Selected Sayings of The Holy Prophet of Islam — Page 61
85. Ali, God be pleased with him, relates that the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: "A time will come when nothing will remain of Islam except its name and nothing will remain of the Qur'an except its script.

Their 'ulama' (religious scholars) will be the worst of creatures under the canopy of the heavens. Evil plots will originate from them and to them will they return. " (Mishkat) 62
