وَعَنْهُ أَنَّهُ بَكَى فَقِيلَ لَهُ: مَا يُبْكِيكَ؟ قَالَ: شَيْءٌ سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فَذَكَرْتُهُ فَأَبْكَانِي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُول: «أَتَخوَّفُ على أمتِي الشِّرْكِ وَالشَّهْوَةِ الْخَفِيَّةِ» قَالَ: قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتُشْرِكُ أُمَّتُكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ أَمَا إِنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْبُدُونَ شَمْسًا وَلَا قَمَرًا وَلَا حَجَرًا وَلَا وَثَنًا وَلَكِنْ يُرَاؤُونَ بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ. وَالشَّهْوَةُ الْخَفِيَّةُ أَنْ يُصْبِحَ أَحَدُهُمْ صَائِمًا فَتَعْرِضَ لَهُ شَهْوَةٌ مِنْ شَهَوَاتِهِ فَيَتْرُكَ صَوْمَهُ» . رَوَاهُ الْبَيْهَقِيّ فِي «شعب الْإِيمَان»
Shaddad bin Aws Narrated from:
Sayyiduna Shaddad ibn Aws رضي الله عنه is reported to have wept (once). So, he was asked, "What makes you weep?" He said, "Something that I had heard from Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم. I remembered it and it made me weep. I had heard Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم say, 'I fear for my ummah (light) polytheism and concealed passion.'"He added, "I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, will your ummah resort to polytheism after your death?' He said, 'Yes! Know, they will not worship the sun, not the moon, not a stone and not an idol. But, they will show off their (pious) deeds and indulge in unseen passion in that one of them might begin the morning with a fast but, when a passion of various kinds of passions overcomes him, he gives up fasting.'"
