The science of Hadith and its scholars: most of them do not understand, nor do they care about knowing the Hadith or practicing it; rather, the authentic and the fabricated are the same to them.
فَغَالِبُهُمْ most of them
This fronts fa- onto a noun 'most/majority' with 'them' attached - 'their majority'. The fa- here begins the comment about the topic just named, a resumptive 'as for them, most...'; it does not translate as 'so' in English. The noun heads an 'of' link with the attached 'them', meaning 'most of them', and serves as subject of the negative verb to come.
