Misleading imāms

Abū Dharr (radiyallāhu ‘anh) narrated that while he was walking with Rasūlullāh, he (sallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said three times, “Indeed, there is something I fear for my Ummah more than the Dajjāl.” Abū Dharr asked him, “What is this that you fear for your Ummah more than the Dajjāl?” He responded, “The misleading imāms.” [Sahīh: Reported by Imām Ahmad on the authority of Abū Dharr.]
