English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Zaid bin Labidh (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW]((PBUH) mention about very dangerous thing and said, “There will be time (in future) where knowledge of Deen (Islamic Teachings) will be vanished.” Hazrat Zaid (May Allah be pleased with him) further asked, O’ Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW]((PBUH) how come the knowledge of Deen (Islamic Teachings)will be vanished we are reciting Quran and also teaching our children (descendants) and they are teaching their children (descendants), in reply The Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW]((PBUH) said ” O’Zaid I think of you as most intelligent person of Madinah, you do not notice the Jews and Christian are reciting (Scripture) the Tourat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) Holy Bible (the Holy Books), but do they follow the teaching in it ? “.
[Ibn Majah].
Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Mumin Ayat 54. “A guide and a reminder for men of understanding” also mentioned in Surah Al-Maidah Ayat 66. And if only they had acted according to the Tourat (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel), and what has (now) been sent down to them from their Lord (the Qur’an), they would surely have gotten provision from above them and from underneath their feet. This Hadith serves a stern warning for those who do not follow the Divine injunctions and do not discharge their duty towards Allah. such follower of Islam who just recite Quran but do not intent to follow its message and teaching, it is regrettable indeed that present-day Muslims do not follow this the Quran and Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) and instead observe the baseless practices, also ‘Ulama’, preachers and reformers of the Ummah whose own conduct is contrary to the sermons they give from the pulpit. This Hadith confirms that all Prophets of Allah were men and thus refutes those who attribute divinity to them and exclude them from the category of men or regard them a part of Allah, as Christians believes Prophet Isa (AS) (Jesus to be Christ) by regarding him Allah or His son, or the Jews do Prophet `Uzair (AS) by venerating him as son of Allah.
