ahmad-zuhd:328ʿAbdullāh > Bī > ʿAbdullāh b. Yazīd > Ibrāhīm b. al-Walīd al-ʿAbdī Abū Isḥāq > Balaghanī > ʿĪsá Ibn Maryam

[Machine] I have been informed that Jesus, son of Mary, said that time revolves around three days. Yesterday, it has gone and you were advised with it. Today, it increases you. And tomorrow, you do not know what will happen to you. And matters revolve around three things: a matter that its guidance is clear for you, so follow it; a matter that its misguidance is clear for you, so avoid it; and a matter that is difficult for you, so leave it to Allah.  

الزهد لأحمد:٣٢٨حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أبِي حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ الْعَبْدِيُّ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ

بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ قَالَ الدَّهْرُ يَدُورُ عَلَى ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ أَمْسِ خَلَا وُعِظْتَ بِهِ وَالْيَوْمَ زَادُكَ فِيهِ وَغَدًا لَا تَدْرِي مَا لَكَ فِيهِ وَالْأُمُورُ تَدُورُ عَلَى ثَلَاثَةٍ أَمْرٌ بَانَ لَكَ رُشْدُهُ فَاتَّبِعْهُ وَأَمْرٌ بَانَ لَكَ غَيُّهُ فَاجْتَنِبْهُ وَأَمْرٌ أَشْكَلَ عَلَيْكَ فَكِلْهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ

[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ, Jesus son of Mary ﷺ said: "Indeed, matters are only three: a matter that its righteousness is clear to you, so follow it; a matter that its misguidance is clear to you, so avoid it; and a matter in which there is disagreement, so refer it back to the scholars."  

الطبراني:١٠٧٧٤حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ الْمَوْصِلِيُّ ثنا الْمُعَافَى بْنُ عِمْرَانَ ثنا مُوسَى بْنُ خَلَفٍ الْعَمِّيُّ عَنْ أَبِي الْمِقْدَامِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنَّ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَالَ إِنَّمَا الْأُمُورُ ثَلَاثَةٌ أَمْرٌ يَتَبَيَّنُ لَكَ رُشْدُهُ فَاتَّبِعْهُ وَأَمْرٌ يَتَبَيَّنُ لَكَ غَيُّهُ فَاجْتَنِبْهُ وَأَمْرٌ اخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ فَرُدَّهُ إِلَى عَالِمِهِ
