ahmad:16875

[Machine] Abdullah informed us that I found these words at the end of this narration in the book of my father, written in his handwriting, connected to him. And he had written it, so I do not know whether I should recite it or not. Indeed, the listener who obeys has no excuse, and indeed, the listener who disobeys has no excuse.  

أحمد:١٦٨٧٥
