وَعَنْ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ - وَكَانَ عُمَرُ وَلَّاهُ حِمْصَ - قَالَ : قَالَ عُمَرُ لِكَعْبٍ : إِنِّي سَائِلُكَ عَنْ أَمْرٍ فَلَا تَكْتُمْنِي قَالَ : وَاللَّهِ مَا أَكْتُمُكَ شَيْئًا أَعْلَمُهُ قَالَ : مَا أَخْوَفُ مَا تَخَافُ عَلَى أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ؟ قَالَ : أَئِمَّةً مُضِلِّينَ . قَالَ عُمَرُ : صَدَقْتَ ، قَدْ أَسَرَّ ذَلِكَ إِلَيَّ وَأَعْلَمَنِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .

Umayr bin Sa'd, whom Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) had appointed governor of Hims, narrates: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Ka'b (al-Ahbar): "I am going to ask you about something, and you must not hide it from me." He said: "By Allah! I will not hide from you anything that I know." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "What do you fear most for the Ummah of Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)?" Ka'b (al-Ahbar) replied: "Misleading rulers." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "You have spoken the truth. The Prophet told me about this, and he told it to me in confidence."
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
