أَخْبَرَنَا غَسَّانُ الْكُوفِيُّ أَبُو بِشْرٍ الْأَسَدِيُّ: وَكَانَ جَلِيسَ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ، ثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي فَرْوَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، قَالَ:
قَالَ رَجُلٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي حَلْقَةٍ: أَيُّكُمْ يُحَدِّثُنِي عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَدِيثًا ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ ؓ: أَنَا، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: لَسْتُ أَخَافُ عَلَى أُمَّتِي مُؤْمِنًا، وَلَا كَافِرًا، أَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُ فَيَمْنَعُهُ إِيمَانُهُ، وَأَمَّا الْكَافِرُ فَيَمْنَعُهُ كُفْرُهُ، وَلَكِنَّ رَجُلًا بَيْنَهُمَا يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ، حَتَّى إِذَا ذَلِقَ بِهِ يَتَأَوَّلُهُ عَلَى غَيْرِ تَأْوِيلِهِ، فَقَالَ مَا تَعْلَمُونَ، وَعَمِلَ مَا تُنْكِرُونَ فَضَلَّ وَأَضَلَّ

✧ A man in Madinah said in a gathering: 'Which of you will narrate to me a hadith from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' Ali ؓ said to him: 'I will. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "I do not fear for my Ummah a believer or a disbeliever. As for the believer, his faith will restrain him, and as for the disbeliever, his disbelief will restrain him. But I fear for a man between them who recites the Quran until, when it becomes smooth on his tongue, he interprets it in a way other than its true interpretation. He says, 'What do you know?' and does what you condemn, and thus he goes astray and leads others astray."'
