عُلَمَاؤُهُمْ شَرٌّ ... مِنْ عِنْدِهِمْ تَخْرُجُ الْفِتْنَةُ is a stern warning against abusing religious authority through corruption and misleading others. It does not prove that every scholar, or any particular present-day group, deserves that description.
تَخْرُجُ means “emerges” and تَعُودُ means “returns.” The phrases مِنْ عِنْدِهِمْ and فِيهِمْ describe where trouble arises and returns.
Example: Responsible teachers avoid issuing rulings without evidence, treat disagreements fairly, and use learning to serve people rather than gain improper influence.
