[Machine] "No servant increases in knowledge of Allah except that people get closer to the mercy of Allah because of him."  

«مَا ازْدَادَ عَبْدٌ بِاللَّهِ عِلْمًا إِلَّا ازْدَادَ النَّاسُ مِنْهُ قُرْبًا مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ»  

[Machine] And he said in another narration, "A servant does not gain knowledge except that he gains determination, and Allah does not bestow upon a servant a gift better than serenity."  

وَقَالَ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ مَا ازْدَادَ عَبْدٌ عِلْمًا إِلَّا ازْدَادَ قَصْدًا وَلَا قَلَّدَ اللَّهُ عَبْدًا قِلَادَةً خَيْرًا مِنْ سَكِينَةٍ  

[Machine] I heard Wahb ibn Munabbih say, "O my son, seek wisdom for indeed all goodness is in wisdom. It elevates the small over the great, the slave over the free, and it increases a leader's strength, while it enables the poor to sit in the company of kings."  

سَمِعْتُ وَهْبَ بْنَ مُنَبِّهٍ يَقُولُ يَا بُنَيَّ عَلَيْكَ بِالْحِكْمَةِ فَإِنَّ الْخَيْرَ فِي الْحِكْمَةِ كُلَّهُ وَتُشَرِّفُ الصَّغِيرَ عَلَى الْكَبِيرِ وَالْعَبْدَ عَلَى الْحُرِّ وَتُزِيدُ السَّيِّدَ سُؤْدُدًا وَتُجْلِسُ الْفَقِيرَ مَجَالِسَ الْمُلُوكِ  

[Machine] "And what would we be without the words of the scholars?"  

«وَمَا نَحْنُ لَوْلَا كَلِمَاتُ الْعُلَمَاءِ؟»  

[Machine] Abu Qilabah said, "Do not associate with the people of desires (those who follow their own whims and desires) and do not argue with them, for I fear that they may lead you astray and confuse you with what you already know."  

أَبُو قِلَابَةَ «لَا تُجَالِسُوا أَهْلَ الْأَهْوَاءِ وَلَا تُجَادِلُوهُمْ فَإِنِّي لَا آمَنُ أَنْ يَغْمِسُوكُمْ فِي ضَلَالَتِهِمْ أَوْ يَلْبِسُوا عَلَيْكُمْ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَ»  

[Machine] I have not seen you. Did you sit with Talq ibn Habib? Do not sit with him.  

لِي أَلَمْ أَرَكَ جَلَسْتَ إِلَى طَلْقِ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ؟ لَا تُجَالِسَنَّهُ  

[Machine] "He has made a new thing, so if he has made a new thing, do not recite the blessings upon him."  

أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَحْدَثَ فَإِنْ كَانَ قَدْ أَحْدَثَ فَلَا تَقْرَأْ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامَ»  

[Machine] "Ibrahim did not see any innovation (in religion)."  

«كَانَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لَا يَرَى غِيبَةً لِلْمُبْتَدِعِ»  

[Machine] "Because he loves his friend."  

لِأَنَّهُ يَهْوِي بِصَاحِبِهِ»  

[Machine] Muslim ibn Yasār used to say, "Beware of disputes, as they are the moments of ignorance of the knowledgeable, and through them, Satan seeks to make you slip."  

كَانَ مُسْلِمُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ يَقُولُ «إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْمِرَاءَ فَإِنَّهَا سَاعَةُ جَهْلِ الْعَالِمِ وَبِهَا يَبْتَغِي الشَّيْطَانُ زَلَّتَهُ»  

[Machine] Two men from the followers of whims entered upon Ibn Seerin and said, "O Abu Bakr, shall we narrate a hadith to you?" He replied, "No." They said, "Then shall we recite a verse from the Book of Allah to you?" He replied, "No, so that you may not distort it and have that remain in my heart." Some people among them said, "O Abu Bakr, why was it upon you not to let them recite a verse from the Book of Allah, the Exalted?" He said, "I feared that they would recite a verse upon me and then distort it, and that would remain in my heart."  

دَخَلَ رَجُلَانِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْأَهْوَاءِ عَلَى ابْنِ سِيرِينَ فَقَالَا يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ نُحَدِّثُكَ بِحَدِيثٍ؟ قَالَ «لَا» قَالَا فَنَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ آيَةً مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «لَا لِتَقُومَانِ عَنِّي أَوْ لَأَقُومَنَّ» قَالَ فَخَرَجَا فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَمَا كَانَ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ يَقْرَآ عَلَيْكَ آيَةً مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى؟ قَالَ «إِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَقْرَآ عَلَيَّ آيَةً فَيُحَرِّفَانِهَا فَيَقِرُّ ذَلِكَ فِي قَلْبِي»  

[Machine] "He turned and pointed with his finger, not even uttering a word." Said pointed to us with his right pinky finger.  

«فَوَلَّى وَهُوَ يُشِيرُ بِأُصْبُعِهِ وَلَا نِصْفَ كَلِمَةٍ» وَأَشَارَ لَنَا سَعِيدٌ بِخِنْصِرِهِ الْيُمْنَى  

[Machine] Azichan  

أَزِيشَانْ  

[Machine] "Do not sit with the people of disputes, for they are the ones who engage in the signs of Allah."  

«لَا تُجَالِسُوا أَصْحَابَ الْخُصُومَاتِ فَإِنَّهُمُ الَّذِينَ يَخُوضُونَ فِي آيَاتِ اللَّهِ»  

[Machine] About Al-Hasan and Ibn Seerin, they said: "Do not sit with people of desires, do not argue with them, and do not listen to them."  

عَنِ الْحَسَنِ وَابْنِ سِيرِينَ أَنَّهُمَا قَالَا «لَا تُجَالِسُوا أَصْحَابَ الْأَهْوَاءِ وَلَا تُجَادِلُوهُمْ وَلَا تَسْمَعُوا مِنْهُمْ»  

[Machine] "They are called the followers of desires because they will be slanting towards the fire."  

«إِنَّمَا سُمُّوا أَصْحَابَ الْأَهْوَاءِ لِأَنَّهُمْ يَهْوُونَ فِي النَّارِ»  

[Machine] "I have never seen anyone among the people, whether noble or lowly, except for a peacock, on which they all agree."  

«مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا مِنَ النَّاسِ الشَّرِيفُ وَالْوَضِيعُ عِنْدَهُ سَوَاءٌ غَيْرَ طَاوُسٍ وَهُوَ يَحْلِفُ عَلَيْهِ»  

[Machine] "We used to hate writing knowledge until the Sultan imposed it on us, so we hated to prevent anyone from acquiring it."  

«كُنَّا نَكْرَهُ كِتَابَةَ الْعِلْمِ حَتَّى أَكْرَهَنَا عَلَيْهِ السُّلْطَانُ فَكَرِهْنَا أَنْ نَمْنَعَهُ أَحَدًا»  

[Machine] He talked to him, so he said, "If there was a man from the Zanj, I would have Abdullah bin Muhammad with me on equal terms."  

يُحَدِّثُهُ فَقَالَ «لَوْ كَانَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الزِّنْجِ لَكَانَ عِنْدِي وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي هَذَا سَوَاءً»  

[Machine] "That is easier for him than for me."  

«ذَلِكَ أَهْوَنُ لَهُ عَلَيَّ»  

[Machine] "I have never feared anyone from the people like I fear Khalid ibn Ma'dan."  

«مَا خِفْتُ أَحَدًا مِنَ النَّاسِ مَخَافَتِي خَالِدَ بْنَ مَعْدَانَ»  

[Machine] "We used to fear the authority of Ibrahim, the prince."  

«كُنَّا نَهَابُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ هَيْبَةَ الْأَمِيرِ»  

[Machine] Not every hour do I milk, and then I drink.  

مَا كُلَّ سَاعَةٍ أَحْلُبُ فَأُشْرَبُ  

[Machine] "Abdul Rahman disliked talking on the way."  

«أَنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ كَرِهَ الْحَدِيثَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ»  

[Machine] Does he have a person who told you this or from whom you have heard this? So, he became angry and prevented us from speaking until he left.  

لَهُ رَجُلٌ مَنْ حَدَّثَكَ هَذَا أَوْ مِمَّنْ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا؟ فَغَضِبَ وَمَنَعَنَا حَدِيثَهُ حَتَّى قَامَ  

[Machine] "If I had befriended Ibn Abbas, I would have gained much knowledge from him."  

لَوْ رَفَقْتُ بِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ لَأَصَبْتُ مِنْهُ عِلْمًا كَثِيرًا  

[Machine] "I have never seen anyone more honorable for knowledge than my father."  

«مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا أَكْرَمَ لِلْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَبِي»  

‘I came across Tāwus and said: ‘So-and-so narrated to me such-and-such’. Then he said: ‘If your companion is trustworthy, then take from him.’ (Using translation from Muslim i020)  

«إِنْ كَانَ صَاحِبُكَ مَلِيًّا فَخُذْ عَنْهُ»  

‘There is to be no narrating on authority of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah send blessings and peace upon him, except by trustworthy narrators (Thiqāt)’. (Using translation from Muslim i023)  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَّا الثِّقَاتُ»  

[Machine] Regarding the Isnad (the chain of narrators), then they asked afterwards to know who was the companion of the Sunnah from whom they took, and who was not the companion of the Sunnah from whom they did not take. Abu Muhammad said, "I do not think he heard it from Asim."  

عَنِ الْإِسْنَادِ ثُمَّ سَأَلُوا بَعْدُ لِيَعْرِفُوا مَنْ كَانَ صَاحِبَ سُنَّةٍ أَخَذُوا عَنْهُ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ صَاحِبَ سُنَّةٍ لَمْ يَأْخُذُوا عَنْهُ» قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ «مَا أَظُنُّهُ سَمِعَهُ مِنْ عَاصِمٍ»  

[Machine] "Tell me about two men who do not care about whoever takes their conversation," said Abu Muhammad Abdullah. "I don't think he heard it."  

تُحَدِّثْنِي عَنْ رَجُلَيْنِ فَإِنَّهُمَا لَا يُبَالِيَانِ عَمَّنْ أَخَذَا حَدِيثَهُمَا» قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ «لَا أَظُنُّهُ سَمِعَهُ»  

[Machine] Ibrahim said, "If you speak to me, then tell me about Abu Zur'ah; he narrated to me a story. Then after that, I asked him about a year, but not a single word was omitted from it."  

قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ «إِذَا حَدَّثْتَنِي فَحَدِّثْنِي عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ فَإِنَّهُ حَدَّثَنِي بِحَدِيثٍ ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِسَنَةٍ فَمَا خَرمَ مِنْهُا حَرْفًا»  

[Machine] This knowledge is a religion, so let the person consider from whom they take their religion.  

«إِنَّ هَذَا الْعِلْمَ دِينٌ فَلْيَنْظُرِ الرَّجُلُ عَمَّنْ يَأْخُذُ دِينَهُ»  

[Machine] "They look at him, his prayer, his direction, and his appearance."  

عَنْهُ نَظَرُوا إِلَى صَلَاتِهِ وَإِلَى سَمْتِهِ وَإِلَى هَيْئَتِهِ»  

[Machine] "They sought knowledge from him, observed his prayer, his direction, and his appearance, and then they took from him."  

عَنْهُ الْعِلْمَ نَظَرُوا إِلَى صَلَاتِهِ وَإِلَى سَمْتِهِ وَإِلَى هَيْئَتِهِ ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُونَ عَنْهُ»  

[Machine] Regarding Hasan, it is similar to the hadith of Ibrahim.  

عَنِ الْحَسَنِ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ  

[Machine] From him, we observe when he prays. If he performs it excellently, we sit with him and say, "He performs it better than others." And if he performs it poorly, we stand away from him and say, "He performs it worse than others." Abu Ma'mar said that his statement is like this.  

عَنْهُ فَنَنْظُرُ إِذَا صَلَّى فَإِنْ أَحْسَنَهَا جَلَسْنَا إِلَيْهِ وَقُلْنَا هُوَ لِغَيْرِهَا أَحْسَنُ وَإِنْ أَسَاءَهَا قُمْنَا عَنْهُ وَقُلْنَا هُوَ لِغَيْرِهَا أسْوأُ قَالَ أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ لَفْظُهُ نَحْوُ هَذَا  

[Machine] "I do not know if I heard it from him or from Ibn 'Awn about Muhammad, 'Indeed, this knowledge is a religion, so be careful who you take your religion from.'"  

لَا أَدْرِي سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهُ أَوْ لابْنُ عَوْنٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ «إِنَّ هَذَا الْعِلْمَ دِينٌ فَانْظُرُوا عَمَّنْ تَأْخُذُونَ دِينَكُمْ»  

‘I came across Tāwus and said: ‘So-and-so narrated to me such-and-such’. Then he said: ‘If your companion is trustworthy, then take from him.’ (Using translation from Muslim i020)  

«فَإِنْ كَانَ صَاحِبُكَ مَلِيًّا فَخُذْ عَنْهُ»  

[Machine] Do you know my entire conversation and deny it, or do you know this and deny my entire conversation? Ibn Abbas said, "We used to relate from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he was not accused of lying. But when people faced difficulties and humiliation, we stopped narrating from him."  

لَهُ بُشَيْرٌ مَا أَدْرِي عَرَفْتَ حَدِيثِي كُلَّهُ وَأَنْكَرْتَ هَذَا أَوْ عَرَفْتَ هَذَا وَأَنْكَرْتَ حَدِيثِي كُلَّهُ؟ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ «إِنَّا كُنَّا نُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُكْذَبُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا رَكِبَ النَّاسُ الصَّعْبَ وَالذَّلُولَ تَرَكْنَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْهُ»  

[Machine] "From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , until you bear hardship and humiliation."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى رَكِبْتُمُ الصَّعْبَةَ وَالذَّلُولَ»  

[Machine] "That demons appear, which Solomon ﷺ has bound, to teach people about religion."  

أَنْ يَظْهَرَ شَيَاطِينُ قَدْ أَوْثَقَهَا سُلَيْمَانُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ يُفَقِّهُونَ النَّاسَ فِي الدِّينِ»  

[Machine] "Consider from whom you take this narration, for it is your religion."  

«انْظُرُوا عَمَّنْ تَأْخُذُونَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فَإِنَّهُ دِينُكُمْ»  

[Machine] "So that the interpretation of the hadith of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is based on the same caution as the interpretation of the Quran."  

«لِيُتَّقَى مِنْ تَفْسِيرِ حَدِيثِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَمَا يُتَّقَى مِنْ تَفْسِيرِ الْقُرْآنِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, and so and so said?  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ فُلَانٌ؟  

[Machine] "There is no opinion for anyone in the Book of Allah. Rather, the only opinion is that of the Imams regarding matters for which there is no book revealed, nor has a sunnah been passed down from the Messenger of Allah. And there is no opinion for anyone in a sunnah established by the Messenger of Allah."  

أَنَّهُ لَا رَأْيَ لِأَحَدٍ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّمَا رَأْيُ الْأَئِمَّةِ فِيمَا لَمْ يَنْزِلْ فِيهِ كِتَابٌ وَلَمْ تَمْضِ بِهِ سُنَّةٌ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَا رَأْيَ لِأَحَدٍ فِي سُنَّةٍ سَنَّهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ»  

[Machine] "O people, Allah has not sent a prophet after your prophet, nor has He revealed any book after this book that He has sent down upon him. What Allah has made lawful on the tongue of His prophet is lawful until the Day of Resurrection, and what He has made forbidden on the tongue of His prophet is forbidden until the Day of Resurrection. Know that I am not a judge, but rather a conveyor. I am not an innovator, but a follower. I am not better than you except that I bear a heavier burden. Indeed, no one from the creation of Allah should be obeyed in disobeying Allah. Have you heard?"  

«يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَبْعَثْ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّكُمْ نَبِيًّا وَلَمْ يُنْزِلْ بَعْدَ هَذَا الْكِتَابِ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ كِتَابًا فَمَا أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّهِ فَهُوَ حَلَالٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّهِ فَهُوَ حَرَامٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ أَلَا وَإِنِّي لَسْتُ بِقاضٍّ وَلَكِنِّي مُنَفِّذٌ وَلَسْتُ بِمُبْتَدِعٍ وَلَكِنِّي مُتَّبِعٌ وَلَسْتُ بِخَيْرٍ مِنْكُمْ غَيْرَ أَنِّي أَثْقَلُكُمْ حِمْلًا أَلَا وَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ أَنْ يُطَاعَ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ أَلَا هَلْ أَسْمَعْتُ؟؟»  

[Machine] There was a peacock praying two units after Asr prayer, so Ibn Abbas said to him, "Leave them." He said, "It was only forbidden to perform them on a ladder." Ibn Abbas said, "Indeed, prayer after Asr has been forbidden, so I do not know whether you will be punished for it or rewarded, for Allah says, 'It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should [thereafter] have any choice about their affair. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly strayed into clear error.'" (Quran 33:36) Sufyan said, "He considers it to be on a ladder, meaning he prays from after Asr until the night."  

كَانَ طاووسٌ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ «اتْرُكْهُمَا» قَالَ «إِنَّمَا نُهِيَ عَنْهَا أَنْ تُتَّخَذُ سُلَّمًا» قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ نُهِيَ عَنْ صَلَاةٍ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ فَلَا أَدْرِي أَتُعَذَّبُ عَلَيْهَا أَمْ تُؤْجَرُ لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ {وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَلَا مُؤْمِنَةٍ إِذَا قَضَى اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمْرًا أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ وَمَنْ يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقْدَ ضَلَّ ضَلَالًا مُبِينًا} [الأحزاب 36] قَالَ سُفْيَانُ تُتَّخَذَ سُلَّمًا يَقُولُ يُصَلِّي بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى اللَّيْلِ  

[Machine] "Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a copy of the Torah, and he said: 'O Messenger of Allah, this is a copy of the Torah.' Then he remained silent and started reading. The face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed. Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, said: 'May you be sacrificed for this moment! Why do you not see the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?' So Umar looked at the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: 'I seek refuge in Allah from the anger of Allah and the anger of His Messenger. We are pleased with Allah as our Lord, Islam as our religion, and Muhammad as our Prophet.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'We are pleased with Allah as our Lord, Islam as our religion, and Muhammad as our Prophet.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'By the One in Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is, if Moses were to appear to you and you were to follow him and abandon me, you would be led astray from the right path. And if he were alive during my prophethood, he would have followed me.'"  

أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِنُسْخَةٍ مِنَ التَّوْرَاةِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذِهِ نُسْخَةٌ مِنَ التَّوْرَاةِ فَسَكَتَ فَجَعَلَ يَقْرَأُ وَوَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ يَتَغَيَّرُ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ ثَكِلَتْكَ الثَّوَاكِلُ مَا تَرَى بِوَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ فَنَظَرَ عُمَرُ إِلَى وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ غَضَبِ اللَّهِ وَغَضَبِ رَسُولِهِ رَضِينَا بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيًّا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَضِينَا بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيًّا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَوْ بَدَا لَكُمْ مُوسَى فَاتَّبَعْتُمُوهُ وَتَرَكْتُمُونِي لَضَلَلْتُمْ عَنْ سَوَاءِ السَّبِيلِ وَلَوْ كَانَ حَيًّا وَأَدْرَكَ نُبُوَّتِي لَاتَّبَعَنِي»  

[Machine] From Abu Rabah, a sheikh from the family of Umar, he said: Sa'id bin al-Musayyib saw a man praying two rak'ahs after Asr and making takbir (saying Allah is the greatest). Sa'id said to him, "O Abu Muhammad, does Allah punish me for praying?" He said, "No, but Allah punishes you for going against the sunnah."  

عَنْ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ شَيْخٌ مِنْ آلِ عُمَرَ قَالَ رَأَى سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ رَجُلًا يُصَلِّي بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ يُكَبِّرُ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ أَيُعَذِّبُنِي اللَّهُ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ؟ قَالَ «لَا وَلَكِنْ يُعَذِّبُكَ اللَّهُ بِخِلَافِ السُّنَّةِ»
