The aforementioned is authentic. The scarcity of knowledge and the death of scholars are among the signs of the End of Times and the approaching Hour, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The Hour will not be established until knowledge is قبض (taken away), earthquakes increase, time draws near, tribulations appear, and Al-Harj (killing) becomes widespread." The Hour will only be established upon the worst of people, when no good remains on Earth.
