عن عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاصي قال سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم يقول : ان أكثر منافقي أمتي قراؤها

Abdullah bin ‘Amr narrates that RasuluLLAH said “Most of the hypocrites of my Ummah will be its Quraa’* (scholars)”
Reference: Masnad Ahmed bin Hanbal, Sh’uaib Arna’oot classified it as ‘Hasan’

*The word Qur’aa was used for scholars at that time, because the one well versed in Qur’an was the scholar. Nowadays, reciters fall in a different category and scholars in a different. This wasn’t the case at that time.
