"Indeed Allah, Most High, said:'I have created creatures whose tongues are sweeter than honey and their hearts are more bitter than aloes. So by Me, I swear to abase them with a Fitnah, leaving them utterly devoid of reason. Is it Me whom they try to delude, or it is against Me whom they conspire?'"  

الترمذي:٢٤٠٥حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الدَّارِمِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ أَخْبَرَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ أَخْبَرَنَا حَمْزَةُ بْنُ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى قَالَ لَقَدْ خَلَقْتُ خَلْقًا أَلْسِنَتُهُمْ أَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ وَقُلُوبُهُمْ أَمَرُّ مِنَ الصَّبِرِ فَبِي حَلَفْتُ لأُتِيحَنَّهُمْ فِتْنَةً تَدَعُ الْحَلِيمَ مِنْهُمْ حَيْرَانًا فَبِي يَغْتَرُّونَ أَمْ عَلَىَّ يَجْتَرِءُونَ  

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ

"إِنَّ الله تَعَالى قَال: لَقَدْ خَلَقْت خَلقًا أَلْسِنتُهُمْ أحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَل، وَقُلوبُهُم أمَرُّ مِنَ الصَّبْرِ، فَبِي حَلَفْتُ: لأُتيحنَّهُم فِتْنَة تَدَع الْحَليمَ مْنُهمْ حَيرانَ، فَبِي يَغْتَرُّونَ، أمْ عَليَّ يَجْتَرِئُونَ؟ ! ".

"يَخْرُجُ فِى آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ رِجَالٌ يَخْتِلُونَ الدُّنْيَا بِالدِّينِ، يَلبَسُونَ لِلنَّاسِ جُلُودَ الضَّأنِ مِنَ اللِّين، أَلْسِنَتُهُمْ أَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ، وَقُلوبُهُمْ قُلُوبُ الذِّئابِ، يَقُولُ اللَّه: أَبِى يَغْتَرُّونَ أَمْ عَلَىَّ يَجْتَرِئُونَ، فَبِى حَلَفْتُ لأَبْعَثَن عَلَى أُولَئِكَ مِنْهُمْ فِتْنَة تَدَعُ الْحَلِيمَ مِنْهُمْ حَيرَانَ".
