Chapter 40 · Tribulationsحَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ الْخُزَاعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، 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 اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: وَالْعِلْمُ فِي رُذَالَتِكُمْ : إِذَا كَانَ الْعِلْمُ فِي الْفُسَّاقِ.

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: “It was said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, 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 Allah, what appeared among those that came before us?’ He said: ‘Kingship given to your youth, immorality even among the old, and knowledge among the base and vile.’”
