Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1865 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: What I fear
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، قَالَ : نَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ قَالَ : نَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ -رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ- قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- : أَكْثَرُ مَا أَتَخَوَّفُ عَلَى أُمَّتِي مِنْ بَعْدِي : رَجُلٌ يَتَأَوَّلُ الْقُرْآنَ ، يَضَعُهُ عَلَى غَيْرِ مَوَاضِعِهِ ، وَرَجُلٌ يَرَى أَنَّهُ أَحَقُّ بِهَذَا الْأَمْرِ مِنْ غَيْرِهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What I fear most for my Ummah after me is a man who will interpret the Qur'an (wrongly) and apply it to other than its proper places, and a man who will think that he is more entitled to this matter (the caliphate and authority) than others."
