حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْقُدُّوسِ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْمُخَارِقِ زُهَيْرُ بْنُ سَالِمٍأَنَّ عُمَيْرَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ كَانَ وَلَّاهُ عُمَرُ حِمْصَ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ عُمَرُ يَعْنِي لِكَعْبٍ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ أَمْرٍ فَلا تَكْتُمْنِي قَالَ وَاللهِ لَا أَكْتُمُكَ شَيْئًا أَعْلَمُهُ قَالَ
قَالَ عُمَرُ: ( يَعْنِي: لِكَعْبٍ ) إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ أَمْرٍ فَلَا تَكْتُمْنِي ؟ قَالَ: وَاللهِ لَا أَكْتُمُكَ شَيْئًا أَعْلَمُهُ، قَالَ: مَا أَخْوَفُ شَيْءٍ تَخَوَّفُهُ عَلَى أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ ؟ قَالَ: أَئِمَّةً مُضِلِّينَ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: صَدَقْتَ، قَدْ أَسَرَّ ذَلِكَ إِلَيَّ وَأَعْلَمَنِيهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ.
