[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."  

الطبراني:١٤٩٤٥حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زُغْبَةَ ثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ ثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي قَبِيلٍٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ أَشَدَّ مَا أَخَافُ أَوْ أَخْوَفَ مَا أَخَافُ عَلَى أُمَّتِي اللَّبَنُ وَالْكِتَابُ» فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا بَالُ اللَّبَنِ؟ قَالَ «يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الْجَمَاعَاتِ وَيَتْرُكُونَ الْجُمُعَاتِ» قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا بَالُ الْكِتَابِ؟ قَالَ «يُفْتَحُ لِأَقْوَامٍ فَيَقْرَءُونَهُ فَيُجَادِلُونَ بِهِ»

[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
