[Machine] I witnessed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during his delegation to Al-'Ala when he directed him towards Bahrain. He said, "It is not permissible for anyone to be ignorant of the obligatory acts and the recommended acts, and it is permissible for him to do anything other than that." And he wrote to Al-'Ala, "Adopt the customs of the Magi, the people of the Book."  

شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِيمَا عَهَدَ إِلَى الْعَلَاءِ حَيْثُ وَجَّهَهُ إِلَى الْبَحْرَيْنِ قَالَ «وَلَا يَحِلُّ لِأَحَدٍ جَهْلُ الْفَرْضِ وَالسُّنَنِ وَيَحِلُّ لَهُ مَا سِوَى ذَلِكَ» وَكَتَبَ للعلاءِ «أَنْ سُنُّوا بِالْمَجُوسِ سُنَّةَ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ»  

[Machine] I heard Ibn Mukhlad saying, "I was born when the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ arrived in Medina, and he passed away while I was ten years old."  

سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ مُخَلَّدٍ يَقُولُ «وُلِدْتُ حِينَ قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ وَمَاتَ وَأَنَا ابْنُ عَشْرٍ»  

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ came when I was four years old, and he passed away when I was fourteen. The hadith of Abdur Rahman ibn Mahdi is with me, and Allah knows best."  

«قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَنَا ابْنُ أَرْبَعٍ وَتُوُفِّيَ وَأَنَا ابْنُ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ» «وَحَدِيثُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَهْدِيٍّ عِنْدِي الصَّوَابُ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ»
