Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 8715 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Beware
وَبِهِ : حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ قَالَ : قَالَ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : إِيَّاكُمْ وَثَلَاثَةً : زَلَّةَ عَالِمٍ ، وَجِدَالَ مُنَافِقٍ ، وَدُنْيَا تَقْطَعُ أَعْنَاقَكُمْ . فَأَمَّا زَلَّةُ عَالِمٍ فَإِنِ اهْتَدَى فَلَا تُقَلِّدُوهُ دِينَكُمْ ، وَإِنْ زَلَّ فَلَا تَقْطَعُوا عَنْهُ آمَالَكُمْ . وَأَمَّا جِدَالُ مُنَافِقٍ بِالْقُرْآنِ ، فَإِنَّ لِلْقُرْآنِ مَنَارًا كَمَنَارِ الطَّرِيقِ ، فَمَا عَرَفْتُمْ فَخُذُوهُ ، وَمَا أَنْكَرْتُمْ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى عَالِمِهِ . وَأَمَّا دُنْيَا تَقْطَعُ أَعْنَاقَكُمْ ، فَمَنْ جَعَلَ اللهُ فِي قَلْبِهِ غِنًى ؛ فَهُوَ الْغَنِيُّ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Beware of three things: the slip of a scholar, the arguing of a hypocrite, and a world that cuts your necks. As for the slip of a scholar: if he is rightly guided, (even then) do not follow him blindly in your religion, and if he slips, do not cut off your hopes in him. As for the hypocrite's arguing with the Qur'an: the Qur'an has clear landmarks like the landmarks of a road, so whatever you recognise, take it, and whatever you do not recognise, refer it back to the one who knows it. And as for a world that cuts your necks: whoever Allah has placed contentment in his heart, he is the truly rich one."
