[Machine] Abdullah, I will inform you of your position. There is nothing preventing me from coming to you except my reluctance to burden you. Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to advise us reluctantly during these days, out of concern for us.  

الطبراني:١٠٤٣٠حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمَسْرُوقِيُّ الْكُوفِيُّ ثنا مِنْجَابُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ قَالَ قَالَ

عَبْدُ اللهِ إِنِّي لَأُخْبَرُ بِمَوْضِعِكُمْ فَمَا يَمْنَعُنِي أَنْ أَخْرُجَ إِلَيْكُمْ إِلَّا كَرَاهِيَةُ أَنْ أُمِلَّكُمْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَتَخَوَّلُنَا بِالْمَوْعِظَةِ فِي الْأَيَّامِ كَرَاهِيَةَ السَّآمَةِ عَلَيْنَا

bukhari:6411ʿUmar b. Ḥafṣ from my father > al-Aʿmash > Shaqīq

While we were waiting for ʿAbdullah (bin Masʿud). Yazid bin Muawiya came. I said (to him), "Will you sit down?" He said, "No, but I will go into the house (of Ibn Masʿud) and let your companion (Ibn Masʿud) come out to you; and if he should not (come out), I will come out and sit (with you)." Then ʿAbdullah came out, holding the hand of Yazid, addressed us, saying, "I know that you are assembled here, but the reason that prevents me from coming out to you, is that Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to preach to us at intervals during the days, lest we should become bored."  

البخاري:٦٤١١حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي شَقِيقٌ قَالَ كُنَّا نَنْتَظِرُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ إِذْ جَاءَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ فَقُلْنَا أَلاَ تَجْلِسُ قَالَ

لاَ وَلَكِنْ أَدْخُلُ فَأُخْرِجُ إِلَيْكُمْ صَاحِبَكُمْ وَإِلاَّ جِئْتُ أَنَا فَجَلَسْتُ فَخَرَجَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَهْوَ آخِذٌ بِيَدِهِ فَقَامَ عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنِّي أَخْبَرُ بِمَكَانِكُمْ وَلَكِنَّهُ يَمْنَعُنِي مِنَ الْخُرُوجِ إِلَيْكُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَتَخَوَّلُنَا بِالْمَوْعِظَةِ فِي الأَيَّامِ كَرَاهِيَةَ السَّآمَةِ عَلَيْنَا  

ahmad:3587ʿAbdullāh b. Idrīs > al-Aʿmash Yarwī > Shaqīq

[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."  

أحمد:٣٥٨٧حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ إِدْرِيسَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْأَعْمَشَ يَرْوِي عَنْ شَقِيقٍ قَالَ

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] He said, "Indeed, I want to inform your group, but I am prevented from meeting with you out of fear that your messengerﷺ used to admonish us during his days, fearing harm upon us."  

أحمد:٤١٨٨حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ

أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنِّي لَأُخْبَرُ بِجَمَاعَتِكُمْ فَيَمْنَعُنِي الْخُرُوجَ إِلَيْكُمْ خَشْيَةُ أَنْ أُمِلَّكُمْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَخَوَّلُنَا فِي الْأَيَّامِ بِالْمَوْعِظَةِ خَشْيَةَ السَّآمَةِ عَلَيْنَا

[Machine] He said: "I inform you that I want to join your group, but I am prevented from coming to you out of fear that your Messengerﷺ used to rebuke us in the past with admonishments, in order to protect us."  

أحمد:٤٤٠٩حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ

أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنِّي لَأُخْبَرُ بِجَمَاعَتِكُمْ فَيَمْنَعُنِي الْخُرُوجَ إِلَيْكُمْ خَشْيَةُ أَنْ أُمِلَّكُمْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَخَوَّلُنَا فِي الْأَيَّامِ بِالْمَوْعِظَةِ خَشْيَةَ السَّآمَةِ عَلَيْنَا
