[Machine] According to a narration that was narrated to me, I said, "Indeed, it is attributed to the Prophet ﷺ." He (the narrator) replied, "No, it is more beloved to us that if there is an increase or decrease [in the narration], it is attributed to someone other than the Prophet ﷺ."
عَنْ حَدِيثٍ فَحَدَّثَنِيهِ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّهُ يُرْفَعُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «لَا عَلَى مَنْ دُونَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْنَا فَإِنْ كَانَ فِيهِ زِيَادَةٌ أَوْ نُقْصَانٌ كَانَ عَلَى مَنْ دُونَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ»
[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ prohibited engaging in mukhaalah and muzabana. It was said to him, "Do you not preserve any other hadith from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He replied, "Yes, but I say what Abdullah said, and Alqamah said it is more beloved to me."
«نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْمُحَاقَلَةِ وَالْمُزَابَنَةِ» فَقِيلَ لَهُ أَمَا تَحْفَظُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَدِيثًا غَيْرَ هَذَا قَالَ بَلَى وَلَكِنْ أَقُولُ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ عَلْقَمَةُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ
[Machine] Abu Darda used to say, when he spoke about a Hadith from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "This is it, or similar to it, or resembling it, or bearing its form."
كَانَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ إِذَا حَدَّثَ بِحَدِيثٍ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ هَذَا أَوْ نَحْوَهُ أَوْ شِبْهَهُ أَوْ شَكْلَهُ
[Machine] Abu Darda used to say, whenever he narrated a hadith: "O Allah, grant it (the hadith) to be in this manner or similar to it."
كَانَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ إِذَا حَدَّثَ حَدِيثًا قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِلَّا هَكَذَا أَوْ كَشَكْلِهِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah said, "It was a dark night, and then the Messenger of Allah said, and his eyes bulged and his veins swelled, and I saw him as if his buttons were loosed and he said, 'Or like it, or similar to it, or something like it.'"
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ حَتَّى كَانَتْ ذَاتَ عَشِيَّةٍ فَقَالَ «قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ» قَالَ فَاغْرَوْرَقَتْ عَيْنَاهُ وَانْتَفَخَتْ أَوْدَاجُهُ فَأَنَا رَأَيْتُهُ مَحْلُولَةً أَزْرَارُهُ وَقَالَ «أَوْ مِثْلُهُ أَوْ نَحْوُهُ أَوْ شَبِيهٌ بِهِ»
[Machine] The translation of the given Arabic text is:
"About the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , his face would show signs of concern during certain days, and he would say, 'Like this, or something similar to this, like this or something similar to this.'"
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الْأَيَّامِ تَرَبَّدَ وَجْهُهُ وَقَالَ «هَكَذَا أَوْ نَحْوَهُ هَكَذَا أَوْ نَحْوَهُ»
[Machine] For the people, have you seen so-and-so who says, "The Messenger of Allah said, the Messenger of Allah said?" I sat with Ibn Umar for two or two and a half years, and I did not hear him narrate anything from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ except for this hadith.
لِي الشَّعْبِيُّ أَرَأَيْتَ فُلَانًا الَّذِي يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ؟ قَعَدْتُ مَعَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ سَنَتَيْنِ أَوْ سَنَةً وَنِصْفًا فَمَا سَمِعْتُهُ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ شَيْئًا إِلَّا هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ
My nephew, leave him for he defended Messenger of Allah ﷺ. (Using translation from Muslim 2487a)
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ»
[Machine] "He updates us monthly with two or three news stories."
«يُحَدِّثُنَا فِي الشَّهْرِ بِالْحَدِيثَيْنِ أَوِ الثَّلَاثَةِ»
[Machine] Did you hear from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He said, "And I am preparing for."
سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟» فَقَالَ وَأَتَحَلَّلُ
[Machine] "From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and whenever he mentioned the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he would say: "Or as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said.""
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ إِذَا حَدَّثَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
"Whenever Anas bin Malik finished narrating a Hadith from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he would say, 'Or as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 24)
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَدِيثًا قَالَ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
[Machine] "I went out with Saad to Makkah, but I did not hear him narrating any hadith from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until we returned to Madinah."
«خَرَجْتُ مَعَ سَعْدٍ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَمَا سَمِعْتُهُ يُحَدِّثُ حَدِيثًا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى رَجَعْنَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ»
[Machine] "When Umar joined the Ansar as they were leaving the city, he said, 'Do you know why I have accompanied you?' We replied, 'For the sake of the Ansar.' He said, 'Indeed, you are going to meet a people whose tongues are fluent with the recitation of the Quran, like the shaking of palm trees. Do not argue with them by talking about the Prophet's ﷺ sayings, for I am a partner with you.' I refrained from talking about anything, while having heard as my companions heard."
أَنَّ عُمَرَ شَيَّعَ الْأَنْصَارَ حِينَ خَرَجُوا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ «أَتَدْرُونَ لِمَ شَيَّعْتُكُمْ» قُلْنَا لِحَقِّ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالَ «إِنَّكُمْ تَأْتُونَ قَوْمًا تَهْتَزُّ أَلْسِنَتُهُمْ بِالْقُرْآنِ اهْتِزَازَ النَّخْلِ فَلَا تَصُدُّوهُمْ بِالْحَدِيثِ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا شَرِيكُكُمْ» قَالَ فَمَا حَدَّثْتُ بِشَيْءٍ وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ كَمَا سَمِعَ أَصْحَابِي
[Machine] Indeed, you come to Kufa, and you come to a people who have zeal for the Quran. They come to you and say, "The Companions of Muhammad have come, the Companions of Muhammad have come!" They come to you and ask you about the hadiths, so know that the best wudu consists of three and two. Then he said, "Indeed, you come to Kufa, and you come to a people who have zeal for the Quran. They come to you and say, 'The Companions of Muhammad have come, the Companions of Muhammad have come!' They come to you and ask you about the hadiths, so convey less narration from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I am your partner in it." Qarada said, "And I used to sit with the people while they mentioned the hadiths from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and I used to memorize them for him. When I mentioned the will of Umar, he remained silent." Abu Muhammad said, "What he means is that I have the narration about the days of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , not the Sunnah and the obligations."
إِنَّكُمْ تَأْتُونَ الْكُوفَةَ فَتَأْتُونَ قَوْمًا لَهُمْ أَزِيزٌ بِالْقُرْآنِ فَيَأْتُونَكُمْ فَيَقُولُونَ قَدِمَ أَصْحَابُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَدِمَ أَصْحَابُ مُحَمَّدٍ فَيَأْتُونَكُمْ فَيَسْأَلُونَكُمْ عَنِ الْحَدِيثِ فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ أَسْبَغَ الْوُضُوءِ ثَلَاثٌ وَثِنْتَانِ تُجْزِيَانِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ تَأْتُونَ الْكُوفَةَ فَتَأْتُونَ قَوْمًا لَهُمْ أَزِيزٌ بِالْقُرْآنِ فَيَقُولُونَ قَدِمَ أَصْحَابُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَدِمَ أَصْحَابُ مُحَمَّدٍ فَيَأْتُونَكُمْ فَيَسْأَلُونَكُمْ عَنِ الْحَدِيثِ فَأَقِلُّوا الرِّوَايَةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا شَرِيكُكُمْ فِيهِ قَالَ قَرَظَةُ وَإِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَجْلِسُ فِي الْقَوْمِ فَيَذْكُرُونَ الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وإِنِّي لَمِنْ أَحْفَظِهِمْ لَهُ فَإِذَا ذَكَرْتُ وَصِيَّةَ عُمَرَ سَكَتُّ قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ مَعْنَاهُ عِنْدِي الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ أَيَّامِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ السُّنَنَ وَالْفَرَائِضَ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, then he trembled, and then he said something along those lines or beyond that.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ ارْتَعَدَ ثُمَّ قَالَ نَحْوَ ذَلِكَ أَوْ فَوْقَ ذَاكَ
[Machine] About the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a hadith except that he said, "I was with the Prophet ﷺ , and a branch was brought to him and he said, 'From among the trees, there is a tree similar to a Muslim man.' I intended to say, 'It is the date-palm tree,' but then I looked and saw that I was the shortest among the people, so I remained silent." Umar said, "I wish you had said it, and upon me is this."
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِحَدِيثٍ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأُتِيَ بِجُمَّارٍ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ مِنَ الشَّجَرِ شَجَرًا مِثْلَ الرَّجُلِ الْمُسْلِمِ» فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَقُولَ هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا أَنَا أَصْغَرُ الْقَوْمِ فَسَكَتُّ قَالَ عُمَرُ وَدِدْتُ أَنَّكَ قُلْتَ وَعَلَيَّ كَذَا
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It is a sign of a person's greatness and fear of God that he does not lie about others."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِعْظَامًا وَاتِّقَاءً أَنْ يَكْذِبَ عَلَيْهِ
[Machine] Abu Huraira came to Kaab to ask about him, and Kaab was among the people. Kaab asked, "What do you want from him?" Abu Huraira replied, "I do not know anyone among the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who has better memory of his statements than me." Kaab said, "Indeed, you will not find a seeker of something who does not become satisfied with it one day in his life, except for a seeker of knowledge or a seeker of the worldly life." Abu Huraira asked, "Are you Kaab?" He replied, "Yes." Abu Huraira then said, "I came for someone like you."
جَاءَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ إِلَى كَعْبٍ يَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ وَكَعْبٌ فِي الْقَوْمِ فَقَالَ كَعْبٌ مَا تُرِيدُ مِنْهُ؟ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنِّي لَا أَعْرِفُ لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَحْفَظَ لِحَدِيثِهِ مِنِّي فَقَالَ كَعْبٌ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَنْ تَجِدَ طَالِبَ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا سَيَشْبَعُ مِنْهُ يَوْمًا مِنَ الدَّهْرِ إِلَّا طَالِبَ عِلْمٍ أَوْ طَالِبَ دُنْيَا فَقَالَ أَنْتَ كَعْبٌ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ لِمِثْلِ هَذَا جِئْتُ
[Machine] It was said, "O Messenger of Allah, who is the most knowledgeable among the people?" He said, "The one who gathers the knowledge of the people to his own knowledge, and every seeker of knowledge is a branch extended towards knowledge."
قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَعْلَمُ؟ قَالَ «مَنْ جَمَعَ عِلْمَ النَّاسِ إِلَى عِلْمِهِ وَكُلُّ طَالِبِ عِلْمٍ غَرْثَانُ إِلَى عِلْمٍ»
[Machine] A young man among the people said, "Overflow in the remembrance of Allah. May Allah bless you." Then the people looked at each other, wondering what they had seen. Then some of them asked, "Who commanded you to do this?" So, when you return, command us, and we will do the same."
شَابٌّ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْقَوْمِ أَفِيضُوا فِي ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ بَارَكَ اللَّهُ فِيكُمْ فَنَظَرَ الْقَوْمُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ فِي أَيِّ شَيْءٍ رَآنَا؟ ثُمَّ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ مَنْ أَمَرَكَ بِهَذَا؟ فَمُرْ لَئِنْ عُدْتَ لَنَفْعَلَنَّ وَلَنَفْعَلَنَّ
[Machine] "Abdullah said, 'What a noble gathering it is, a gathering in which wisdom is spread and mercy is hoped for.'"
عَبْدُ اللَّهِ «نِعْمَ الْمَجْلِسُ مَجْلِسٌ تُنْشَرُ فِيهِ الْحِكْمَةُ وَتُرْجَى فِيهِ الرَّحْمَةُ»
