muslim:50aʿAmr al-Nāqid And ʾAbū Bakr b. al-Naḍr Waʿabd b. Ḥumayd Wa-al-Lafẓ Liʿabd > Yaʿqūb b. Ibrāhīm b. Saʿd from my father > Ṣāliḥ b. Kaysān > al-Ḥārith > Jaʿfar b. ʿAbdullāh b. al-Ḥakam > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. al-Miswar > Abū Rāfiʿ > ʿAbdullāh b. Masʿūd

Never a Prophet had been sent before me by Allah towards his nation who had not among his people (his) disciples and companions who followed his ways and obeyed his command. Then there came after them their successors who said whatever they did not practise, and practised whatever they were not commanded to do. He who strove against them with his hand was a believer: he who strove against them with his tongue was a believer, and he who strove against them with his heart was a believer and beyond that there is no faith even to the extent of a mustard seed. Abu Rafi' said: I narrated this hadith to 'Abdullah b. 'Umar; he contradicted me. There happened to come 'Abdullah b. Mas'ud who stayed at Qanat, and 'Abdullah b 'Umar wanted me to accompany him for visiting him (as 'Abdullah b. Mas'ud was ailing), so I went along with him and as we sat (before him) I asked Ibn Mas'ud about this hadith. He narrated it in the same way as I narrated it to Ibn 'Umar.  

مسلم:٥٠aحَدَّثَنِي عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ النَّضْرِ وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لِعَبْدٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْمِسْوَرِ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَا مِنْ نَبِيٍّ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ فِي أُمَّةٍ قَبْلِي إِلاَّ كَانَ لَهُ مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ حَوَارِيُّونَ وَأَصْحَابٌ يَأْخُذُونَ بِسُنَّتِهِ وَيَقْتَدُونَ بِأَمْرِهِ ثُمَّ إِنَّهَا تَخْلُفُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ خُلُوفٌ يَقُولُونَ مَا لاَ يَفْعَلُونَ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا لاَ يُؤْمَرُونَ فَمَنْ جَاهَدَهُمْ بِيَدِهِ فَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَمَنْ جَاهَدَهُمْ بِلِسَانِهِ فَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَمَنْ جَاهَدَهُمْ بِقَلْبِهِ فَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَلَيْسَ وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الإِيمَانِ حَبَّةُ خَرْدَلٍ قَالَ أَبُو رَافِعٍ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ فَأَنْكَرَهُ عَلَىَّ فَقَدِمَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَنَزَلَ بِقَنَاةَ فَاسْتَتْبَعَنِي إِلَيْهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ يَعُودُهُ فَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا جَلَسْنَا سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَحَدَّثَنِيهِ كَمَا حَدَّثْتُهُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ قَالَ صَالِحٌ وَقَدْ تُحُدِّثَ بِنَحْوِ ذَلِكَ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ

[Machine] Narrated by Abu Rafi, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah, from Abdullah bin Mas'ud, who said that the Prophet of Allah, ﷺ , said: "There was no prophet who did not have disciples who followed his guidance and followed his Sunnah (traditions). Then there will come after them successors who say what they do not do, and do what you disapprove of. Whoever fights against them with his hand is a believer, and whoever fights against them with his tongue is a believer, and whoever fights against them with his heart is a believer. There is no faith beyond that, even if it were as small as a mustard seed."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no prophet whom Allah has sent before me, in any nation, except that he had disciples and companions from his nation who followed his teachings and emulated him. Then, after them, there will come successors who say things that they do not do, and do things that they are not commanded to do. Whoever fights against them with his hand is a believer, and whoever fights against them with his tongue is a believer, and whoever fights against them with his heart is a believer. And beyond that, there is not even a mustard seed worth of faith."

"مَا مِنْ نَبِيٍّ بَعَثَهُ الله في أُمَّةٍ قَبْلى، إِلا كان له من أُمَّتِهِ حوَارِيُّون وَأَصْحَابٌ يأخذونَ بسنَّتِهِ ويقتدونَ بأَمره، ثم إِنَّها تَخْلُفُ من بعدِهم خُلُوفٌ يَقُولون ما لا يفعلون، ويفعلون ما لا يُؤْمرون، فمن جاهدهم بيده فهو مُؤْمن، ومن جاهدهم بلسانه فهو مؤْمنٌ، ومن جَاهَدَهُم بِقلْبِه فهو مُؤْمِنٌ، ليسَ وَرَاءَ ذلك من الإِيمان حَبَّةُ خَرْدَلٍ".
