أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ حَازِمٍ حَدَّثَنِي عَمِّي جَرِيرُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ تُبَيْعًا يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ كَعْبٍ قَالَ
«إِنِّي لَأَجِدُ نَعْتَ قَوْمٍ يَتَعَلَّمُونَ لِغَيْرِ الْعَمَلِ وَيَتَفَقَّهُونَ لِغَيْرِ الْعِبَادَةِ وَيَطْلُبُونَ الدُّنْيَا بِعَمَلِ الْآخِرَةِ وَيَلْبَسُونَ جُلُودَ الضَّأْنِ وَقُلُوبُهُمْ أَمَرُّ مِنَ الصَّبْرِ فَبِي يَغْتَرُّونَ أَوْ إِيَّايَ يُخَادِعُونَ؟ فَحَلَفْتُ بِي لَأُتِيحَنَّ لَهُمْ فِتْنَةً تَتْرُكُ الْحَلِيمَ فِيهَا حَيْرَانَ»

✧ I verily find the description of a people who learn for other than acting, and acquire understanding for other than worship, and seek the world by the work of the Hereafter, and wear the skins of sheep while their hearts are more bitter than aloes. Is it in Me that they are deceived, or is it Me that they would beguile? I swear by Myself that I will surely bring upon them such a trial as will leave the forbearing among them bewildered.
