حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ الْعرْزَمِيَّ، عَنْ أَبِي عَلِيٍّ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي كَاهِلٍ قَالَ: خَطَبَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيُّ فَقَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا هَذَا، ، الشِّرْكَ؛ فَإِنَّهُ أَخْفَى مِنْ دَبِيبِ النَّمْلِ. فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ حَزْنٍ، وَقَيْسُ بْنُ المُضَارِبِ فَقَالَا: وَاللهِ لَتَخْرُجَنَّ مِمَّا قُلْتَ أَوْ لَنَأْتِيَنَّ عُمَرَ مَأْذُونٌ لَنَا أَوْ غَيْرُ مَأْذُونٍ. قَالَ: بَلْ أَخْرُجُ مِمَّا قُلْتُ، خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَقَالَ: " أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا هَذَا الشِّرْكَ؛ فَإِنَّهُ أَخْفَى مِنْ دَبِيبِ النَّمْلِ ". فَقَالَ لَهُ: مَنْ شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ وَكَيْفَ نَتَّقِيهِ، وَهُوَ أَخْفَى مِنْ دَبِيبِ النَّمْلِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: قُولُوا: " اللهُمَّ إِنَّا نَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ أَنْ نُشْرِكَ بِكَ شَيْئًا نَعْلَمُهُ، وَنَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا (١) لَا نَعْلَمُ " (٢)، ،

English translation
Abu Ali says that once Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) addressed us in a sermon and said: "O people! Beware of this shirk (associating partners with Allah), for its creeping is lighter than the creeping of an ant." Upon hearing this, Abdullah bin Hazn and Qais bin Muzarib stood up and said: "By Allah! Either you will provide a reference for your statement, or we will go to Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), whether we are permitted or not." He said: "I will give you its reference. One day, the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) addressed us in a sermon and said: 'O people! Beware of this shirk, for its creeping is lighter than the creeping of an ant.' Someone asked: 'O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), when its creeping is lighter than the creeping of an ant, then how can we protect ourselves from it?' The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'Keep saying: O Allah! We seek refuge in You from knowingly associating anything with You, and we seek Your forgiveness for what we do not know.'"
