(What is said regarding) the disappearance of the (religious) knowledge and the appearance of (religious) ignorance

باب رَفْعِ الْعِلْمِ وَظُهُورِ الْجَهْلِ

And Rabi‘a said, “It is not wise for a person who has been gifted with a part of the (religious) knowledge to ruin himself (by abstaining from teaching it to others).” ​​
وَقَالَ رَبِيعَةُ لاَ يَنْبَغِي لأَحَدٍ عِنْدَهُ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ أَنْ يُضَيِّعَ نَفْسَهُ.
Sahih al-Bukhari 80
حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ ‏‏.‏
"‏ إِنَّ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِ السَّاعَةِ أَنْ يُرْفَعَ الْعِلْمُ، وَيَثْبُتَ الْجَهْلُ، وَيُشْرَبَ الْخَمْرُ، وَيَظْهَرَ الزِّنَا ‏"
