As Salaam 'Alaikum,
I remember reading a hadith recently and couldn't find it again. I'd really like to be able to locate it so that I know what the reference is. The wording goes something to the effect of "In our times, there are few reciters (qurrah) and many people of understanding. Many people want to give wealth but few are there to receive it. In later times, there will be many qurrah and few people of understanding. Few people will want to give wealth but there will be many who want to receive it." I *think* that there was also a phrase in the first part that said, "In these times, action is better than knowledge" and in the second part "In those times, knowledge will be better than action."
If someone could help, I'd really appreciate it! Jazkaullah Khair
