By Allah, evil has spread, فَقَدْ - وَاللهِ - عَمَّ الفَسَادُ، | IlmTest

By Allah, evil has spread,
فَقَدْ - وَاللهِ - عَمَّ الفَسَادُ،

al-bidaʿ (ie: innovation) is now apparent,
وَظَهَرَتِ البِدَعُ،

Sunnah is now hidden,
وَخَفِيَتِ السُّنَنُ،

And there is reduction in saying the truth.
وَقَلَّ القَوَّالُ بِالْحَقِّ،

If a scholar should speak with truthfulness and sincerity, he would be opposed by many scholars of his time,
بَلْ لَوْ نَطَقَ العَالِمُ بَصِدْقٍ وَإِخْلاصٍ لَعَارَضَهُ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ عُلَمَاءِ الوَقْتِ،

They will detest him and declare him ignorant, la ḥawla wa la quwwata illa billāh (ie: there is no movement or power except through Allah’s will)."
وَلَمَقَتُوهُ وَجَهَلُوْهُ - فَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللهِ -.
