ما صحة الحديث الذي يقول: "إن الشباب هم شرارة النار، إما أن يمهدوا الطريق أو يحرقوه"؟

No hadith with this wording or close to its meaning has been found, despite its attribution on some English Islamic websites to Tirmidhi (whether Abu Isa or Al-Hakim). A Muslim must verify the authenticity of a hadith before attributing it to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Youth are the pillar of society and its fundamental basis that leads it towards progress or decline.
