560 - وَ سُئِلَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنْ قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: « أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ أَنَّا نَأْتِى ٱلْأَرْضَ نَنقُصُهَا مِنْ أَطْرَافِهَا ۚ وَٱللَّهُ يَحْكُمُ لَا مُعَقِّبَ لِحُكْمِهِۦ ۚ وَهُوَ سَرِيعُ ٱلْحِسَابِ » فَقَالَ «فَقْدُ اَلْعُلَمَاءِ.
Hadith.560 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq 
was asked about the meaning of Allah’s (swt) words:
"Do they not see that We are advancing upon the land, reducing it from its borders? And Allah (swt) judges; there is no adjuster of His ruling, and He is swift in account." (Surah Ar-Ra’d 13:41).
Imam replied: "The loss of the scholars."
