[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, instruct me in a matter in Islam about which I will not ask anyone else after you." He said, "Say I have believed in Allah and then remain steadfast." I asked, "What does it mean to remain steadfast?" He pointed to his tongue. [Narrated by Muhammad bin Bashar, narrated by Muhammad, narrated by Shu'bah, from Ya'la bin 'Ata', from 'Abdullah bin Sufyan Ath-Thaqafi, from his father, similar to it].
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مُرْنِي بِأَمْرٍ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ لَا أَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ أَحَدًا غَيْرَكَ بَعْدَكَ قَالَ قُلْ آمَنْتُ بِاللهِ ثُمَّ اسْتَقِمْ قَالَ فَمَا أَتَّقِي؟ فَأَشَارَ إِلَى لِسَانِهِ 11426 أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ الثَّقَفِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ مِثْلَهُ
