أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُرَيْجُ بْنُ يُونُسَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا تَرَكْتُ بَعْدِي فِتْنَةً أَخْوَفَ عَلَى الرِّجَالِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ»

Abu Ya'la informed us, saying: Abu Khaythamah narrated to us, saying: Waki' narrated to us from Sufyan from Mansur from Rib'i ibn Hirash from a man from the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: 'People are like mines of gold and silver; the best of them in the days of ignorance are the best of them in Islam when they understand.'
