Book ‘Knowledge’ of Sahih Bukhari Hadith No 98**.
Narrated Abu Huraira: I said: “O Allah’s Apostle! Who will be the luckiest person, who will gain your intercession on the Day of Resurrection?" Allah’s Apostle said: O Abu Huraira! "I have thought that none will ask me about it before you as I know your longing for the (learning of) Hadiths. The luckiest person who will have my intercession on the Day of Resurrection will be the one who said sincerely from the bottom of his heart “None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.” And 'Umar bin 'Abdul 'Aziz wrote to Abu Bakr bin Hazm, "Look for the knowledge of Hadith and get it written, as I am afraid that religious knowledge will vanish and the religious learned men will pass away (die). Do not accept anything save the Hadiths of the Prophet. Circulate knowledge and teach the ignorant, for knowledge does not vanish except when it is kept secretly (to oneself).”
I was thinking after reading the above hadith that nowadays if we see/hear the lecture of any Islamic Scholar/A’alim than we’ll notice that majority of them narrate Hadith by saying that “It is mentioned in Sahih Bukhari / Muslim that…” without giving proper reference i.e. book name, volume or hadith No etc.
So it this hadith also indicate that this is how the knowlege of religion will going to be vanish beside the death of scholars/a’alims. What i’m trying to say that in future it will be like that I heard this or that but none will be able to give proper reference.
