وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: " إِنَّ اللَّهَ ﵎ قَالَ: لَقَدْ خَلَقْتُ خَلْقًا أَلْسِنَتُهُمْ أَحْلَى مِنَ السُّكَّرِ وَقُلُوبُهُمْ أَمَرُّ مِنَ الصَّبْرِ فَبِي حَلَفْتُ لَأُتِيحَنَّهُمْ فِتْنَةً تَدَعُ الْحَلِيمَ فِيهِمْ حَيْرَانَ فَبِي يغترّون أم عليَّ يجترؤونَ؟ " رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ وَقَالَ: هَذَا حديثٌ غَرِيب
Sayyiduna Ibn Umar رضي الله عنه narrated that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Surely, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted says, ‘I have created such creatures whose tongues are more sweet than sugar but whose hearts are more bitter than aloes. I swear by Myself that I shall certainly involve them in a trial whereby the for bearing among them will be bewildered. So, are they arrogant before Me? Or (are they) daring against Me?’” [2]
