[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I fear for my Ummah (Islamic nation) from the book and milk." It was said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the matter with the book?" He said, "The hypocrites will study it and then debate with the believers using it." It was then asked, "And what is the matter with milk?" He said, "There will be people who love milk, and they will separate themselves from the gatherings and abandon the congregations."  

أحمد:١٧٣١٨حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قَبِيلٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ يَقُولُ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّمَا أَخَافُ عَلَى أُمَّتِي الْكِتَابَ وَاللَّبَنَ قَالَ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا بَالُالْكِتَابِ؟ قَالَ يَتَعَلَّمُهُ الْمُنَافِقُونَ ثُمَّ يُجَادِلُونَ بِهِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا فَقِيلَ وَمَا بَالُ اللَّبَنِ؟ قَالَ أُنَاسٌ يُحِبُّونَ اللَّبَنَ فَيَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الْجَمَاعَاتِ وَيَتْرُكُونَ الْجُمُعَاتِ

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , say, "The destruction of my Ummah will come through the book (i.e., misinterpretation of the Quran) and milk." They asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the book and milk?" He replied, "They will learn the Quran and interpret it in a way that is not revealed by Allah, and they will love dairy products (i.e., indulge in worldly pleasures) and abandon congregational prayers and coming together (for the sake of Allah)."  

أحمد:١٧٤١٥حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي قَبِيلٍ قَالَ لَمْ أَسْمَعْ مِنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ إِلَّا هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ وَحَدَّثَنِيهِ يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْخَيْرِ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ هَلَاكُ أُمَّتِي فِي الْكِتَابِ وَاللَّبَنِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا الْكِتَابُ وَاللَّبَنُ؟ قَالَ يَتَعَلَّمُونَ الْقُرْآنَ فَيَتَأَوَّلُونَهُ عَلَى غَيْرِ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللهُ وَيُحِبُّونَ اللَّبَنَ فَيَدَعُونَ الْجَمَاعَاتِ وَالْجُمَعَ وَيَبْدُونَ

[Machine] I heard Uqbah bin Amir say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, the thing that I fear the most for my Ummah is milk and the Book." It was said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the matter with milk?" He said, "They leave gatherings and abandon congregations." It was said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the matter with the Book?" He said, "It will be opened for certain people, and they will recite it and engage in argumentation with it."
