[Machine] "He used to remind people every Thursday, so a man said, 'I wish you would remind us every day.' He said, 'I only refrain from doing so for fear that I would overwhelm you. Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to give us admonitions between the days, fearing that it would be burdensome upon us.'"

bukhari:70 – ʿUthmān b. Abū Shaybah > Jarīr > Manṣūr > Abū Wāʾil

ʿAbdullah used to give a religious talk to the people on every Thursday. Once a man said, "O Aba ʿAbdur-Rahman! (By Allah) I wish if you could preach us daily." He replied, "The only thing which prevents me from doing so, is that I hate to bore you, and no doubt I take care of you in preaching by selecting a suitable time just as the Prophet ﷺ used to do with us, for fear of making us bored."  

البخاري:٧٠ – حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ قَالَ

كَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يُذَكِّرُ النَّاسَ فِي كُلِّ خَمِيسٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ لَوَدِدْتُ أَنَّكَ ذَكَّرْتَنَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ يَمْنَعُنِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أُمِلَّكُمْ وَإِنِّي أَتَخَوَّلُكُمْ بِالْمَوْعِظَةِ كَمَا كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَتَخَوَّلُنَا بِهَا مَخَافَةَ السَّآمَةِ عَلَيْنَا

Abu 'Abd al-Rahman, we love your talk and so we yearn (to listen to you) and earnestly desire that you should deliver us lecture every day. Thereupon he said: There is nothing to hinder me in giving you talk (every day) but the fact that you may be bored. Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not deliver sermons on certain days (fearing that we might be bored).  

مسلم:٢٨٢١c – وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ حَدَّثَنَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ شَقِيقٍ أَبِي وَائِلٍ قَالَ

كَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يُذَكِّرُنَا كُلَّ يَوْمِ خَمِيسٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، إِنَّا نُحِبُّ حَدِيثَكَ وَنَشْتَهِيهِ وَلَوَدِدْنَا أَنَّكَ حَدَّثْتَنَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ۔ فَقَالَ: مَا يَمْنَعُنِي أَنْ أُحَدِّثَكُمْ إِلاَّ كَرَاهِيَةُ أَنْ أُمِلَّكُمْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَتَخَوَّلُنَا بِالْمَوْعِظَةِ فِي الأَيَّامِ كَرَاهِيَةَ السَّآمَةِ عَلَيْنَا۔  

ahmad:4060 – Jarīr > Manṣūr > Abū Wāʾil

[Machine] Abdullah used to remind us every Thursday, so it was said to him, "We wish you would remind us every day." He said, "I dislike burdening you. Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to spare us from lengthy admonitions and lectures that may bore us."  

أحمد:٤٠٦٠ – حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ قَالَ

كَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ مِمَّا يُذَكِّرُ كُلَّ يَوْمِ الْخَمِيسِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ لَوَدِدْنَاأَنَّكَ ذَكَّرْتَنَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ قَالَ إِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أُمِلَّكُمْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَتَخَوَّلُنَا بِالْمَوْعِظَةِ كَرَاهِيَةَ السَّآمَةِ عَلَيْنَا
