The Meccan Revelations

Chapter 19

On the cause of diminishing and growing of the sciences and His saying, the Exalted: ﴾say: my Lord increase me in knowledge﴿ [00:00] and the saying of (the Prophet), peace be upon him, that Allah never takes out science by pulling it out from the chests (/hearts) of scientists, but He takes it out by taking scientists (themselves, as was narrated in the) hadith.

فى سبب نقص العلوم وزيادتها وقوله تعالى (وقل رب زدنى علما) وقوله --ص-- إن الله لا يقبض العلم انتزاعا ينتزعه من صدور العلماء ولكن يقبضه بقبض العلماء
