" عن أبى حازم قال: قال عمر بن الخطاب مَا أَخَافُ عَلَى هَذَا الأَمْرِ إِلَّا مِنْ أَحَدِ رَجُلَيْنِ، لاَ أَخَاف عليه مُؤْمِنًا؛ لأنَّه قَد اسْتَبْقَاهُ إِيمَانُهُ، وَلاَ فَاسِقًا بَيِّنًا فِسْقُهُ، وَلكِنَّى أَخَافُ عَلَيه رجلًا يَأخُذُ الْقُرآنَ فَيُسْرعُ حِذقَهُ، فإِذَا أذلَقَه بِلسانِهِ، وَأُفْرغَ إِفْرَاغًا ابْتَدرَ مَجْلِسَهُ وَاسْتَمْتَعَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ تَأَوَّلَهُ عَلَى غَيرِ تَأوِيلِه".

"On the authority of Abu Hazim, who said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab said: I do not fear for this affair except from one of two men. I do not fear for it from a believer, for his faith has kept him steady, nor from a clearly sinful wrongdoer, whose sin is plain. Rather, I fear for it from a man who takes up the Qur'an and quickly acquires its skill; when he has been sharpened by his tongue and poured out in speech, he hastens to his assembly, enjoys its benefits, and then interprets it other than as it was meant."
