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."  

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  

[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."  

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  

[Machine] Abdullah used to come to us and say, "I want to inform you about your location. The only thing that prevents me from coming to you is my dislike for the fact that I might become your master. Indeed, the Messenger of Allah used to visit us with advice, which we disliked, during certain days."  

كَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ يَخْرُجُ إِلَيْنَا فَيَقُولُ إِنِّي لَأُخْبَرُ بِمَكَانِكُمْ وَمَا يَمْنَعُنِي أَنْ أَخْرُجَ إِلَيْكُمْ إِلَّا كَرَاهِيَةُ أَنْ أُمِلَّكُمْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺكَانَ يَتَخَوَّلُنَا بِالْمَوْعِظَةِ فِي الْأَيَّامِ كَرَاهِيَةَ السَّآمَةِ عَلَيْنَا  

[Machine] Abdullah used to remind us every Thursday or Monday. So we said, or it was said, "O Abu Abdur-Rahman, we love your speeches and desire them, and we wish that you remind us every day." So Abdullah said, "Nothing prevents me from doing that except my dislike of burdening you. However, I do urge you with admonition, just as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to urge us."  

كَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ يُذَكِّرُ كُلَّ خَمِيسٍ أَوِ اثْنَيْنِ الْأَيَّامَ قَالَ فَقُلْنَا أَوْ فَقِيلَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنَّا لَنُحِبُّ حَدِيثَكَ وَنَشْتَهِيهِ وَوَدِدْنَا أَنَّكَ تُذَكِّرُنَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ إِنَّهُ لَا يَمْنَعُنِي مِنْ ذَاكَ إِلَّا أَنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أُمِلَّكُمْ وَإِنِّي لَأَتَخَوَّلُكُمْ بِالْمَوْعِظَةِ كَمَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَخَوَّلُنَا  

[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.'"  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ مِمَّا يُذَكِّرُ النَّاسَ كُلَّ خَمِيسٍ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ وَدِدْتُ أَنَّكَ ذَكَّرْتَنَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ قَالَ «أَمَا إِنَّهُ مَا يَمْنَعُنِي ذَلِكَ إِلَّا مَخَافَةَ أَنْ أُمِلَّكُمْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَتَخَوَّلُنَا بِالْمَوْعِظَةِ بَيْنَ الْأَيَّامِ مَخَافَةَ السَّآمَةِ عَلَيْنَا»
