It is narrated from Shaddad bin Abi Ammar that Awf bin Malik said, "O plague, take me towards yourself as well." People said, "Did you not hear the saying of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, that the longer a Muslim lives, the more it is a source of goodness for him?" He replied, "Why not, but I fear six things: the leadership of fools, the selling of judgments, the shedding of blood, severing of kinship ties, the abundance of police, and such an incident that people make the Qur'an like a flute."
