I am going to ask you about something, so do not hide it from me. [Kaʿb said: By Allah I will not hide anything I know. ‘Umar said: What do you fear most for the ummah of Muhammad ﷺ? He said: Misleading leaders. ʿUmar said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told me about that in private and informed me of it.
