"عَنْ عبد اللَّه بنِ حكيمٍ قال: كان عمر يقول: إِنَّ أصدقَ القيلِ قول اللَّه، أَلَا وإِنَّ أحْسَنَ الهَدْى هدىُ مُحمدٍ، وَشَرُّ الأمورِ مُحدثَاتُها، وكُلُّ محدثةٍ ضلالةٌ؛ أَلَا وإِنَّ النَّاسَ بِخْير ما أخذوا العلمَ عَنْ أَكابِرهِم، ولَمْ يَقُمْ الصغيرُ عَلَى الكبيرِ فإذَا قَام الصغيرُ على الكبير فُقِدَ".

"On the authority of 'Abd Allah ibn Hakim, who said: 'Umar used to say: Indeed the truest speech is the speech of Allah. Beware! The best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad ﷺ, and the worst of matters are their innovations, and every innovation is misguidance. Beware! Indeed the people remain in good as long as they take knowledge from their elders, and the young do not rise against the elder. When the young rise against the elder, it is lost."
