وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، ثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ سَمِعَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
إِنِّي لَسْتُ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ بَعْدِي مُؤْمِنًا مُوقِنًا، وَلَا كَافِرًا مُعْلِنًا، فَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُ الْمُوقِنُ فَيَحْجِزُهُ إِيمَانُهُ، وَأَمَّا الْمُعْلِنُ فَبِكُفْرِهِ، وَلَكِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ بَعْدِي عَالِمًا لِسَانُهُ، جَاهِلًا قَلْبُهُ، يَقُولُ مَا تَعْرِفُونَ وَيَعْمَلُ مَا تُنْكِرُونَ

✧ After me, I do not fear for you a believer who is certain in faith, nor an open disbeliever. As for the believer who is certain, his faith restrains him; and as for the open disbeliever, his disbelief is clear. But I fear for you after me a man whose tongue is knowledgeable but whose heart is ignorant—he says what you recognize and does what you disapprove of.
