Hadith 993
۞
4. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “A time will come on my Ummah when only the name of the Holy Quran will remain. They will have only the title of Islam while they will be far away from it. Their mosques will be filled apparently but will be completely deprived of guidance. Their jurists will be worst under this sky and mischief will start from them and return to them.
وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص سَیَأْتِی عَلَی أُمَّتِی زَمَانٌ لَا یَبْقَی مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ إِلَّا رَسْمُهُ وَ مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ إِلَّا اسْمُهُ یُسَمَّوْنَ بِهِ وَ هُمْ أَبْعَدُ النَّاسِ مِنْهُ مَسَاجِدُهُمْ عَامِرَهٌ وَ هِیَ خَرَابٌ مِنَ الْهُدَی فُقَهَاءُ ذَلِکَ الزَّمَانِ شَرُّ فُقَهَاءَ تَحْتَ ظِلِّ السَّمَاءِ مِنْهُمْ خَرَجَتِ الْفِتْنَهُ وَ إِلَیْهِمْ تَعُودُ.
