The Hour will not come until knowledge is sought from the young ones: Does this mean young in age or young in knowledge?

The questioner : In the hadith Musnad Ahmad 720Da'if (Darussalam), does this mean young in knowledge or young in age?
The Shaykh : Both, because those who are young in knowledge do not have complete knowledge, and those who are young in age do not have experience. Knowledge, as you know, is the removal of ignorance, and education is the removal of foolishness. This is why they are called the rabban scholars. Not every scholar is an educator. Some scholars, on the contrary, rejoice when they find a trick to guide people to, so that they can drop one of the obligations of Allah, or violate one of the prohibitions of Allah. So not every scholar is beneficial to creation. The intended meaning of "young" can include both meanings: young in knowledge and young in age. As for those young in knowledge, it is because of their ignorance. And as for those young in age, it is because they have not been educated, meaning they do not have experience. They do not have experience. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) warned about the young in age, the young in age, because the young in age do not have insight or experience in matters. You find, for example, that they rush forward where they should not rush forward, and hold back where they should not hold back. They do not have focus. Yes.
The questioner : In the previous hadithSahih al-Bukhari 59, the Hour, which is the Day of Resurrection, has signs. If the trust is abandoned and these signs have not begun, meaning they have not occurred, which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) linked the matters of the Hour to, does the second one necessarily mean the destruction of people?
The Shaykh : Wait for the Hour, meaning with its signs, with its signs.
The questioner : As soon as it happens...
The Shaykh : Yes, wait for the Hour, just as Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said:[Muhammad 47:18] The intended meaning of the coming of the Hour may be with its signs that precede it, the immediate signs.
The questioner : A long time.
The Shaykh : You do not know, you do not know. These are the major signs of the Hour; they come like a necklace whose string has been untied, meaning they come in rapid succession. Look, the Dajjal remains...
The questioner : Forty days.
The Shaykh : Forty days, then Isa descends, and then Ya'juj and Ma'juj come, quickly.
The Hour will not begin until
لا تقوم الساعة حتى يلتمس العلم عند الأصاغرThe Shaykh : Both, because those who are young in knowledge do not have complete knowledge, and those who are young in age do not have experience.

The questioner : In the previous hadith
When honesty is lost, then wait for the Hour (Doomsday).
إذا ضيعت الأمانة ، فانتظر الساعة ،The Shaykh : Wait for the Hour, meaning with its signs, with its signs.
The questioner : As soon as it happens...
The Shaykh : Yes, wait for the Hour, just as Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said:
Then do they await except that the Hour should come upon them unexpectedly? But already there have come [some of] its indications. Then what good to them, when it has come, will be their remembrance?
فهل ينظرون إلا الساعة أن تأتيهم بغتة فقد جاء أشراطها ، فأنى لهم إذا جاءتهم ذكراهمThe questioner : A long time.
The Shaykh : You do not know, you do not know. These are the major signs of the Hour; they come like a necklace whose string has been untied, meaning they come in rapid succession. Look, the Dajjal remains...
The questioner : Forty days.
The Shaykh : Forty days, then Isa descends, and then Ya'juj and Ma'juj come, quickly.
