Abu Hurairah narrated that he heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) say: “Whatever I forbid to you, refrain from it, and whatever I order you, do as much of it as you can. Those who came before you were only destroyed because of their excessive questions and differences with their Prophets.”

حَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى التُّجِيبِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ ، قَالاَ : كَانَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ يُحَدِّثُ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : مَا نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْهُ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ , وَمَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِهِ فَافْعَلُوا مِنْهُ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ ، فَإِنَّمَا أَهْلَكَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ , كَثْرَةُ مَسَائِلِهِمْ ، وَاخْتِلاَفُهُمْ عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ.

It was narrated from ‘Amir bin Sa’d that his father said: ‘The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: ‘The greatest sinner of the Muslims among the Muslims is the one who asks about something that was not forbidden to the Muslims, but it became forbidden to them because of his asking.”’

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّ أَعْظَمَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ جُرْمًا ، مَنْ سَأَلَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ لَمْ يُحَرَّمْ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، فَحُرِّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ مَسْأَلَتِهِ.

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: “The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) heard something about his Companions, and he delivered a Khutbah and said: ‘Paradise and Hell were shown to me, and I have never seen good and evil as (I did) today. If you knew what I know you would laugh little and weep much.”’ He said: “There was never a day harder for the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) than that day. They covered their heads and wept. Then ‘Umar stood up and said: ‘We are pleased with Allah as our Lord, Islam as our religion, and Muhammad as our Prophet.’ That man stood up and said: ‘Who is my father?’ He (s.a.w) said: ‘Your father is so-and-so.’ Then the Verse: ‘O you who believe! Ask not about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble. was revealed.”

حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ السُّلَمِيُّ ، وَيَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ اللُّؤْلُؤِيُّ ، وَأَلْفَاظُهُمْ مُتَقَارِبَةٌ ، قَالَ مَحْمُودٌ : حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ ، وقَالَ الآخَرَانِ : أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ أَنَسٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : بَلَغَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ أَصْحَابِهِ شَيْءٌ فَخَطَبَ فَقَالَ : عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ ، فَلَمْ أَرَ كَالْيَوْمِ فِي الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ ، وَلَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلاً وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا , قَالَ : فَمَا أَتَى عَلَى أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمٌ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُ ، قَالَ : غَطَّوْا رُؤُوسَهُمْ وَلَهُمْ خَنِينٌ ، قَالَ : فَقَامَ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ : رَضِينَا بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا ، وَبِالإِسْلاَمِ دِينًا ، وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيًّا , قَالَ : فَقَامَ ذَاكَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ : مَنْ أَبِي ؟ قَالَ : أَبُوكَ فُلاَنٌ , فَنَزَلَتْ : {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ تَسْأَلُوا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ إِنْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْ}.

Anas bin Malik said: “A man said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, who is my father?’ He said: ‘Your father is so-and-so.’ Then the Verse: ‘O you who believe! Ask not about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble. But if you ask about them while the Qur’an is being revealed, they will be made plain to you. Allah has forgiven that, and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Forbearing. was revealed.”

وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْمَرِ بْنِ رِبْعِيٍّ الْقَيْسِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، أَخْبَرَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، مَنْ أَبِي ؟ قَالَ : أَبُوكَ فُلاَنٌ وَنَزَلَتْ: {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ تَسْأَلُوا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ إِنْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْ} تَمَامَ الآيَةِ.

Anas bin Malik narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) came out when the sun had passed its zenith, and led them in Zuhr prayer. When he had said the Salam he stood on the Minbar and mentioned the Hour, and said that there would be momentous events before it, then he said: “Whoever would like to ask me about anything, let him ask me, for by Allah, you will not ask me about anything but I will tell you about it, so long as I am standing here.” Anas bin Malik said: “By Allah, the people wept a great deal when they heard that from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). Th Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) often used to say ‘Ask me.’ ‘Abdullah bin Hudhafah stood up and said: ‘Who is my father, O Messenger of Allah?’ He said: ‘Your father is Hudhafah.’ When the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) had said ‘Ask me’ repeatedly, ‘Umar knelt down and said: ‘We are pleased with Allah as our Lord, Islam as our religion, and Muhammad is our Messenger.’ The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) fell silent when ‘Umar said that. Than the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: ‘Hard times are at hand, by the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad. Paradise and Hell were shown to me just now, on this wall, and I have never seen good and evil as (I did) today.”’ Ibn Shihab said: “Ubaidullah bin ‘Abdullah bin ‘Utbah told me: ‘Umm ‘Abdullah bin Hudhafah said to ‘Abdullah bin Hudhafah: “I have never heard of a son more disrespectful than you. How can you be sure that your mother did not commit some of the sins committed by the women of the Jahiliyyah, thus you would have exposed her before the people?” ‘Abdullah bin Hudhafah said: “By Allah, if he had said that a black slave was my father I would have attributed myself to him.”

وحَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ حَرْمَلَةَ بْنِ عِمْرَانَ التُّجِيبِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، خَرَجَ حِينَ زَاغَتِ الشَّمْسُ ، فَصَلَّى لَهُمْ صَلاَةَ الظُّهْرِ ، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَامَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ ، فَذَكَرَ السَّاعَةَ ، وَذَكَرَ أَنَّ قَبْلَهَا أُمُورًا عِظَامًا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَسْأَلَنِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَلْيَسْأَلْنِي عَنْهُ ، فَوَاللَّهِ لاَ تَسْأَلُونَنِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلاَّ أَخْبَرْتُكُمْ بِهِ ، مَا دُمْتُ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا. قَالَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ: فَأَكْثَرَ النَّاسُ الْبُكَاءَ حِينَ سَمِعُوا ذَلِكَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَكْثَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَقُولَ : سَلُونِي فَقَامَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ حُذَافَةَ فَقَالَ: مَنْ أَبِي ؟ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، قَالَ : أَبُوكَ حُذَافَةُ فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ أَنْ يَقُولَ : سَلُونِي بَرَكَ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ: رَضِينَا بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا ، وَبِالإِسْلاَمِ دِينًا ، وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولاً ، قَالَ فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ قَالَ عُمَرُ ذَلِكَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَوْلَى ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ آنِفًا ، فِي عُرْضِ هَذَا الْحَائِطِ ، فَلَمْ أَرَ كَالْيَوْمِ فِي الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ. قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ : أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَتْ أُمُّ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ حُذَافَةَ ، لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ حُذَافَةَ : مَا سَمِعْتُ بِابْنٍ قَطُّ أَعَقَّ مِنْكَ ؟ أَأَمِنْتَ أَنْ تَكُونَ أُمُّكَ قَدْ قَارَفَتْ بَعْضَ مَا تُقَارِفُ نِسَاءُ أَهْلِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ، فَتَفْضَحَهَا عَلَى أَعْيُنِ النَّاسِ ؟ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ حُذَافَةَ : وَاللَّهِ لَوْ أَلْحَقَنِي بِعَبْدٍ أَسْوَدَ لَلَحِقْتُهُ.

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the people asked the Prophet of Allah (s.a.w) until he was hard pressed by their questioning. He came out one day and ascended the Minbar, and said: “Ask me, for you will not ask me anything but I will explain it to you.” When the people heard that, they were too over-awed to ask anything, as if something bad were about to happen.Anas said: “I started to look to my right and my left, and every man had wrapped his head in his garment and was weeping. A man who used to be slandered and his father stood up in the Masjid and said: ‘O Prophet of Allah, who is my father?’ He said: ‘Your father is Hudhafah.’ Then ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab started saying: ‘We are pleases with Allah as our Lord, Islam as our religion, and Muhammad as our Messenger, we seek refuge with Allah from the evil of Fitnah.’ The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: ‘I have never seen good and evil as (I did) today. Paradise and Hell were shown to me; I saw them near this wall.”’

حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ الْمَعْنِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنَّ النَّاسَ سَأَلُوا نَبِيَّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى أَحْفَوْهُ بِالْمَسْأَلَةِ ، فَخَرَجَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ ، فَقَالَ : سَلُونِي ، لاَ تَسْأَلُونِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلاَّ بَيَّنْتُهُ لَكُمْ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ الْقَوْمُ أَرَمُّوا وَرَهِبُوا أَنْ يَكُونَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَمْرٍ قَدْ حَضَرَ. قَالَ أَنَسٌ : فَجَعَلْتُ أَلْتَفِتُ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالاً ، فَإِذَا كُلُّ رَجُلٍ لاَفٌّ رَأْسَهُ فِي ثَوْبِهِ يَبْكِي ، فَأَنْشَأَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ ، كَانَ يُلاَحَى فَيُدْعَى لِغَيْرِ أَبِيهِ ، فَقَالَ : يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ مَنْ أَبِي ؟ قَالَ : أَبُوكَ حُذَافَةُ ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، فَقَالَ: رَضِينَا بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا ، وَبِالإِسْلاَمِ دِينًا ، وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولاً ، عَائِذًا بِاللَّهِ مِنْ سُوءِ الْفِتَنِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَمْ أَرَ كَالْيَوْمِ قَطُّ فِي الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ ، إِنِّي صُوِّرَتْ لِي الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ ، فَرَأَيْتُهُمَا دُونَ هَذَا الْحَائِطِ.

It was narrated that Abu Musa said: “The Prophet (s.a.w) was asked about some things that he disliked. When he was asked too much he became angry and said to the people: ‘’Ask me whatever you want.’ A man said: ‘Who is my father?’ He said: ‘Your father is Hudhafah.’ Another man stood up and said: ‘Who is my father, O Messenger of Allah?’ He said: ‘Your father is Salim, the freed slave of Shaibah.’ When ‘Umar saw the anger on the face of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), he said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, we repent to Allah.”’ In the report of Abu Kuraib (it says): “He said: ‘Who is my father, O Messenger of Allah?’ He said: ‘Your father is Salim, the freed of Shaibah.”’

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بَرَّادٍ الأَشْعَرِيُّ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ ، قَالاَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، عَنْ بُرَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ، قَالَ : سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ كَرِهَهَا ، فَلَمَّا أُكْثِرَ عَلَيْهِ غَضِبَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلنَّاسِ : سَلُونِي عَمَّ شِئْتُمْ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : مَنْ أَبِي ؟ قَالَ : أَبُوكَ حُذَافَةُ فَقَامَ آخَرُ فَقَالَ : مَنْ أَبِي ؟ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، قَالَ : أَبُوكَ سَالِمٌ مَوْلَى شَيْبَةَ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى عُمَرُ مَا فِي وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ الْغَضَبِ قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنَّا نَتُوبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ. وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي كُرَيْبٍ قَالَ: مَنْ أَبِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، قَالَ : أَبُوكَ سَالِمٌ مَوْلَى شَيْبَةَ.

It was narrated from Musa bin Talhah that his father said: “The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and I passed by some people who were at the top of their date palms. He said: ‘What are these people doing?’ They said: ‘They are pollinating them, putting the male with the female so that it will be pollinated.’ The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: ‘I do not think that it is of any use.’ They were told about that, so they stopped doing it. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) was told about that and he said: ‘If it benefits them, let them do it. I only expressed what I thought. Do not blame me for what I say based on my own thoughts, but if I narrate something to you from Allah, than follow it, for I will never tell lies about Allah, may He Glorified and Exalted is He.”’

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ ، وَأَبُو كَامِلٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ ، وَتَقَارَبَا فِي اللَّفْظِ . وَهَذَا حَدِيثُ قُتَيْبَةَ ، قَالاَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ طَلْحَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : مَرَرْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِقَوْمٍ عَلَى رُؤُوسِ النَّخْلِ ، فَقَالَ : مَا يَصْنَعُ هَؤُلاَءِ ؟ فَقَالُوا : يُلَقِّحُونَهُ ، يَجْعَلُونَ الذَّكَرَ فِي الأُنْثَى فتَلْقَحُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَا أَظُنُّ يُغْنِي ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا , قَالَ : فَأُخْبِرُوا بِذَلِكَ فَتَرَكُوهُ ، فَأُخْبِرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ : إِنْ كَانَ يَنْفَعُهُمْ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَصْنَعُوهُ ، فَإِنِّي إِنَّمَا ظَنَنْتُ ظَنًّا ، فَلاَ تُؤَاخِذُونِي بِالظَّنِّ ، وَلَكِنْ إِذَا حَدَّثْتُكُمْ عَنِ اللهِ شَيْئًا ، فَخُذُوا بِهِ ، فَإِنِّي لَنْ أَكْذِبَ عَلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.

Rafi bin Khadij said: “The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) came to Al-Madinah, and they (the farmers) were pollinating date palms. They said, they are pollinating the date palms. He said: ‘What are you doing?’ They said: ‘We used to do that.’ He said: ‘Perhaps if you do not do it, it may be better.”’ So they stopped doing it, and the crop (that year) failed or the yield was reduced. They mentioned that to him and he said: ‘I am only human. If I tell you to do some in religious matter, then follow it, but if I tell you do not do something based on my opinion, then I am only human.”’

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الرُّومِيِّ الْيَمَامِيُّ ، وَعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمَعْقِرِيُّ ، قَالُوا : حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ ، وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّجَاشِيِّ ، حَدَّثَنِي رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ ، قَالَ : قَدِمَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ ، وَهُمْ يَأْبُرُونَ النَّخْلَ ، يَقُولُونَ يُلَقِّحُونَ النَّخْلَ ، فَقَالَ : مَا تَصْنَعُونَ ؟ قَالُوا : كُنَّا نَصْنَعُهُ ، قَالَ : لَعَلَّكُمْ لَوْ لَمْ تَفْعَلُوا كَانَ خَيْرًا فَتَرَكُوهُ ، فَنَفَضَتْ ، أَوْ فَنَقَصَتْ ، قَالَ فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ : إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ ، إِذَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ دِينِكُمْ فَخُذُوا بِهِ ، وَإِذَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ رَأْيِي ، فَإِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ. قَالَ عِكْرِمَةُ : أَوْ نَحْوَ هَذَا. قَالَ الْمَعْقِرِيُّ : فَنَفَضَتْ وَلَمْ يَشُكَّ.

It was narrated from Anas that the Prophet (s.a.w) passed by some people who were pollinating (palm trees) and said: “If you do not do it, it may be better.” The trees produced bad dates, then he passed by them and said: “What is the matter with your palm trees?” They said: “You said such-and-such.” He said: “You know better about your worldly affairs.”

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَعَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ ، كِلاَهُمَا عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ، قَالَ: أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، وَعَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّ بِقَوْمٍ يُلَقِّحُونَ ، فَقَالَ: لَوْ لَمْ تَفْعَلُوا لَصَلُحَ قَالَ: فَخَرَجَ شِيصًا ، فَمَرَّ بِهِمْ فَقَالَ: مَا لِنَخْلِكُمْ ؟ قَالُوا: قُلْتَ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، قَالَ: أَنْتُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِأَمْرِ دُنْيَاكُمْ.
