"No one tells the stories to the people (for the purpose of exhortation) except a ruler, one appointed by a ruler, or a show-off."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَقُصُّ عَلَى النَّاسِ إِلاَّ أَمِيرٌ أَوْ مَأْمُورٌ أَوْ مُرَاءٍ  

"Stories (for the purpose of exhortation) were unknown at the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, the time of Abu Bakr and Umar."  

لَمْ يَكُنِ الْقَصَصُ فِي زَمَنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلاَ زَمَنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَلاَ زَمَنِ عُمَرَ
