Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 4-1198b
"عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ: خَطَبَ عُمَرُ الناسَ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ أَخْوَفَ مَا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُم أَنْ يُؤخَذَ الْمُسْلِمُ الْبَرِئُ عنْدَ الله فَيُشَاط لَحمُهُ كمَا يُشَاط لَحمُ الْجَزُورِ فَيُقالُ: عَاص وَلَيْسَ بعَاصٍ، فَقَامَ عَلى تَحتَ الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَالَ: وَمَتَى ذَاكَ يَا أَمِيرَ المُؤْمِنينَ؟ وَمَا تَشْتَدّ الْبَلِيَّةُ، وَتَظهرُ الْحَميةُ، وَتُسْبَى الذّريةُ، وَتَدُقُّهُمُ الْفِتَنُ كمَا تَدُقُّ الرَّحَى ثُفْلها، وَكَمَا تَأكلُ النارُ الخطب فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ: وَمَتَى يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ يا عَلى؟ قَالَ: إِذَا تَفَقَهُوا لِغَيْرِ الدِّين وَتَعلَمُوا لِغَيْرِ الْعَمَلِ، وَطَلَبُوا الدُّنْيَا بِعَمَلِ الآخِرَةِ".

“On the authority of Al-Hasan, who said: 'Umar addressed the people and said: What I fear most for you is that a Muslim who is innocent before Allah will be seized and his flesh will be cut off as the flesh of a slaughtered camel is cut off, and it will be said: He is a sinner, though he is not a sinner. 'Ali stood beneath the pulpit and said: When will that be, O Commander of the Believers? When the calamity intensifies, zeal appears, the children are taken captive, and the trials crush them as the millstone crushes its grain, and as the fire consumes firewood. 'Umar said to him: When will that happen, O 'Ali? He said: When they gain understanding for other than the religion, learn for other than action, and seek the world through the deeds of the Hereafter.”
