How to reconcile the hadith: (A group from my Ummah will remain manifestly upon the truth...) with the departure of knowledge?

The questioner : He says:The questioner : What is the reconciliation between the hadith:

a section of my people will continue to hold to the truth

لا تزال طائفة من أمتي على الحق ظاهرين

and the hadith:

The departure of knowledge

ذهاب العلم

?

The Shaykh : The reconciliation between them is that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

Allah does not take away the knowledge, by taking it away from (the hearts of) the people, but takes it away by the death of the religious learned

إِنَّ اللَّه لا يقبض العلم انتزاعًا ينتزعه من صدور الرجال ، ولكن يقبض العلماء

So it is necessary that the manifest group remains in this Ummah; it is necessary that a scholar remains to guide them to the Shari'ah of Allah. Yes.
