السيوطي:٢-٣١٤١b

"عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ (حُدَيْرٍ) أَنَّ عمر بْنَ الخَطَّابِ قَالَ: يَا زِيَادَ بْنَ حُدَيْرٍ! هَلْ تَدْرِى مَا يَهْدِمُ الإِسْلَامَ؟ إِمَامُ ضَلَالَةِ، وَجَدالُ مُنَافِقٍ بِالقُرآنِ، وَدَيْن يَقْطَعُ أَعْناقَكُمْ، وَأخْشَى عَلَيْكُمْ زَلَّةَ العَالِم فَإِنِ اهْتَدَى فَلَا تُقلِّدُوه دِينَكُمْ، وَإِنْ زَلَّ فَلَا تَقْطَعُوا مِنْهُ إِيَاسَكُمْ، فَإِنَّ العَالِم يَزِلُّ ثُمَّ يتَوُبُ، وَمَنْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ غِنَاهُ فِى قَلبِهَ فَقَدْ أَفَلحَ".
