[Machine] "Do you not see? A trial for the guided, a humiliation for the follower?"  

الدارمي:٥٤٠ – أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ هَارُونَ بْنَ عَنْتَرَةَ عَنْ سُلَيْمِ بْنِ حَنْظَلَةَ قَالَ أَتَيْنَا أُبَيَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ لِنَتَحَدَّثَ إِلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا قَامَ قُمْنَا وَنَحْنُ نَمْشِي خَلْفَهُ فَرَهَقَنَا عُمَرُ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَتَبِعَهُ فَضَرَبَهُ عُمَرُ بِالدِّرَّةِ قَالَ فَاتَّقَاهُ بِذِرَاعَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا نَصْنَعُ؟ قَالَ

«أَوَ مَا تَرَى؟ فِتْنَةً لِلْمَتْبُوعِ مَذَلَّةً لِلتَّابِعِ؟»

[Machine] And he said, "Indeed, your actions, this or your behavior, this, is humiliation for the follower and a trial for the follower."  

الدارمي:٥٤٤ – أَخْبَرَنَا مَخْلَدُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنِ الْهَيْثَمِ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ ضَمْرَةَ أَنَّهُ رَأَى أُنَاسًا يَتْبَعُونَ سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ فَأُرَاهُ قَالَ نَهَاهُمْ

وَقَالَ «إِنَّ صَنِيعَكُمْ هَذَا أَوْ مَشْيَكُمْ هَذَا مَذَلَّةٌ لِلتَّابِعِ وَفِتْنَةٌ لِلْمَتْبُوعِ»  

darimi:550 – Muḥammad b. Ḥumayd > Jarīr > Mughīrah > Saʿīd b. Jubayr

[Machine] "A trial for the followed, a humiliation for the follower."  

الدارمي:٥٥٠ – أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ

«فِتْنَةٌ لِلْمَتْبُوعِ مَذَلَّةٌ لِلتَّابِعِ»  

ahmad-zuhd:1207 – ʿAbdullāh > Abū Bakr > Shaybān > Shuʿbah > al-Haytham > Raʾá ʿĀṣim b. Ḍamrah Qawm Yattabiʿūn a man > Ghayr Abū Bakr Saʿīd b. Jubayr

[Machine] Indeed, it is a test for the one who follows and humiliation for the one who imitates.  

الزهد لأحمد:١٢٠٧ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنِ الْهَيْثَمِ قَالَ رَأَى عَاصِمُ بْنُ ضَمْرَةَ قَوْمًا يَتَّبِعُونَ رَجُلًا وَقَالَ غَيْرُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ فَقَالَ

إِنَّهَا فِتْنَةٌ لِلْمَتْبُوعِ مَذَلَّةٌ لِلتَّابِعِ
