعن عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص رضي الله عنهما ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رسولَ الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم يقول: "إنَّ اللهَ لاَ يَقْبِضُ العِلْمَ انْتِزَاعاً يَنْتَزعهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ،وَلكِنْ يَقْبِضُ العِلْمَ بِقَبْضِ العُلَمَاءِ ، حَتَّى إِذَا لَمْ يُبْقِ عَالِماً ، اتَّخَذَ النَّاسُ رُؤُوساً جُهَّالاً ، فَسُئِلُوا فَأفْتوا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ ، فَضَلُّوا وَأضَلُّوا" . متفقٌ عَلَيْهِ .
