حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، ثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، ثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، ثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
إِنِّي لَا أَتَخَوَّفُ عَلَى أُمَّتِي مُؤْمِنًا وَلَا مُشْرِكًا، أَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُ فَيَحْجِزُهُ إِيمَانُهُ، وَأَمَّا الْمُشْرِكُ فَيَقْمَعُهُ كُفْرُهُ، وَلَكِنِّي أَتَخَوَّفُ عَلَيْهِمْ مُنَافِقًا، عَالِمَ اللِّسَانِ، يَقُولُ مَا يَعْرِفُونَ، وَيَعْمَلُ مَا يُنْكِرُونَ ".

✧ I do not fear for my nation a believer or a polytheist. As for the believer, his faith restrains him; and as for the polytheist, his disbelief humbles him. But I fear for them a hypocrite with a knowledgeable tongue, who says what they recognize and does what they reject.
