"عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ حَدِيرٍ الأَسَدِىِّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بن الخَطَّابِ يقُولُ: ثَلاثٌ أَخَافُهُنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ وَبِهنَّ يُهْدَمُ الإِسْلامُ: زَلَّةُ عَالِمٍ، وَرَجُلٌ عَهِدَ النَّاسُ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمًا (فَاتَّبَعُوهُ عَلى زلَّةٍ (وَرَجُلٌ مُنافِقٌ) قَرَأ الْقُرْآنَ (فَمَا) أَسْقَطَ مِنْهُ أَلفًا وَلا وَاوًا أَضَلَّ النَّاسَ عَنِ الهُدَى (إِذْ) كَان أَجْدَلَهُمْ، وَأَئمَّةٌ مُضِلُّونَ".

"Ziyad ibn Hudayr al-Asadi said: I heard 'Umar ibn al-Khattab say: There are three things I fear for you, and by them Islam is demolished: the slip of a scholar; a man whom people regard as a source of knowledge, so they follow him in his error; and a hypocrite who recites the Quran, and does not drop from it an alif or a waw, yet misleads people from guidance, since he is the most eloquent of them; and misguiding imams."
