Ayyub reported: Abu Qilabah, may Allah have mercy on him, said, “The example of the people of whims is that of the hypocrites. Allah Almighty mentioned the hypocrites with different words and deeds, the summary of which is misguidance. The people of whims disagree over their whims, but they agree upon the sword.”

عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي قِلابَةَ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ مَثَلُ أَهْلِ الأَهْوَاءِ مَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِينَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى ذَكَرَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ بِقَوْلٍ مُخْتَلِفٍ وَعَمِلٍ مُخْتَلِفٍ وَجِمَاعُ ذَلِكَ الضُّلالُ وَإِنَّ أَهْلَ الأَهْوَاءِ اخْتَلَفُوا فِي الأَهْوَاءِ وَاجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى السَّيْفِ
